This interview brings together Ayşe Nur Karagöz, an EUREFLECT contributor with a Master’s degree in Islamic Law and Islamic Political Philosophy, and Prof. Dr. Mehmet Evkuran, a distinguished Turkish scholar.

Business Diplomat: Strategic Responsibility in Trade

This interview brings together Ayşe Nur Karagöz, an EUREFLECT contributor with a Master’s degree in Islamic Law and Islamic Political Philosophy, and Prof. Dr. Mehmet Evkuran, a distinguished Turkish scholar.

Business Diplomat: The Human Force Behind Exports and Investment
