The Antalya Diplomacy Forum (ADF) 2024 hosted insightful discussions on Saturday about the current crisis plaguing the international system.

With the theme “From Order to Chaos? Ideas from History Regarding the Current Crisis in the International System,” experts gathered to shed light on pressing global issues.

The panel, moderated by Kilic Bugra Kanat, director of research at the Foundation for Political, Economic, and Social Research’s Washington office (SETA), included prominent voices such as Professor Salman Sayyid from Leeds University and Professor Cemil Aydin from the University of North Carolina.

Salman Sayyid highlighted the inadequacy of small-scale solutions in tackling major problems, drawing attention to the ongoing genocide, particularly in Palestine.

He emphasized the need for a paradigm shift in the liberal international system for effectively dealing with crises.

Echoing similar sentiments, Cemil Aydin underscored the significance of understanding global issues from a broader perspective, citing Palestine as a crucial example.

He criticized the United Nations Security Council’s ineffectiveness in resolving the Palestinian conflict, stressing the need for substantial reform within the international organization.

Ayse Zarakol from the University of Cambridge also provided historical context, pointing out how the center of the global system has shifted over time, challenging conventional wisdom.

The forum’s discussions highlighted the importance of reevaluating and reforming the international system to effectively address current challenges.
