Abstract

In the first part of the article, dehumanizing character of Western-centric approaches is discussed by focusing on the relations between the emergence period of geopolitics and the Central Asia. Beginning from Mackinder, the Western "subject" is described as based on a highly vivid design of identity; on the other hand, the societies living in the studied region are transformed into shadows under the decisiveness of geography. In the second part of the article, the factors which has forced this false image to change is showed by making references to cultural/historiographic debates on Turkestan. Also, an alternative approach to geopolitics which underlines the region s rich historical and cultural heritage is offered through the analysis of Orkhon Inscriptions.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın ilk bölümünde Batı-merkezli yaklaşımların insanisizleştirici karakteri, jeopolitiğin ortaya çıkışı ile Orta Asya arasındaki ilişkilere odaklanarak tartışılmaktadır. Batı öznesi, Mackinderden başlayarak son derece canlı bir kimlik tasarımına dayalı olarak tanımlanmakta; öte yandan çalışmaya konu olan bölgede yaşayan toplumlar coğrafyanın belirleyiciliği altında birer gölgeye dö- nüştürülmektedir. Çalışmanın ikinci bölümünde bu yanlış resmi değişime zorlayan faktörler, Türkistan üzerine kültürel/tarihsel tartışmalara referanslar yaparak gösterilmektedir. Ayrıca bölgenin zengin tarihsel ve kültürel mirasına vurgu yapan jeopolitiğe, Orhun Âbidelerinin analizi vasıtasıyla alternatif bir yaklaşım sunulmaktadır..
