Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the regional and global risks and threats posed by the energy resource potential of the Arctic Region. The problems in the region have been analyzed by the international security theories namely Copenhagen School and the Aberystwyth School. This study is based on the hypothesis that while the Arctic Region increases regional competition in terms of its natural resource potential and new maritime trade routes, it creates an atmosphere of insecurity both regionally and globally. The following questions were sought to verify the hypothesis: What is the strategic importance of the Arctic Region for the related states? What are the risks and threats of the conflicts in the Arctic Region within the scope of international security? How can the problems in the region be solved?

Arktik Bölgesinin Kopenhag ve Aberystwyth Ekolü İle İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı Arktika Bölgesi’nin var olan enerji kaynak potansiyelinin bölgesel ve küresel açıdan oluşturduğu risk ve tehditleri incelemektir. Bölgedeki sorunlar uluslararası güvenlik teorilerinden olan Kopenhag Ekolü ve Aberystwyth Ekolü ile analiz edilmiştir. Bu çalışma, Arktika Bölgesi sahip olduğu doğal kaynak potansiyeli ve yeni açılacak olan deniz ticaret güzergâhları açısından bölgesel rekabeti artırırken, hem bölgesel hem de küresel açıdan güvensizlik ortamı yaratmaktadır hipotezine dayanmaktadır. Hipotezin doğrulaması için “Arktika Bölgesi’nin devletler için stratejik önemi nedir? Arktika Bölgesi’ndeki anlaşmazlıkların uluslararası güvenlik kapsamında içerdiği risk ve tehditler nelerdir? Bölgedeki sorunlar nasıl çözülebilir?” sorularına cevaplar aranmıştır.
