Abstract

This study seeks to analyze the rise and fall of American conservative right with the implications of each for the US foreign policy within the last 50 years and especially during the 2000s. Its central assumptions are as follows: Firstly, the American right is still a powerful force, with a potential to revitalize a third and Tea Party-led rise of the movement, in shaping the domestic and inter- national agendas. Secondly, Obama’s and Democrats’ strategy after their defeat in the 2010 mid-term Congressional elections is also conclusive at both domestic and global levels. In the field of foreign policy, it is arguable that Obama has failed to pursue his own liberal-Democrat agenda so far and instead maintained Bush-style policies in one way or another. For the Obama administration, how- ever, a rational strategy will likely to be to fulfil its commitment to ‘change’ and ‘renewal’ effectively by adopting a soft power-based practice in foreign affairs if it wishes to halt a conservative resurgence

Özet

Bu çalışma, Amerikan sağının genel olarak geçen 50 yılda ve özellikle de son on yılda siyaset sahnesindeki iniş çıkışlarının dış politikaya yansıma- larını analiz etme amacındadır. Çalışmanın temel savları şöyledir: Birin- cisi, sağın, Amerikan siyasetinde halen muhalefette olsa da, üçüncü kez ve Çay Partisi hareketi öncülüğünde bir yeniden dirilişe öncülük edecek şe- kilde, etkili bir güç olarak varlığını ve gündem belirleme yeteneğini sür- dürdüğüdür. İkincisi, sağın bugünkü gerginlik ve kutuplaşmaya dayalı stratejisi karşısında, Obama’nın ve Demokratların izleyeceği stratejinin ve 2010 Kongre ara seçimlerinde alınan yenilgi sonrasındaki yeni uzlaşmacı yol haritasının da aynı ölçüde iç ve dış politikada belirleyici olduğudur. Dış politikada ise Obama’nın zaten kendi liberal-Demokrat gündemini henüz tam olarak hayata geçiremediği ve Bush politikalarını halen uygu- lamada büyük ölçüde devam ettirdiği ileri sürülmektedir. Ancak, Obama yönetimi için bu noktada yeni bir sağcı dirilişin önünü kesebilecek olan strateji, seçilirken verdiği değişim ve yenilenme sözlerini gerçek anlamda hayata geçirip liberal ve yumuşak güce dayalı bir dış politikaya dönüş olabilir.
