Afrika Birliği’nin Barış ve Güvenlik Politikasının Sınırları: Burundi Müdahalesi Örneği

Abstract

Bu makalede, Afrika Birliği Örgütü'nden Afrika Birliği'ne barış ve güvenlik politikasının sınırları Burundi müdahalesi örneği üzerinden tartışılacaktır. "Afrikalı sorunlara Afrikalı çözümler" geliştirme amacıyla ve etkisizleşen BM sistemine bir tepki olarak Afrika Birliği Örgütü'nün Afrika Birliği'ne dönüştüğü yönünde literatürdeki yaygın kabulün aksine, bu makale kapsamında sözkonusu dönüşümün bizatihi BM tarafından desteklendiği ileri sürülmektedir.

THE LIMITS OF THE AFRICAN UNION’S PEACE AND SECURITY POLICY: THE CASE OF THE INTERVENTION IN BURUNDI

Abstract

In this article, the limits of the peace and security policy from the Organization of African Unity to the African Union will be discussed within the example of the Burundi intervention. In contrary to the widespread acceptence in the literature that the Organization of African Unity has been transformed into the African Union as a reaction to incapabilities of UN system and in order to develop "African solutions to African problems;" in this article it will be argued that UN itself supports this transformation process.
