                  Recep Tayyip Erdogan will remain president of Turkey for another five years after winning Sunday’s run-off election over his rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, writes Mehmet Ozalp of Charles Sturt University. If Erdogan serves the full five-year term, he will have held power for 26 years. So, how did he win the election and what is likely to happen in the country in the foreseeable future? Click here for Mehmet’s early analysis.

                  At a recent event held to mark excellence in academic journalism at City, University of London, I had a brief but fascinating discussion with Anna Matveeva, Visiting Senior Research Fellow, King’s College London. Anna outlined her fears for people in Ukraine and Russia, and said she felt that a military solution may not be possible. And so, while highly critical of the Kremlin’s war, she asked what might the region look like when the fighting finally stops?

                  I listened intently, and I was keen to hear more. So I was delighted to note that my colleague Jonathan Este had commissioned Anna. You can read her thoughts below. Jonathan (better known to us all as Jonty) writes a round-up of events in the region every two weeks, which highlights the broad range of analysis from across The Conversation network. A number of people at the London event said they were now using it as their main guide to the conflict. I'm not surprised.

                  How Erdogan held onto power in Turkey, and what this means for the country’s future 
                  Mehmet Ozalp, Charles Sturt University 

                  Turkey desperately needed a change in government and a breath of fresh air. Now the social, political and economic suffocation is likely to get worse.

                  Despite the war, Russia is still part of Europe – for a lasting peace both sides need to remember that 
                  Anna Matveeva, King's College London 

                  Polarisation inside Russia and with Ukrainians and other Europeans is very unhelpful.
                 
                       
                          a.. South Africa’s pact with Russia – and its actions – cast doubt on its claims of non-alignment 
                          Christopher Williams, University of the Witwatersrand 

                          It’s clear that South Africa is aligned with the Russian Federation.
                       
                 
                 
                   
                  Being queer in Africa: the state of LGBTIQ+ rights across the continent 
                  Zethu Matebeni, University of Fort Hare 

                  In over 30 countries LGBTIQ+ people would face imprisonment. Progress has been made but there is still a long way to go.
                 
                   
                  Empowerment, individual strength and the many facets of love: why I fell for Tina Turner 
                  Leigh Carriage, Southern Cross University 

                  The legendary singer has died at 83. Her performance practice exemplified fierce hard work.
                 
                       
                          a.. AI is already being used in the legal system – we need to pay more attention to how we use it 
                          Morgiane Noel, Trinity College Dublin 

                          AI can help the legal system, but its use needs careful consideration.

                          Karen Chen, Yale University; Stephan Barthel, Stockholm University 

                          Areas of Danish towns and cities with fewer people and more cars come with a higher risk of depression.

                          c.. Why more foam makes for the best beer-drinking experience – and always has 
                          Anistatia Renard Miller, University of Bristol 

                          If your beer has no foam you could end up with terrible bloat.

                          d.. European soccer is having another reckoning over racism – is it time to accept the problem goes beyond bad fans? 
                          John M Sloop, Vanderbilt University 

                          Anti-racist programs and fines have failed to end racism in European soccer. Part of the problem is that Black players have little representation higher up the sport’s hierarchy.

                          e.. Listen: A 5th generation New Yorker traces her family history – and the roots of Asian resistance and survival 
                          Vinita Srivastava, The Conversation 

                          Author Ava Chin, a 5th generation New Yorker, traces the roots of today’s high rates of anti-Asian violence back to 19th century U.S. labour and immigration laws.
