İngiliz Dış Politikasında Rusya-Ukrayna Savaşı: Putin Hükümetinin Güvenlikleştirilmesi

Bu makalede Birleşik Krallık’ın Putin rejimini güvenlikleştirdiği argümanı ileri sürülmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı Birleşik Krallık’ın Rusya’nın Ukrayna’yı işgaline karşı nasıl bir dış politika izlediğini güvenlikleştirme teorisi üzerinden analiz etmektir. İşgalin ardından Birleşik Krallık nasıl bir dış politika uygulamıştır? Başbakan Boris Johnson’ın açıklamaları, başbakanlık ofisinin resmi açıklamaları, Birleşik Krallık Parlamentosu’ndaki Avam Kamarası ve Lordlar Kamarası’nın görüşme kayıtları ve İngiliz gazeteleri analiz edilmektedir. Liz Truss ve Rishi Sunak dönemlerindeki dış politika analiz edilmektedir. YouGov kuruluşunun yaptığı anketlerden yararlanılmıştır. Yapılan analizin sonucunda Putin rejiminin Avrupa ülkelerinin güvenliği için varoluşsal bir tehdit olarak algılandığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Rusya’ya karşı olağanüstü önlemler alınması gerektiğine karar verilmiştir. YouGov anketlerine göre, Britanyalıların yüzde 64’ü Rusya’yı Avrupa ülkeleri ve Britanya için tehdit olarak görmektedir.

The Russia-Ukraine War in English Foreign Policy: Securitization of the Putin Government

This article argues that the UK securitized the Putin regime. The aim of the study is to analyse foreign policy of the United Kingdom against Russia's occupation of Ukraine through securitization theory. What kind of foreign policy did the United Kingdom implement after the occupation? Statements of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, official statements of prime minister's office, meeting records of the House of Commons and the House of Lords in the UK Parliament, and British newspapers are analysed. The foreign policy during periods of Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak is analysed. Surveys made by YouGov are used. As a result of analysis, it is concluded that Putin regime is perceived as an existential threat to security of European countries. It is decided that extraordinary measures should be taken against Russia. According to the surveys of YouGov, 64 percent of Britons see Russia as a threat to European countries and Britain.
