Abstract

11 Eylül 2001 tarihinde el-Kaide tarafından ABD’ye
düzenlenen terörist saldırılar uluslararası ilişkiler alanında küresel terörizm
ile mücadele ve kuvvet kullanımı ile ilgili tartışmaları yeniden
yoğunlaştırmıştır. Küresel alandaki “yeni” tehdide karşı stratejisini Bush
Doktrini ile oluşturan küresel güç ABD’nin bu çerçevedeki ilk ve somut kuvvet
uygulaması 2003 yılındaki Irak işgali olmuştur. Bu çalışma ilk olarak Irak
işgali ile somut nitelik kazanan Bush Doktrinini,
kuvvet kullanımının tarihsel gelişimi ve günümüzdeki kapsamı açısından
değerlendirmektedir. Dünyanın daha barışçıl ve güvenilir olmasını
demokrasilerin küresel alanda yaygınlaştırılmasına bağlayan Bush Doktrini, haklı savaş ve bu savaş biçiminin önemli
geleneği ve literatürde yeterince dikkat çekilmeyen boyutu kutsal savaş
bağlamında incelenmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışma, Bush doktrinini kutsal savaşa
yaklaştıran Irak savaşını gerekçelendirmeye yönelik kullanılan Amerika Birleşik
Devletleri’nin (ABD) siyasi ve söylemsel eylemlerini, bu girişimlere
uluslararası tepkileri ve bu girişimlerin somut sonuçlarını Irak örneği üzerinden
analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır

RADICAL PERIOD on THE USE of FORCE: BUSH DOCTRINE, INVASION of IRAQ and INTENSIFYING JUST/HOLY WAR DEBATES

Abstract

The debate on the fight against global terrorism
and the use of force has intensified in the
field of international relations as a result of the September 11, 2001 ​​terrorist attacks in the
United States of America perpetrated by al-Qaeda. Designing its strategy with
Bush Doctrine against “new” threat within global area, United States of
America’s (USA) first and concrete use of
force in this context was the invasion of Iraq in 2003. The present study
firstly assesses the Bush Doctrine with
respect to the historical and present context of the use of force. The Bush Doctrine that links a more peaceful and safe world
to global democratization, is analyzed within the framework of “the just war” (bellum iustum) and its important
tradition and least-emphasized dimension within the literature, holy war. In
this context, the study intends to analyze USA’s discursive and political
practices to justify Iraq war that brings Bush Doctrine to holy war,
international reactions to these attempts and tangible results of these policies
through the Iraq example.
