The Bush Administration Fiasco From Hegemony to Empire and the Obama Restoration

Yıl 2010, Cilt: 2 Sayı: 2, 115 - 136, 01.06.2010

As the Bush administration started to implement the empire project, the US transformed from hegemony to an empire. However, since the project failed, the US, which could not be an empire either, passed into a revision period, as there is no way going back to hegemony. From that point on, the US lost its luxury to dictate “be either on our side or against us” like it did during Bush’s term. During the Bush administration the US tried to use its advantageous status in the changing world with its empire project and strived to shape the said change in favor of its own interests. However, it could not succeed and, on the contrary, ended up weakening its present effectiveness and lost its superiority in many fields. Subsequently the Obama administration will mostly clean up the mess left by the Bush administration and will go for a revision. To start with, the Obama administration has to be on good terms with the Islamic World because of the badly distorted relations during Bush’s term.

Hegemonyadan İmparatorluğa Bush Yönetiminin Fiyaskosu ve Obama Restorasyonu

Yıl 2010, Cilt: 2 Sayı: 2, 115 - 136, 01.06.2010

Öz

Bush yönetiminin imparatorluk projesini uygulamaya başlamasıyla ABD, hegemonyadan imparatorluğa doğru bir dönüşüm içerisine girmiştir. Ancak, Bush yönetiminin imparatorluk projesinin başarısızlığa uğramasıyla birlikte ABD, artık ne imparatorluktu ne de bu ülkenin hegemonyaya geri dönüşü söz konusuydu. Bu noktadan itibaren ABD, artık Bush dönemindeki gibi dünyaya “ya bizimlesiniz ya da bize karşı” şeklinde dikte etme lüksünü de kaybetmiştir. Bush yönetimi döneminde ABD, değişen dünyada avantajlı konumunu kullanarak imparatorluk projesini uygulamaya ve dünyayı kendi çıkarlarına göre şekillendirmeye çalışmıştı, fakat bu politikalar başarısızlıkla sonuçlanmakla kalmamış, pek çok alanda da ABD’nin üstünlüğünü kaybetmesine ve dünyadaki prestijinin de ciddi derecede zarar görmesine yol açmıştır. İşte bütün bunlardan sonra iktidara gelen Obama ile ABD’nin Bush yönetiminin enkazını temizlemeye ve yeni bir restorasyon/revizyon politikasına yöneldiği ifade edilebilir. Bu da Bush döneminde iyice bozulan ilişkiler nedeniyle Obama yönetiminin ilk olarak İslam dünyasıyla ilişkilerini düzeltmeye yönelik politika izleyeceği/diği anlaşılmaktadır.
