Abstract

Ortadoğu son yıllarda sıkça dış müdahalelere ve süper güçlerin çıkar ilişkilerine maruz kaldı. Bu durum, bölgesel gelişmelerde iç dinamiklerin etkisinin arka planda kalmasına yol açtı. Halbuki, Ortadoğu'nun bölgesel güçleri konumunda olan Türkiye, Suudi Arabistan, Mısır ve İran arasındaki bölgesel güç mücadeleleri ve bu ülkelerin rol savaşları bölgeyi anlamak için oldukça önemlidir. Bu makale Ortadoğu'nun bölgesel güçleri arasındaki liderlik mücadelesini ve rol kavramsallaştırmalarını Türkiye ve Suudi Arabistan ilişkilerine odaklanarak incelemektedir. Bu makale, Türkiye'nin Körfez bölgesinde Suudi Arabistan'ın ulusal rol kavramsallaştırmalarına bir rakip değil, Körfez güvenliği ve ticari ilişkileri açısından elverişli bir partner olduğu argümanını savunmaktadır. Türkiye ve Suudi Arabistan ilişkileri, karşılıklı normalleşme adımları ve Türkiye'nin ihracata dayalı büyüme ve bölgesel işbirliği stratejileri ile olumlu bir seyir izleyecektir.

Role Conceptions and Leadership Rivalry in the Middle East: Transforming Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Gulf Relations

Abstract

In recent years, the Middle East has often been the subject of foreign interventions and the interests of superpowers. The effect of internal dynamics was pushed to the background in regional developments due to this situation. It is vital, however, to analyze the Middle East by understanding the power struggles between the regional powers Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iran. This article examines the leadership struggle and role conceptualizations between the regional powers of the Middle East with a focus on the relations between Turkey and Saudi Arabia. It argues that Turkey is not a rival to Saudi Arabia’s national role conceptions in the Gulf region but rather a favorable partner in Gulf security and economic relations. Relations between Turkey and Saudi Arabia will follow a positive course with mutual normalization steps and Turkey’s export-led growth and regional cooperation strategies.
