Subayların Bakış Açısından Türkiye'nin Dış Politika Alternatifleri ve Güvenlik Sorunları

Year 2024, Volume: 6 Issue: 2

Abstract

Ülkelerin dışişleri 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 olduğu 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.

Turkey's Foreign and Security Policy from the Officers' Perspective

Year 2024, Volume: 6 Issue: 2

Abstract

While discussing foreign affairs and security issues of countries and formulating policies, benefiting from the views and experiences of those working in these fields can make significant contributions. This is especially true for a country like Turkey, which is located in a highly dynamic and multivariate geography in terms of foreign affairs and security. What is the best foreign policy option for Turkey in this dynamic and multivariate environment? Or what are the most important problems and security issues facing the country? This article aims to analyse the answers to these questions based on a survey of retired officers of the Turkish Armed Forces.
