Today, the concept of national security is expanding and deepening in terms of its framework and dimensions, and threat perceptions evolve and take on an asymmetric and uncertain nature. In this context, it can be stated that conceptualizations related to national security become more complex with its interdisciplinary, pluralistic, and multidimensional structure. Thus, today's national security issues require a multidimensional and holistic understanding that balances military and non-military methods, considers cyber and asymmetric threats, and envisages comprehensive approaches. Therefore, this article presents a holistic approach to security conceptualizations that should be considered in the context of a rational and real-political foreign policy. In this study, the mainstream approaches related to national security within the discipline of international relations are discussed, and in this context, an examination of the aforementioned schools to national security within the international relations discipline are elaborated and summarized as of the cold war era and after. In this context, an analytical study is presented about the factors and components affecting national security issues, considering both current and future security paradigms, and national security issues are explained through different aspects of national security.

Öz

Günümüzde ulusal güvenlik kavramı çerçeve ve boyut olarak genişlemekte, derinleşmekte ve tehdit algıları ise evrimleşerek asimetrik ve belirsiz bir hüviyete bürünmektedir. Bu kapsamda ulusal güvenlikle alakalı kavramlaştırmaların, disiplinler arası, çoğulcu ve çok boyutlu yapısıyla daha da karmaşıklaştığı ifade edilebilir. Böylece günümüzde ulusal güvenlikle ilgili hususlar, askeri ve askeri olmayan yöntemler arasında denge kuran, siber ve asimetrik tehditleri dikkate alan ve kapsamlı yaklaşımlar öngören çok boyutlu ve bütüncül bir anlayışı gerekli kılmaktadır. Bu nedenle bu makalede, rasyonel ve reelpolitik bir dış politika bağlamında dikkate alınması gereken güvenlik kavramlaştırmaları ile ilgili bütünsel bir yaklaşım ortaya koyulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada uluslararası ilişkiler disiplini içinde genel olarak ulusal güvenlikle alakalı ana akım yaklaşımlar ele alınmakta, bu kapsamda mezkur ekollerin güvenlikle ilgili disiplin içi farklılıklarının bir incelemesi soğuk savaş ve sonrası itibariyle ortaya koyulmakta ve özetlenmektedir. Bu bağlamda, ulusal güvenlik konularını etkileyen faktörler ve bileşenler hakkında hem güncel, hem de gelecekteki güvenlik paradigmaları dikkate alınarak analitik bir çalışma sunulmakta ve ulusal güvenlikle ilgili hususlar ulusal güvenliğe dair farklı yaklaşımlar üzerinden açıklanmaktadır.
