ABD Önderliğinde 2001 Yılında Yapılan Afganistan Müdahalesi Sonrası Orta Asya’da Güç Dengesi

Abstract

Soğuk savaş sonrasında, ABD kendisine yeni bir düşman ve hedef bulmak zorunda olduğunu hissetmiştir. ABD 11 Eylül olaylarını da bahane ederek bu hedefini gerçekleştirmek için Afganistana müdahalede bulunmaya başlamıştır. Bu olaylarla birlikte Afganistan terörün yuvası olarak lanse edilmiş ve bu terörizmin yok edilmesi gerektiği dile getirilmiştir. Fakat burada temel amacın Orta Asyayı kontrol etmek olduğunun ifade edilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu varsayımdan hareketle bu çalışmayı ortaya koyma ihtiyacını hissettik. Çalışmamızda 11 Eylül sonrasında gerçekleşen ABD önderliğindeki Afganistan müdahalesini, bu müdahale sonrasında Orta Asyadaki güç dengesini ve bu dengeyle yakından ilişkisi olduğunu düşündüğümüz Gürcistan Savaşını ve Şangay İş Birliği Örgütünü inceleyeceğiz.
