While most observers agree that the Middle East constitutes a distinct regional system with its own dynamics, there remain important debates about the nature of the system, the most important drivers of outcomes within it and the extent of its distinctiveness among regional systems. This article reviews four important book on the topic from the 1980’s and 1990’s, with a new introduction offering a brief survey of works on the Middle East system published in the 2000’s. Among the themes treated in all the works are the importance of transnational identities in complicating the region’s international politics and the centrality of domestic state building as a systemic factor in understanding international outcomes of war, peace and alliance formation

Ortadoğu Uluslararası İlişkileri’ne Sistemik Yaklaşımlar – 10 Yıl Sonra

Öz

Pek çok gözlemci Ortadoğu’nun kendine has dinamikleriyle özgün bir bölgesel sistem oluşturduğu konusunda hemfikirken, sistemin doğası, bölgenin içinde ortaya çıkan olayların en önemli itici güçleri ve bu bölgenin diğer bölgesel sistemlerden farklılığının boyutu hakkında önemli tartışmalar aynen durmaktadır. Bu makale, 2000’lerde Ortadoğu sistemi üzerine yayınlanmış eserlerin kısa bir incelemesini sunan yeni bir giriş kısmı ile birlikte 1980 ve 1990’larda bu konuda yayınlanmış dört önemli kitabın eleştirisini yapmaktadır. Bütün bu eserlerde ele alınan temalar içinde bölgenin uluslar arası politikasını karmaşıklaştıran ulus-ötesi kimliklerin önemi ve savaş, barış ve ittifak oluşumlarının uluslararası sonuçlarını anlamada sistemik bir faktör olarak devlet inşasının merkezi yeri bulunmaktadır.
