Abstract

 

The ongoing Ukrainian crisis began in 2014 with
street protests, supported by Western states, to topple the pro-Russian
government of Ukraine. The crisis evolved into the invasion and annexation of
Crimea by Russia, ongoing conflicts between legal Ukrainian government troops
and Russian-supported local separatists in eastern Ukraine. This article
analyzes the crisis within the theory of proxy warfare, which emerged during
the Cold War as the most prevalent method of competition between the US and the
former Soviet Union. The paper argues that the Ukrainian crisis presents an
example of proxy warfare between the West and Russia for global hegemony, and
that its result will affect not just Eurasia but security world-wide.

Ukrayna Krizi 2014 yılında Rus yanlısı Ukrayna hükümetini devirmek
amacıyla batılı ülkelerce desteklenen sokak gösterileri neticesinde
başlamıştır. Kriz Kırım’ın Rusya tarafından işgali ve ilhakı ile Ukrayna
Hükümeti birlikleri ile Rusya tarafından desteklenen ayrılıkçı yerel halk
arasında Ukrayna’nın doğusunda halen devam eden çatışmaya dönüşmüştür. Makale,
krizi Soğuk Savaş döneminde ABD ile eski Sovyetler Birliği arasındaki rekabette
çok yaygın bir şekilde başvurulan yöntem olan vekâlet savaşları teorisi
çerçevesinde analiz etmektedir. Çalışma, Ukrayna krizinin Rusya ve Batılı
Devletler arasında küresel hegemonya amacıyla yapılan bir vekâlet savaşı
örneğini teşkil ettiğini ve sonucunun sadece Avrasya'dan ziyade tüm dünyanın
güvenliğini etkileyeceğini öne sürmektedir.
