GEAB 195
VISION
The Terra Cognita 2089 section is designed to open up a wider time frame for our anticipations. Based on a critical analysis of the long-term strategic documents (Visions) produced by a growing number of countries and regions, we map out the global future that major world players are in the process of designing. In March, we inaugurated this section with the vision of a green Saudi Arabia by 2055. This month, we take a closer look at the future of Erdogan’s Turkey.
Turkey is probably one of the most strategically planned countries in the world. With a vision rooted in the humiliations of the past and their remaining scars (the West’s dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire), for the past 21 years one man has had a vision of the desirable and realistic repositioning of his country: Receb Tayyib Erdogan.
This vision talks a lot about the crossroads nature of the country, a bridge between east and west, north and south, also in terms of global rank (being at the forefront of developed countries); it talks about education and economic power, technologies (military, telecoms, transport, digital, etc.), society (Islam, Turkishness, values, democracy); etc…
To achieve this, Erdogan has laid out a roadmap that began in 2011 with a long-term vision to 2071[1], refined in 2020 towards a nearer horizon of 2053[2], via a first step in 2023[3], anchored in the 12thDevelopment Plan (2024-2028)[4], all now summed up in a simple mantra: “21-The Century of Türkiye”[5].
