Soğuk Savaş Sonrası Dünyada BM Tarafından Yetkilendirilmiş İnsani Müdahaleler Üzerine Neo-Realist Bir Örnek Olay İncelemesi

Uluslararası ilişkilerdeki neo-realist teorinin önerdiği üzere, uluslararası politik sistem anarşik bir görünüm arz eder. Diğer bir değişle, egemen eşitler arasında üst bir otorite olmadığı için, devletler genel olarak kendi kendine yetme motivasyonu ile hareket ederek, kendi çıkarlarını maksimize etmeye çalışırlar. 21. yüzyılda insan haklarına verilen önemin artmasıyla beraber, uluslararası sistemde Westfalyan anlayış yerini, devletlerin insan hakları ihlalleri söz konusu olduğunda birbirlerinin içişlerine müdahale ettiği bir anlayışa bırakmıştır. Bu müdahalenin en uç uygulaması ise insani müdahaledir. Ancak, Soğuk Savaş sonrası insani müdahale uygulamaları incelendiğinde, devletlerin savaşa girmeleri için yalnızca özgecil motivasyonların tek başına yeterli olmadığı, bununla beraber kendi çıkarlarını önceleyebildikleri, dolayısıyla neo-realist teorinin hala geçerliliğini koruduğu görülür.

A Neo-Realist Case Study of U.N.-Authorized Humanitarian Interventions in The Post-Cold War World

As the Neo-realist theory in international relations suggests, international political system presents an anarchic environment. In other words, since there is no formally recognized supreme authority among equally sovereign units, states generally act in “self-help” to maximize their national interests. However, due to ever-increasing importance of human rights issues in the 21st century, the Westphalian understanding of state sovereignty in international affairs has gradually eroded and turned into a new one in which states intervene in each other’s domestic jurisdictions especially regarding human rights issues. The extremist practice of this intervention is humanitarian interventions. However, when the practice of humanitarian intervention after the Cold War is examined, it is seen that not only altruistic motives were effective for states, but they also aimed at maximizing their self-interest and that the main concept of the neo-realist theory is still valid.
