Abstract

The goal of writing this article is to provoke different thoughts about the ways of building the world in which we live. For the past few years, I have already shared some of the ideas that I develop here by writing it down in opinions and speaking at symposia, but I did not clearly relate the need for a change in the Muslim world, which begins with creating an equidistance towards the Eastern and Western powers like I am doing in this text. I would like to point out that the multitude of common interests of the countries of the Fertile Crescent should determine the concept of their regional cooperation as well as cooperation with others based on their respect for that very concept. It simply means that article deals positively with emergence of multipolarity advocating in the same time for centralized regional cooperation in Middle East and Nort Africa - for the beginning. As we witness the end of the hegemony of liberalism as a global enterprise, there is a need for a different kind of hegemony in areas that are integral parts of Muslim geography.

Liberal Paradigmanın Diktatörlüğünün Sonunda Müslüman Coğrafyası: Kendi Kaderini Düşünme Zamanı

Abstract

Bu makaleyi yazmanın amacı, içinde yaşadığımız dünyayı inşa etme yolları hakkında farklı düşünceleri teşvik etmektir. Geçtiğimiz birkaç yıldır burada geliştirdiğim fikirlerin bazılarını görüşler halinde yazarak ve sempozyumlarda konuşarak paylaşmıştım, ancak Müslüman dünyasında bir değişimin gerekliliğini net bir şekilde ilişkilendirmedim. Benim bu metinde yaptığım gibi Doğulu ve Batılı güçlere eşit mesafe. Bereketli Hilal ülkelerinin bölgesel işbirliği kavramını ve başkalarıyla işbirliği kavramını, bu kavrama saygı temelinde belirlemesi gerektiğini, Bereketli Hilal ülkelerinin ortak çıkarlarının çokluğuna bağlı olduğunu belirtmek isterim. Bu sadece, makalenin çok kutupluluğun ortaya çıkışına olumlu bir şekilde değindiği ve aynı zamanda başlangıçta Orta Doğu ve Kuzey Afrika'da merkezi bölgesel işbirliğini savunduğu anlamına geliyor. Küresel bir girişim olarak liberalizmin hegemonyasının sonuna tanık olurken, Müslüman coğrafyanın ayrılmaz parçası olan alanlarda farklı türden bir hegemonyaya ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.
