Abstract

Rapid
changes that occurred in the Turkish politics in the last 15 years also had a
profound impact on the foreign policy vision. New dynamism resulted in revision
of traditional principles in the Turkish foreign policy where views on
deployment of military power has been occupied a central place. To understand
these new developments we should grasp the nature of Turkish strategic culture,
i.e. views, ideas and norms surrounding military power use outside national
borders. Historical cases when Turkish decision-makers had to deal with security
issues and were pondering over use of power may provide a factual background
for formation of theoretical views on strategic culture of Turkey.

Türkiye'nin Stratejik Kültürü

Abstract

Son 15 yılda Türk
siyasetinde meydana gelen hızlı değişimlerin dış politika vizyonu üzerinde de
derin etkileri oldu. Yeni dinamizm, Türk dış politikasında, askeri gücün
konuşlandırılmasına ilişkin görüşlerin merkezi bir yer tuttuğu geleneksel
ilkelerin revize edilmesine neden oldu. Bu yeni gelişmeleri anlamak için, Türk
stratejik kültürünün doğasını, yani ulusal sınırların dışındaki askeri güç
kullanımını ilgilendiren görüş, fikir ve normları kavrayalım. Türk karar
vericilerin güvenlik meselelerini ele almak zorunda kaldıkları ve iktidarın
kullanımını düşünen tarihsel vakalar, Türkiye'nin stratejik kültürü üzerine
teorik görüşlerin oluşturulması için kuramsal bir arka plan sağlayabilir.
