Abstract

This study examines conceptually the
relationship between sustainable security approach and public administration.
Sustainable security represents the latest approach to security understanding
within sustainable development policy which establishes a causality
relationship between security and development. According to sustainable
security approach, the focus should be on developmental and environmental root
causes that undermine security conditions of individuals and communities,
rather than on merely security issues and the state. In this respect,
sustainable security approach contends that national security paradigm and
pertinent security organization should change accordingly. The study first
examines sustainable security approach drawing upon pertinent literature and
policy documents. Then it discusses its implications for public administration.
In this context, as an emerging security approach, sustainable security points
to a long-reaching security organization in public administration, which relies
on strategic management and foresight, and where coordination and policy
coherence come to forefront. It can be asserted that sustainable security
organization will be shaped by a public policy process which is
multidisciplinary and integrated, in addition to the balances between effectiveness
and accountability as well as between short-term and long-term. It is likely
that a relevant security ethics will emerge and the relationships of both
“economics-security” and “urbanization-security” as well as urban security
policies will come to the fore.

SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR GÜVENLİK YAKLAŞIMI VE KAMU YÖNETİMİ İLİŞKİSİ ÜZERİNE KAVRAMSAL BİR İNCELEME

Abstract

Bu çalışma,
sürdürülebilir güvenlik yaklaşımı ve kamu yönetimi arasındaki ilişkiyi
kavramsal olarak incelemektedir. Sürdürülebilir güvenlik, kalkınma ile güvenlik
arasında nedensellik ilişkisi kuran sürdürülebilir kalkınma politikası
içerisindeki en son güvenlik anlayışını temsil etmektedir. Sürdürülebilir
güvenlik yaklaşımına göre, sadece güvenlik sorunlarına ve devlete odaklanmak
yerine bireylerin ve toplulukların güvenlik koşullarını olumsuz etkileyen,
kalkınma ve çevre sorunlarına ilişkin kök nedenlere odaklanılmalıdır. Bu
yönüyle, sürdürülebilir güvenlik ulusal güvenlik anlayışının ve buna ait ulusal
güvenlik örgütlenmesinin değişimini talep etmektedir. Çalışma öncelikle
sürdürülebilir güvenlik yaklaşımını ilgili literatür ve politika belgelerinden
incelemekte; daha sonra bu yaklaşımın kamu yönetimi bağlamında sonuçlarını
tartışmaktadır. Bu kapsamda, sürdürülebilir güvenlik henüz gelişmekte olan bir
yaklaşım olarak kamu yönetiminde uzun vadeli, stratejik yönetim ve uzgörüye
dayanan, eşgüdüm ve politika uyumunun öne çıktığı bir güvenlik örgütlenmesine
işaret etmektedir. Sürdürülebilir güvenlik öğütlenmesini ise,
etkililik-hesapverebilirlik ve kısa vade-uzun vade dengeleri yanında çok
disiplinli ve bütünleşik bir kamu politikası sürecinin biçimlendireceği ileri
sürülebilir. Bu güvenlik yaklaşımı çerçevesinde güvenlik etiğinin gelişmesi;
yönetimde “ekonomi-güvenlik” ve “kentleşme-güvenlik” ilişkileri ile kentsel
güvenlik politikalarının öne çıkması olası görülmektedir.
