The Turkic World Vision 2040 – Strategic Integration And Eurasia’s Emerging Power Axis

This month’s Sharp Scope examines a major but often under-analysed development in Eurasian geopolitics: the Turkic World Vision–2040.

Authored by Dr Lakshmi Karlekar, Assistant Professor, Political Science & International Relations, Ramaiah College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Bengaluru, the analysis moves beyond cultural symbolism to assess how the Organisation of Turkic States is evolving into a structured geopolitical, economic, and civilizational bloc.

The article explores:

• The institutional consolidation of the Turkic world
• Security, energy, and connectivity ambitions shaping Eurasia
• The Trans-Caspian Middle Corridor as a geoeconomic spine
• The growing relevance of this vision for India in a multipolar order

As regional groupings gain strategic weight across the globe, the Turkic World Vision–2040 offers valuable insight into how power, identity, and connectivity are being reconfigured across Eurasia—and why India cannot afford to ignore this shift.

We invite you to read, reflect, and engage with this edition of Sharp Scope (PDF below).
