Abstract

German strategic culture has dominant, militarist, authoritarian and expansionist characteristics, as well as being to open to the critical thinking, compromising and developments. This strategic culture, which has caused many wars throughout history, has been suppressed and controlled by the victorious states after the Second World War. However, after getting full sovereignty under the geopolitical conditions of the Cold War time, German strategic culture evolved from German pacifism which is called as the “civilian power” (Zivilmacht) into world politics (Weltpolitik). Yet, Germany, to prove its commitment to ‘civilian power’ politics, has grounded its world politics on "planetary responsibility ethic" (Planetarischer verantwortungsethik). At the same time, under the postmodern conditions, Germany trie to be more active on international politics by developing a foreign policy concept that is called as "the Leading from Center" (Führung aus der mitte). Therefore, it is possible to pronounce that Germany's strategic culture has preserved its characteristics of being a power in every circumstance in the history and that they have got an important actor of the international system accordingly.

Özet

Alman stratejik kültürü tarihsel olarak baskın, militarist, otoriter ve yayılmacı nitelik taşımakla birlikte aynı zamanda eleştirel düşünceye sahip, uzlaşmaya ve gelişime açık karaktere sahiptir. Tarih boyunca pek çok savaşa neden olan bu stratejik kültür İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nın ardından galip devletlerce baskılanarak kontrol altına alınmıştır. Fakat Soğuk Savaş’ın jeopolitik koşulları altında tam egemenliğini yeniden elde eden Almanya’nın stratejik kültürü “sivil güç” (Zivilmacht) olarak ifade edilen sağduyulu pasifizmden yeniden bir dünya politikasına (Weltpolitik) doğru evrilmiştir. Fakat Almanya “sivil güç” politikasına olan bağlılığını ispatlamak için “Dünya Politikasını” “gezegensel bir sorumluluk ahlakına” dayandırmaktadır. Postmodern dönemin koşulları altında Almanya dış politikada “Merkezden Liderlik Etme” (Führung aus der Mitte) konseptini geliştirerek uluslararası politikada daha fazla söz sahibi olmaya çalışmaktadır. Dolayısıyla tarihsel süreç içinde Almanya’nın stratejik kültürünün her koşulda güç olma arzu ve özelliğini koruduğunu ve bu doğrultuda Almanya’nın yeniden uluslararası sistemin önemli bir aktörü olduğunu söyleyebiliriz.
