Abstract

This study refers to the importance of the neoclassical realist approach in international political economy studies. The domestic structures of the states will be emphasized in order to understand the reasons for the varieties of capitalist models and hybrid economic systems that emerged after the Cold War. In this sense, the article argues that neoclassical realism could be useful to understand the regional differences in international political economy, despite the critics. Accordingly, the dominant view of the international system, which is liberalism, is the independent variable and the domestic variables of states are the intervening variables. The outcomes that are the hybrid systems are the dependent variable. The theoretical part of the study will examine these variables in detail. The Eurasian Economic Union will be taken in the last section of the work as the case study to test the validity of the model.

Özet

Bu çalışma uluslararası ekonomi politik çalışmalarında neoklasik yaklaşımın önemine değinmektedir. Çalışmada farklı kapitalist modellerin ve özellikle Soğuk Savaş sonrasında ortaya çıkan hibrit ekonomik sistemlerin sebebini anlamak için devletlerin iç yapılarının önemli olduğuna vurgu yapılacaktır. Buna göre uluslararası sistemin hâkim anlayışı olan liberalizm bağımsız değişken, devletlerin iç yapıları da ara değişkendir. Ortaya çıkan hibrit sistemler de bağımlı değişkendir. Modelin geçerliliğini göstermek için Avrasya Ekonomi Topluluğu vaka çalışması olarak ele alınacaktır.
