In this episode of RANE’s Essential Geopolitics podcast, Emily Donahue speaks to Senior Middle East and North Africa analyst, Emily Hawthorne about Turkey. To the casual observer, Turkey may best be known for its history - it was the seat of the Ottoman Empire and is home to Mt. Ararat - the architecture of its capital Istanbul, and the landmark Hagia Sophia. It’s also famous for its culture, carpets, bazaars, and food. These days, however, Turkey is also notable for its volatile economy. Both the East and the West are watching.
