Özet

21. yüzyıldaki uluslararası sistemin dinamikleri Türkiye’ye daha fazla manevra imkanı sunmuştur. Yükselen bir küresel aktör olarak Türkiye'nin insani diplomasi kullanımında, yumuşak güç kapasitesine de katkıda bulunan gözle görülür bir artış olmuştur. Bu makale, son yirmi yılda Türkiye’nin dış politikasında artan insaniyetçiliğin temel özelliklerini ve uygulama alanlarını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Makale, yumuşak gücün bir aracına odaklanarak, onun önemini vurgulamaya çalışmaktadır. İnsani yardım ve kalkınma yardımları, Suriyeli mültecilere destek, barışın inşası ve arabuluculuk çabaları Türkiye’nin insani dış politikasının uygulama alanları olarak incelenmektedir.

Abstract

The dynamics of the 21st century’s international system have offered Türkiye greater opportunity for maneuver. There has been a noticeable increase in the use of humanitarian diplomacy by Türkiye as an emerging global actor which also contributes to its soft power capacity. This article seeks to examine the key characteristics and implementation areas of growing humanitarianism in Türkiye’s foreign policy over the last two decades. By focusing on one instrument of soft power, the article attempts to highlight its significance. Humanitarian aid and development assistance, support for Syrian refugees, peace-building and mediation efforts are examined as implementation areas in Türkiye’s humanitarian foreign policy.
