In an era of rapidly shifting global balances, strategic foresight is no longer a choice — it is a necessity. At the Propeller Club Port of Istanbul February Dinner, we reflected on the changing global order.
On February 26, 2026, we gathered at the Grand Hyatt Istanbul with our members and distinguished guests to discuss the ongoing transformation of the international system.
We were honored to host Professor Soli Özel, whose keynote address, “Order After Disorder: Global Power Shifts, the Future of Institutions, and Turkey’s Strategic Direction,” examined how intensifying global competition, geopolitical developments across the
Middle East, and evolving security dynamics are reshaping today’s world.
The discussion also addressed Turkey’s strategic positioning, risks, and opportunities within an increasingly multipolar international environment through an interactive exchange of perspectives.
Recent geopolitical developments marked by rising regional tensions have further highlighted the timeliness and relevance of the discussions held during the evening.
With strong participation and engaging dialogue, the evening reaffirmed the Propeller Club Port of Istanbul’s role as a platform for informed discussion on global developments.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Professor Soli Özel for his valuable contributions, and to express our gratitude to all participants for making the evening so enriching with their meaningful dialogue and strategic reflections.
