Abstract

This paper aims to explore the impact of Syrian civil war on the Jordanian foreign policy with a particular emphasis on Jordanian policies addressing Syrian refugees and Jordan’s participation in the coalition against the ISIS Islamic State of Iraq and Syria . The paper argues that, despite Jordan’s initial attempts to remain neutral in the crisis, over time it has succeeded to turn risks and threats into the opportunities for its economy and national security. Jordan’s traditional foreign policy orientation and patterns of foreign policy behaviors enabled it to take strategic steps and relatively benefit from regional crisis. Adopting the discourse in which Jordan is presented as the pivotal state to prevent further destabilization and radicalization in the region, it has been able to enhance its alliances, decrease the level of threats, increase foreign aid/loans, strengthen its army and lastly consolidate the legitimacy of its authoritarian regime

Özet

Bu çalışmada Suriye iç savaşının Ürdün’ün dış politika yapımı üzerindeki etkileri mercek altına alınarak, özellikle Suriyeli sığınmacılar ve Irak Şam İslam Devleti IŞİD terör örgütüne karşın Ürdün’ün nasıl politikalar geliştirdiği incelenecektir. Bu çalışmanın temel argümanı her ne kadar iç savaş başladığında Ürdün tarafsız kalmaya çalışsa da zaman içerisinde stratejik davranarak risk ve tehditleri hem ekonomi hem de ulusal güvenlik açısından fırsata dönüştürüldüğüdür. Ürdün’ün geleneksel dış politikası ve stratejik adımlar atabilme becerisi olası tehditleri fırsata dönüştürmesinde önemli rol oynamıştır. Ürdün, özellikle istikrarsızlığın yayılmasını durdurmak ve bölgedeki radikalleşmeyi önlemek için kritik önemde olduğu argümanıyla tehditlerin etkisini azaltmış, uluslararası dış yardımların ve borç alımlarının miktarlarını arttırmış ordusunu güçlendirmiş, otoriter rejimin meşruiyetini sağlamlaştırmıştır
