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.

After Cold War, the USA felt that a new enemy and target had to
be found. For that reason US started to invade Afghanistan by using the
9/11 as a cause to reach its goals. With these incidents, it is daclared
that Afghanistan is the house of terrorism and this terrorism had to be
destroyed. But the main reason is to control Central Asia and the
region. As a result, this study tries to explore the US-led intervention in
Afghanistan, the balance of power in Central Asia, Georgian War and
Shanghai Cooperation Organization which are related to this balance.
