Dr. Sarioğlu's research specializes in International Relations with concentrated expertise in Public Diplomacy, Globalization, and International Politics. Her work critically examines China's strategic engagement with the Global South—particularly Africa and the Middle East—through empirical analysis of soft power instruments, country image dynamics, and economic diplomacy. Current investigations extend to Turkey-China relational frameworks and perceptual impacts on product quality assessments.
Her 2023-2025 publications reveal a dominant focus on China-Africa relations, with Kenya as a primary case study for analyzing diplomatic-economic interplay. Recurring themes include soft power efficacy, country reputation mechanisms, and alternative world order construction, demonstrating methodological diversity through mixed quantitative-qualitative approaches across peer-reviewed journals like Insight Turkey and SIYASAL-Journal of Political Sciences.
