Abstract

This study comprehensively addresses the geopolitical consequences of the Russia-Ukraine War, which clearly reshaped international relations and global power dynamics in the 21st century. The starting point of the study is the immediate geopolitical consequences in Eastern Europe. The Russia-Ukraine War changed the strategic balance in the region with the redefinition of regional borders and the change of national sovereignty and political affiliations. This conflict also revealed the weaknesses of post-Soviet states and spurred a reassessment of security and defense strategies. We then explore the broader international consequences of the war, particularly its role in increasing tensions between Russia and the West. The study examines the impact of the war on energy security, given Ukraine's critical position in transporting Russian natural gas to Europe. The future of energy policy, diversification of energy sources and the increasing importance of energy geopolitics are evaluated in the context of this scenario. The study also emphasizes the redefinition of the global security order brought about by war. On the other hand, the study points out that the conflict, following allegations of cyber warfare, has brought the issue of cyber security ahead of international security concerns. Finally, the effects of the Russia-Ukraine War on global normative structures are examined. This study systematically evaluates these aspects, contributing to a nuanced understanding of the multifaceted geopolitical consequences of the Russia-Ukraine War. It highlights the far-reaching effects of conflict that reverberate beyond its immediate geographical borders and calls for collective and coherent international strategies to maintain global peace and security.

Rusya-Ukrayna Savaşı'nın jeopolitik sonuçları

Abstract

Bu çalışma, 21. yüzyılda uluslararası ilişkileri ve küresel güç dinamiklerini açıkça yeniden şekillendiren Rusya-Ukrayna Savaşı’nın kapsamlı jeopolitik sonuçlarını kapsamlı bir şekilde ele almaktadır. Çalışmanın başlangıç noktası, Doğu Avrupa’da hemen ortaya çıkan jeopolitik sonuçlardır. Rusya-Ukrayna Savaşı, bölgesel sınırların yeniden tanımlanması, ulusal egemenliklerin ve siyasi bağlantıların değişmesiyle birlikte bölgedeki stratejik dengeyi değiştirmiştir. Bu çatışma aynı zamanda Sovyet sonrası devletlerin zayıflıklarını da ortaya çıkarmış ve güvenlik ve savunma stratejilerinin yeniden değerlendirilmesini teşvik etmiştir. Ardından, savaşın daha geniş uluslararası sonuçlarını, özellikle Rusya ile Batı arasındaki gerilimleri artırma rolünü keşfediyoruz. Rusya-Ukrayna çatışması, Rusya’nın Avrupa Birliği (AB), Kuzey Atlantik Antlaşması Örgütü (NATO) ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (ABD) ile ilişkilerini geriletmiş ve Doğu-Batı ayrımını derinleştirmiştir. İnceleme, küresel güçler arasında ittifak değişikliklerini, stratejik ortaklıklardaki değişimleri ve askeri, ekonomik ve siyasi çıkarların yeniden hizalanmasını kapsamaktadır. Çalışma, Rus doğalgazının Avrupa’ya taşınmasında Ukrayna’nın kritik konumu göz önüne alındığında savaşın enerji güvenliği üzerindeki etkisini inceler. Enerji politikasının geleceği, enerji kaynaklarının çeşitlendirilmesi ve enerji jeopolitiğinin artan önemi, bu senaryo bağlamında değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışma ayrıca savaşın getirdiği küresel güvenlik düzeninin yeniden tanımlanmasını vurgulamaktadır. Çatışmanın NATO’nun kolektif savunma politikasına etkisini, savunma taahhütlerinin gözden geçirilmesini ve çeşitli ülkelerde askeri harcamaların artmasını vurgulamaktadır. Ayrıca, siber savaş iddialarının ardından çatışmanın siber güvenlik konusunu uluslararası güvenlik endişelerinin önüne taşıdığına dikkat çekmektedir. Ayrıca, savaş sırasında uluslararası hukukun ve çok taraflı kurumların rolünü ve etkinliğini değerlendiriyoruz. Uluslararası yaptırımların etkin olmaması, çatışmayı etkili bir şekilde önlemekte veya hafifletmede başarısız olunması, uluslararası çatışma çözüm mekanizmalarının geleceği hakkında önemli soruları gündeme getirmiştir. Son olarak, Rusya-Ukrayna Savaşı’nın küresel normatif yapılar üzerindeki etkileri incelenmektedir. Savaş, uluslararası normlar olan toprak bütünlüğü ve devlet egemenliğini sorgulayarak, yeni bir jeopolitik düzensizlik döneminin habercisi olabilir. Bu çalışma, Rusya-Ukrayna Savaşı’nın çok yönlü jeopolitik sonuçlarının nüanslı bir anlayışına katkıda bulunarak, bu yönleri sistemli bir şekilde değerlendirir. Çatışmanın doğrudan coğrafi sınırlarının ötesinde yankılanan geniş kapsamlı etkilerini vurgulamakta ve küresel barış ve güvenliği sürdürmek için kolektif ve tutarlı uluslararası stratejilere çağrı yapmaktadır.
