ULUSLARARASI GÜVENLİK VE ÇEVRE: EKOFEMINIST BİR YAKLAŞIMA DOĞRU

Abstract

Tehdit algıları zaman içinde değiştiğinden ve çok yönlü hale geldiğinden, Uluslararası Güvenlik Çalışmaları içindeki her bir teorik gelenek, çevresel tehditleri ve güvenliği çok farklı yorumlamış, kimin veya neyin güvence altına alınacağı ve neye karşı güvence altına alınacağı gibi temel soruları yanıtlamak için birbiriyle çatışan dayanak noktalarını savunmuştur. Çevresel güvenlik üzerine yapılan akademik çalışmaların çeşitliliğine rağmen, ekofeminizm ve güvenlik arasındaki bağlantıyı ortaya koymak için daha sistematik çalışmalar yapılması gerekmektedir. Dolayısıyla bu çalışma, öncelikle çevresel güvenliğe yönelik farklı yaklaşımların gelişimini ortaya koymakta ve sonuç olarak ekofeminizm yaklaşımının gezegensel güvenlik ve adalet için insan ve doğa ilişkisine nasıl dönüştürücü bir bakış açısı sağladığını göstermektedir.

INTERNATIONAL SECURITY AND ENVIRONMENT: TOWARDS AN ECOFEMINIST APPROACH

Abstract

Since the perceptions of threats have been revised and multiplexed across time, each theoretical tradition within International Security Studies has interpreted environmental threats and security very differently, advocating competing standing points to answer the essential questions of who or what is to be secured and what is to be secured against. Despite the diversity of academic studies on environmental security, more systematic work still needs to be done to explore the linkage between ecofeminism and security. Thus, this study firstly exhibits the evolution of different approaches to environmental security and consequently shows how the lens of ecofeminism provides transformative insight into the human and nature relationship for planetary security and justice.
