Emekli Subayların Bakış Açısından Türkiye'nin Dış Politika Alternatifleri Ve Güvenlik Sorunları

Abstract

Ülkelerin dış işleri ve güvenlikle ilgili meseleleri tartışılırken ve politikaları oluşturulurken, bu alanlarda çalışanların görüş ve deneyimlerinden faydalanmak önemli katkılar sağlayabilir. Bu durum özellikle Türkiye gibi dış ilişkiler ve güvenlik açısından son derece dinamik ve çok değişkenli bir coğrafyada yer alan ülkeler için geçerlidir. Söz konusu dinamizm ve çok değişkenlilik içerisinde Türkiye için en iyi dış politika seçeneği nedir? Ya da ülkenin karşı karşıya bulunduğu en önemli sorunlar ve güvenlik meseleleri nelerdir? Bu makale, Türk Silahlı Kuvvetleri’nden emekli subaylar ile yapılan bir ankete dayanarak bu soruların cevaplarını analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

What is the best foreign policy option for Türkiye in this dynamic and multivariate environment? Or what are the most important problems and security issues facing the country?
