Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, terörizm konusunda Türkiye’de yapılan akademik çalışmaları içerik ve kullanılan bilimsel araştırma yöntemleri açısından inceleyerek genel durumu ortaya koymaktır. Bu çerçevede, öncelikle çağdaş terörizm çalışmaları konusundaki uluslararası araştırmalar incelenmiş; daha sonra Türkiye’deki terörizm çalışmaları boylamsal olarak konu, kapsam ve yöntem açısından nicel ve nitel tekniklerle analiz edilmiştir. Bu maksatla, araştırma kapsamına giren doktora ve yüksek lisans tezleri ile Türkiye’de yayımlanan akademik makaleler taranarak üç farklı veri seti oluşturulmuştur. Ayrıca, terörizm konusunda çalışmaları olan akademisyenlere anket ve mülakat uygulanmıştır. Son olarak, ulaşılan bulgular ışığında alanın zayıf yönleri ile literatüre nasıl katkı yapılabileceği hususları tartışılmıştır. Türkiye’deki terörizm çalışmalarının çok disiplinli bir özellik sergilediği; farklı akademik disiplinlerden ve yeterli sayıda uzman akademisyenin yetiştirilemediği; çoğunlukla ikincil kaynaklara ve literatür taramasına dayandığı; kavramsal ve kuramsal çalışmalar ile ampirik (deneysel) araştırmaların yetersiz olduğu; nitel yöntem ve analiz tekniklerinin baskın bir şekilde kullanıldığı araştırmanın sonuçları arasındadır.

Terrorism Studies: A Descriptive Analysis on Researches in Turkey

Abstract

This study aims to determine the academic disciplinary condition of the terrorism studies in Turkey through analyzing their context and scientific research methods. Firstly, contemporary international terrorism studies have been examined, and then terrorism studies in Turkey have been analyzed longitudinally via qualitative and quantitative techniques according to their topic, context, and methodology. To reach this aim, three different datasets have been generated after examining theses, dissertations, and academic articles published in Turkey. Additionally, interviews have been conducted with and questionnaires have been sent to the academicians who study terrorism and related topics. Further, the study has discussed the problems based on the findings on terrorism researches and how to contribute to the terrorism studies. The study has concluded that terrorism studies in Turkey are multi-disciplined; based on secondary sources and literature review; lack of terrorism experts from different academic disciplines; insufficient in definitional and theoretical discussions, and empirical researches; dominated by qualitative research and analysis techniques and methods.
