Özet

Bu makale, devlet yönetimi (statecraft) ve dış politika davranışına ilişkin kapsamlı bir analitik çerçeve geliştirerek Dış Politika Analizi (DPA), Uluslararası İlişkiler (Uİ) ve Türk Dış Politikası (TDP) literatürlerine katkı sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma; Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AK Parti) iktidarı dönemindeki Türkiye örneğinden hareketle, dış politika bağlamında yaygın biçimde kullanılan çeşitli devlet tipolojilerinin — ticaret devleti (trading state), illiberal devlet (illiberal state), Makyavelist devlet (Machiavellian state), garnizon devlet (garrison state), kalkınmacı devlet (developmental state), medeniyet devleti (civilizational state), orta güç (middle power) ve benzeri yaklaşımların — analiz kapasitesini değerlendirmektedir. Makale, çağdaş Türkiye’yi söz konusu tipolojik çerçeve içerisinde konumlandırarak küresel güç dengesi, iç siyasal dinamikler (örneğin parti ideolojisi) ve ekonomik stratejilerin Türkiye’nin dış ilişkilerini nasıl şekillendirdiğini analiz etmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra çalışma, bu tipolojilerin dünyanın farklı bölgelerindeki devletlerin dış politika yapım süreçlerinin anlaşılmasına ne ölçüde katkı sağlayabileceğini de tartışmaktadır. Bu tipolojik analiz aracılığıyla makale, devlet davranışının niteliğine ilişkin yeni açılımlar sunmayı ve Dış Politika Analizi ile Uluslararası İlişkiler alanlarında çalışan araştırmacılar için çok yönlü bir analitik araç geliştirmeyi hedeflemektedir. Son olarak çalışma, önerilen çerçevenin farklı ülke örneklerine uygulanmasına zemin hazırlamayı ve 21. yüzyılın değişen uluslararası dinamikleri karşısında dönüşen dış politika yönelimlerinin açıklanmasına katkı sağlayacak gelecekteki araştırmalar için bir temel oluşturmayı amaçlamaktadır.

Abstract

This article aims to contribute to the literatures on Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA), International Relations (IR), and Turkish Foreign Policy (TFP) by putting forward a comprehensive understanding of statecraft and foreign policy behaviour. Using the case of Turkey under the rule of the AKP (Justice and Development Party), the study evaluates the applicability of various commonly used state typologies—including the “trading state”, “illiberal state”, “Machiavellian state”, “garrison state”, “developmental state”, “civilizational state”, “middle power” and several others—within the context of Turkish foreign policy. By situating contemporary Turkey within this framework, the article offers an analysis of how global balance of power, internal political dynamics (e.g. party ideology) and economic strategies shape Turkey’s foreign relations. In addition, the study explores the broader relevance of these typologies for understanding the foreign policy-making processes of other countries across the globe. Through this typological analysis, the article seeks to provide a versatile tool for scholars and practitioners in FPA and IR, offering insights into the nature of state behaviour. This work seeks to lay the foundation for further research that could apply this framework to a global range of case studies and help explain shifting foreign policies in a time of changing dynamics in the early 21st century.
