Abstract

This article searches on the influences that religious identity, in particular Evangelism has on American national identity and foreign policy. To examine the main hypothesis that asserts Evangelical norms and narratives are constitutive and determinants of American inter-national identity and politics, it focuses on analyzing special relationship of the US-Israel from a social-constructivist approach. In accordance with this purpose, first of all it sheds a light on the origins of Evangelism and its world view. Secondly, it observes the role of this belief and its values in construction of American national identity and its effects on foreign policy. Lastly, it find outs the priviledged place of Jewish people and Jewish State in American politics by looking at the world view and norms of American Evangelists who have power in White House. By doing so, it reveals that religious values, norms and narratives have been effective in the special relations between the US and Israil since the foundation time of Israel state.

Özet

Bu makale, dini kimliğin, özellikle Evanjelizmin Amerikan ulusal kimliği ve dış politikası üzerine etkilerini araştırmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, Evanjelizmin norm ve anlatılarının Amerika’nın uluslararası kimliğinin ve politikalarının oluşturucusu ve belirleyicisi olduğu hipotezini sınamak için, sosyal-inşacı perspektiften ABD-İsrail arasındaki özel ilişkiyi analiz etmeye odaklanmaktadır. Bu amaçla için öncelikle, Evanjelizmin kökenlerine ve dünya görüşüne açıklık getirilmektedir. İkinci olarak bu inancın ve değerlerinin Amerikan ulusal kimliğinin inşasındaki rolü ve dış politikaya etkisi incelenmektedir. Son olarak, Beyaz Saray’da güçlü olan Amerikan Evanjelistlerinin dünya görüşü ve normlarına bakılarak Amerikan politikasında Yahudi halkı ve Yahudi devletinin ayrıcalıklı yeri saptanmaktadır. Böylelikle, İsrail devletinin kuruluşundan itibaren süren ABD ve İsrail arasındaki özel ilişkide dini değerlerin, normların ve anlatıların etkili olduğu ortaya konulmaktadır.
