Abstract

In the International Relations and in its sub-section Security Strategies area, various theories have been put forward in order to understand the reasons and results of the actions of international actors, and states’ ways of response to the faced international crises have attracted the interest. In fact, one can understand from the phrase of “way of response” that the approaches of the decision makers to a given case. Therefore, “response” shapes up as a result of decision behavior. The effort of any social science research can be summarized as tracing from event to thought and characterizing the approach or rather “way of decision-making” of the political elite. The results appear as “strategic culture”, “use of power”, “way of war”, “security culture” or “foreign policy approach”. The main focus of this work is the debates in national and international academic literature on “strategic culture” which concentrates to the security policy and finally the choices of use of power of the political/strategic/security elites.

Özet

Uluslararası İlişkiler ve onun bir alt dalı sayılabilecek olan Güvenlik Stratejileri alanında, uluslararası aktörlerin eylemlerinin sebeplerini ve sonuçlarını anlayabilmek için pek çok teori geliştirilmiş; ulusların karşılaştıkları uluslararası sorunlara müdahale biçimleri de araştırmacıların ilgi alanlarından birisi olmuştur. Aslında “müdahale biçimleri” tabirinden, karar alıcıların verili bir soruna yaklaşımları anlaşılmaktadır. Dolayısıyla “müdahale” bir karar alma davranışının sonucunda biçimlenir. Herhangi bir sosyal bilim araştırmasının bu alandaki çabası ise olgudan düşünceye doğru iz sürmek ve bu sayede siyasi elitin yaklaşım biçimini, tam manasıyla “karar alma biçimini” karakterize etmek şeklinde özetlenebilir. Sonuçların ise “stratejik kültür”, “güç kullanımı tarzı”, “savaş tarzı”, “güvenlik kültürü”, “dış politika yaklaşımı” gibi şekillerde adlandırıldığı görülür. Bu çalışmanın odağını ise, siyasi/stratejik/güvenlik karar alıcı elitinin güvenlik siyasasına ve nihayet bu siyasasının gerçekleştirilmesindeki güç kullanım tercihlerine odaklanan “stratejik kültür” kavramıyla ilgili olarak uluslararası ve ulusal akademik literatürde yer alan tartışmalar oluşturmaktadır.
