"The world is more than five", or turkish justice

The concept of justice is actively used in the foreign policy discourse of the Republic of Turkey. The perception of this category in world politics is not uniform. The article is based on the analysis of the book "A Fairer World is Possible", written by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in 2021. The first chapter focuses on the analysis of the modern international system, identifying the main trends in its development and transformation. Special emphasis is made on the injustice of the modern system. A particular attention in the book is given to the issue of the UN reform, as the main symbol of the existing world order. The second chapter is dedicated to proposals on the UN reform, designed to create a more just world order. The main principles and directions of future reforms are highlighted. It is notable that the nature of R. T. Erdogan's theses is ambivalent: the use of the category of justice conceals actions in the foreign arena that run counter to the declared principles. The book gives an understanding of the views of the modern Turkish elite on world politics in general.
