Security Studies as a Subfield of International Relations

Abstract

The article’s methodology is constructed on the argument that as a sub-field, Security Studies’ changing character and evolution is related with the historical and socio-political circumstances from the first appearance after World War II until today. It is aimed in this paper, besides drawing a descriptive representation of different perspectives in Security Studies, to establish a deeper understanding in what kind of context these different approaches took shape. From this point of view, the historical process-tracing analysis method is adopted and analysis under three headings was conducted. In the first section, the developments which established the proper ground for the foundation of Security Studies and their consequences were analyzed. In the second section, the traditional approaches which were prominent in the Cold War era were examined in the historical context. In the last section, the appearance of widening and deepening approaches after the Cold War was scrutinized. The analysis and results generally supported the main argument of the article and these were evaluated and discussed within the context of future possibilities as a conclusion.
