| Summary/Abstract |
Turkey has intervened in conflicts in surrounding states with its locally developed drones, which have been the chief factor behind its military success, and has accomplished its goals without drawing unfavorable responses from other powers. The features of drones, low economic and political cost, allowed Turkey to achieve its goals. This article analyzes Turkey’s development of drones and its interventions in Libya, Syria, and Nagorno-Karabakh, where Turkish drones proved their military effectiveness and diplomatic celerity, earning Turkey a reputation as a reliable ally and a potential defense exporter, which has raised its national pride and confidence in expanding its influence.

| Summary/Abstract |
In this article the author points out many contradictory elements of the use of drones for targeted killing that clash with stated desired outcomes of American foreign policy. He argues that through the use of such technologies the US quest for better international relations is unlikely, given the contradictory nature of American calls for other nations to abide by international law, while at the same time using drones for targeted killings in a fashion that many in the international community see as being outside of the accepted rules of international conduct. Finally, he argues that the use of such drone strikes has the potential to alienate British public opinion and therefore British policy-makers, thus creating friction in the Anglo-American strategic relationship.

| Summary/Abstract |
This research note explores the ethical and methodological implications of using drones for ethnographic research at events that involve simultaneous activities and/or large crowds and large spaces. Based on the methodological challenges of collecting visual data using cameras in the case of royal funerals in Ghana, this note argues that the aerial viewpoint provided by drones could transform visual data collection by capturing sophisticated views of multiple events happening at the same time. However, it also identifies ethical and methodological challenges of using drones and argues that it could obscure the understanding of sociocultural complexities. This research note contributes to our understanding of visual methodologies by highlighting how drone technology extends and complicates current understandings and debates on the use of photographs and films in ethnography.
