Abstract

İlişkisellik, son on senede uluslararası ilişkilerde daha geniş bir okuyucu kitlesi çekmiş görünmektedir.
Uluslararası düzeni analiz veya stabilize etmeye daha fazla odaklanan diğer ilişkisel dönüş yaklaşımlarının aksine,
Budist uluslararası ilişkiler teorisi, esas olarak insanların kurtuluşu ve iyileştirilmesinin politik pratiğiyle ilgilidir.
Bu makalede vaka çalışmaları kullanarak Mahāyāna Budist öğretilerinin uluslararası ilişkiler alanına nasıl katkıda
bulunabileceğini göstereceğim. İncelenecek vakalar Okinawa üs sorunu, Danimarka’nın “karanlıktaki ışığı” ve
Güney Kore-Japonya diplomatik ilişkilerinden oluşmaktadır.

Buddhism and the Question of Relationality in International Relations

Abstract

Relationality seems to have attracted a broader audience in international relations (IR) in the last decade. Unlike
other approaches of the relational turn that concentrate more on analyzing or stabilizing the international order,
the Buddhist theory of IR is mainly concerned with the political practice of the liberation and healing of people.
In this article, I will illustrate how Mahāyāna Buddhist teachings can contribute to IR by using case studies. The
cases to investigate include the Okinawa base issue, Denmark’s ‘light in the darkness’, and South Korea-Japan
diplomatic relations.
