Abstract

Based on primary sources this article explores the role of METU and Robert College Engineering Faculty in the Turkish‐American relations after Turkey’s joining to the NATO. There has been a growing cooperation in technical and military spheres between the two countries after 1952. The US government considered Turkey’s development a necessity for its regional and global interest. The US aid to Turkey during this period was not confined to the military equipment and financial packages. Through local institutions, Robert College and METU, technical know‐how was provided. These investments were needed for military and industrial projects to proceed and the TurkishAmerican relations gained a strong institutional character.

Özet

Birincil kaynaklarına dayanan bu makale Türkiye’nin NATO’ya üyeliği sonrasında yeni bir aşamaya geçen Türkiye Amerika ilişkilerinde ODTÜ ve Robert Koleji Mühendislik Fakültesi’nin rollerini inceler. 1952 sonra iki ülke arasındaki yakınlaşma yüksek yoğunluklu teknik ve askeri iş birliğini beraberinde getirdi. Amerikan yönetimi Türkiye’nin gelişimini kendi bölgesel ve global çıkarları için gerekli görmekteydi. Bu süreçte Türkiye’ye yapılan yatırımlar sadece askeri ve mali yardımlar ile sınırlı kalmadı. Yerel unsurlara dayanan iki kurum olan Robert Koleji ve ODTÜ aracılığı ile ciddi bir teknik bilgi ve altyapı desteği sağlandı. Askeri ve sanayi projelerin sürdürülebilmesi için gerekli olan bu stratejik yatırımlar neticesinde Türkiye‐Amerika arasındaki iş birliği zamanla siyaset ötesi bir hüviyet kazandı.
