Abstract

This study examines the material and intellectual factors that make inter-state cooperation possible from a constructivist perspective and aims to assess the impact of identity and culture on Turkey's planned partnership with China under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The BRI, which envisions the creation of a new China-centered economic-political structure and value system in the long run, seems to be a manifestation of China's desire to transform the existing order of international relations. The article examines from a constructionist perspective the question marks raised by Turkey's participation in this large-scale project, where Westernized intellectuals are the main constitutive element, and where Turkey has been included in the economic, political and military architecture of the West since the Second World War with the Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan and NATO membership.

Türkiye’nin Çin ile İşbirliği Yapabilme Kapasitesinin Kimlik ve Kültür Üzerinden Değerlendirilmesi: Kuşak ve Yol İnisiyatifi Çerçevesinde İnşacı Bir Perspektif

Abstract

Bu çalışma devletler arası işbirliklerini mümkün kılan maddi ve düşünsel faktörleri inşacı bir perspektiften ele almakta, bu çerçevede Türkiye’nin Kuşak ve Yol İnisiyatifi (BRI) kapsamında Çin ile gerçekleştirmeyi planladığı ortaklık üzerinde kimlik ve kültürün etkisinin değerlendirilmesini amaçlamaktadır. Uzun vadede Çin merkezli yeni bir ekonomik-politik yapı ve değerler sisteminin yaratılmasını öngören BRI, Çin’in uluslararası ilişkilerin mevcut düzenini dönüştürmeye dair arzularının bir tezahürü gibi görünmektedir. Makalede Batılılaşmış aydınların temel kurucu unsur olduğu, İkinci Dünya Savaşı’ndan itibaren Truman Doktrini, Marshall Planı ve NATO üyeliği ile Batı’nın iktisadi, politik ve askeri mimarisi içerisinde yer almış Türkiye’nin, bu geniş çaplı projeye katılımının yarattığı soru işaretleri inşacı bir perspektiften irdelenmektedir.
