“…In this respect, it is seen that both countries move towards developing economic geography topics in their geography programs and include topics related to current issues. As a matter of fact, it is important to prepare geography programs based on understanding the mutual relations of different geographical places in the world (Bennetts, 2020;Hall & Moore-Cherry, 2022). In this context, it is seen that the geography programs of Turkey and Turkmenistan aim to provide education related to the conditions in the world while addressing economic geography.…”

Education curricula are programs that include topics for students’ academic achievement and individual development. Geography curricula cover many subjects such as physical, human, economic and environmental issues. In this study, the economic geography contents of Turkey and Turkmenistan high school geography curricula were compared in the study. Firstly, the content of 10th, 11th and 12th grades in the geography programs of both countries was investigated and evaluated. The study is qualitative in nature as it is mainly based on document analysis. Economic geography topics in geography programs according to grade levels were examined and the similarities and differences between the economic geography subjects in the geography programs of both countries were determined. In both countries, economic geography subjects are included in the 12-year compulsory education, especially after the 10th grade. Moreover, both programsinclude economic geography topics from a local to global scale.

“…As noted, debate concerning the relationship between geography and public policy gained particular impetus in the late 1960s and early 1970s on foot of the so called 'relevance debates' (Johnston & Sidaway, 2016). These debates revolved around a second axis of tension, alongside the pure-applied tension, that has played an increasingly important role in debates around geography and public policy: the applied-critical tension (Hall & Moore-Cherry, 2022).

Amidst political and institutional demands for a focus on 'translational ', 'applied', 'useful', 'relevant', 'impactful' and 'engaged' research, this Special Section revisits and resituates the question of geography's relationship with public policy and asks how do we respond to these societal demands? We need not start from scratch; in fact, there exists a substantial established literature on the geography-public policy relationship and its actual and potential trajectories. These debates need to be recontextualised and supplemented so that they are more thoroughly situated and sensitized to contemporary conjunctures, risks and opportunities.
