Emperyal Dil Oyunları ve Güvensizliğin İnşası: Trump Döneminde ABD’nin Ulusal Güvenlik Stratejilerindeki Dönüşümler

Abstract

Ulusal güvenlik strateji belgelerinin metinsel kurgusu, tehditleri nesnel olarak tanımlamak yerine, kimi ulusları “ötekileştirmeyi” amaçlayan kasıtlı dil oyunları aracılığıyla subjektif olarak inşa etmektedir. Bu bağlamda Trump yönetimi de önceki yönetimlerin ulus inşası ve liberal enternasyonalizm eksenli müdahaleci politikalarını, “Önce Amerika” ve “Amerika’yı Yeniden Büyük Yap” sloganları altında milliyetçi-popülist bir forma dönüştürmüş, böylece ABD’nin ulusal güvenlik söyleminde doktriner anlamda bir değişim yaratmıştır. Her ne kadar Trump döneminde emperyal müdahalelerde bir geri çekilme olmasa da küresel Güney’i hedef alan saldırılar giderek daha görünür şekilde enerji hakimiyeti ve kritik sanayilerin yerlileştirilmesi eksenli olarak yeniden yapılandırılmaktadır. Bu politika, pratikte liberal uluslararası düzenin “evrenselci” iddialarını aşındırmakta ve onu liberal-olmayan bir emperyal söylem içinde yeniden üretmektedir. Bu çerçevede makale, ABD’nin 11 Eylül sonrası dönemi şekillendiren ulusal güvenlik stratejileri ile Trump yönetiminin güvenliğe dair söylem ve pratiklerini karşılaştırmalı olarak incelemektedir.

Imperial Language Games and the Construction of Insecurity: Shifts in US National Security Discourse in the Trump Era

Abstract

The textual construction of national security strategy documents, rather than defining threats objectively, constructs them subjectively through deliberate language games that aim to “other” certain nations. In this context, the Trump administration transformed the interventionist policies of previous administrations—centred on nation-building and liberal internationalism—into a nationalist-populist form under the slogans of “America First” and “Make America Great Again,” thereby creating a doctrinal shift in US national security discourse. Although there has been no withdrawal from imperial interventions in the Trump era, assaults targeting the Global South are increasingly and more visibly restructured around energy dominance and the reshoring of critical industries. In practice, this policy undermines the “universalist” claims of the liberal international order, yet reproduces it within an illiberal imperial discourse. Within this framework, the article comparatively examines the national security strategies that shaped the post-9/11 era and the security discourses and practices of the Trump administration.
