Abstract

Bu çalışmada, uluslararası ilişkiler disiplininde Soğuk Savaş sonrası dönemde yaşanan kuramsal çeşitlenme neticesinde realist gelenek içerisinde başlayan eleştiri ve sorgulamalara bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan neoklasik realizmin temel argümanları, amaçları ve kullanılma alanları sorgulanmıştır. Disiplinin en baskın kuramı olan yapısal (neo) realizmin özünde bir uluslararası politika kuramı olması ve temel belirleyiciliği uluslararası sistemin yapısına vermesi, devletlerin münferit dış politikalarının yarattığı etkilerin incelenmesinde eksikliklere neden olmuştur. Esasen bir dış politika analizi yaklaşımı olan neoklasik realizm de bu eksikliğin giderilmesi amacıyla uluslararası sistemin baskısı ile yerel dinamiklerin belirleyiciliğini birleştirerek dış politika davranışlarının anlaşılması için kuramsal bir çerçeve sunmaktadır. Makalede, neoklasik realizmin diğer realist kuramlardan nasıl ayrıldığı, kurguladığı dış politika analizi modelinin bileşenleri olan bağımsız, bağımlı ve ara değişkenler üzerinden incelenmiş ve nihayetinde neoklasik realizme yönelik eleştiriler yeni çalışmalar üzerinden tartışılmıştır. Sonuç olarak da özellikle değişen uluslararası politika koşullarının çözümlenmesi noktasında realist bakış açısından devletlerin dış politikalarının analiz edilmesinin alana sağladığı katkı açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır.

Evaluation of neoclasiccal realism as a foreign policy analysis approach

Abstract

In this study, the main arguments, aims and application areas of neoclassical realism which emerged as a result of the criticism and questioning within the realist tradition due to the theoretical diversification experienced after the Cold War in the discipline of international relations are questioned. The fact that the dominant theory of the discipline, structural (neo) realism, indeed is an international policy theory and that it gives the fundamental determinants to the structure of the international system has caused deficiencies in examining the effects of individual foreign policies of the states. Neoclassical realism, which is essentially a foreign policy analysis approach, provides a theoretical framework for understanding foreign policy behaviors by combining the determinism of local dynamics with the pressure of the international system in order to overcome this deficiency. In the article, how neoclassical realism differs from other realist theories is examined through independent, dependent and intervening variables which are the components of the foreign policy analysis model it has constructed, and ultimately criticisms of neoclassical realism are discussed through new studies. And finally, the contribution the analysis of the foreign policies of the states from the realist point of view has made especially to the analysis of the changing international policy conditions has been tried to be explained.
