Uluslararası İlişkiler’de rasyonalite ve reflektivite arasında bir orta yol çağrısı yapan inşacı çalışmaların sunduğu bu “via media” hem çalışmaların hem birbirinden farklılaşmalarını beraberinde getirmiş hem de inşacılığın tanımlanması ve sınıflandırılmasına yönelik akademik ilginin artmasının önünü açmıştır. Zamanla farklı inşacılıklar birbirine yakınlaşmış, klasik sınıflandırmalar geçerliliğini yitirmiş ve inşacı literatürde durgunluk söz konusu olmuştur. Bunun üzerine, devlet kimliği gibi geleneksel inşacı sorunlardan uzaklaşılarak, inşacılığın ilgi alanlarının yeni sorunlarla zenginleştirilmesine yönelik bir tartışma gündeme gelmiştir. Ancak devlet uluslararası siyasetin hala en önemli öznesidir. Buna bağlı olarak devlet kimliği inşasının sorunsallaştırıldığı bu çalışmada analitik eklektizm çerçevesinde devlet kimliğini sorunsallaştıran inşacı yaklaşımlara yönelik uygulanabilir ve işlevsel bir sınıflandırma modelinin tasarlanması hedeflenmiştir. Bu çalışma pragmatik bir yaklaşım benimseyerek hem teorik esnekliği koruyan hem de pratik işlevselliği ön plana alan uygulanabilir bir sınıflandırma geliştirmeyi amaçlamıştır. Karşılaştırmalı literatür taramasına dayalı nitel bir yöntem kullanılan çalışmada ad hoc veriyle desteklenerek mevcut literatürdeki sınıflandırmalar incelenmiş ve devlet kimliği özelinde özgünleştirilmiş bir sınıflandırma modeli önerilmiştir.

The Inter-subjective Construction of State Identities in International Relations: An Attempt at Classification

Öz

In international relations, constructivism provides a "via media" that calls for a middle ground between rationality and reflectivity. It has paved the way for both differentiation within constructivism and an increased scholarly interest in its definition and classification. Over time, various strands of constructivism have converged, and classical classifications have lost their relevance, which has been followed by stagnation manifested within the constructivist literature. Consequently, not only has a debate emerged regarding the need to move away from traditional constructivist issues such as state identity, but also a growing emphasis on expanding the scope of constructivism to address new and emerging concerns. Nevertheless, the state has remained a central and vital subject in international politics.
By problematizing the construction of state identity, this study seeks to develop a practical and functional classification model for constructivist approaches that problematize state identity within the framework of analytical eclecticism. To this end, adopting a pragmatic approach, this study employs a qualitative methodology based on a comparative literature review and supported by ad hoc data to propose an original and refined classification model tailored explicitly to state identity that addresses the existing gap in the literature, while maintaining theoretical flexibility with a pragmatic focus on practical applicability.
