Hegemonic (in)stability theory and us foreign policy: the legacy of the neocons in the middle east

Orta Doğu daima çatışmaların hüküm sürdüğü bir bölge olarak tanımlanmıştır. Akademide yaygın olan inanç genellikle Orta Doğu’nun, demokratik değerlerin kök salamayacağı, çağdışı geleneklere sahip bir böl- ge olduğudur. Bu makale, Orta Doğu’da hakim olan karışıklıktan, çoğunlukla Amerikan hegemonyasının sorumlu olduğunu savunarak, konuya teorik bir pers- pektiften–Hegemonik İstikrar Teorisi- bakmakta ve tek bir hegemonun düzen ve istikrarın garantisi olmadığı görüşünü ileri sürmektedir.

Hegemonik istikrar(sızlık) teorisi ve Amerikan dış politikası: Orta Doğu’da yeni-muhafazakarların mirası

The Middle East has always been characterized as a conflict-ridden region. The common belief in the acade- mia is that the Middle East is a region with backward traditions in which democratic values cannot take ro- ots. This paper argues that it is the US hegemony that is responsible for much of the turmoil in the region and looks at the issue from more theoretical perspective-na- mely Hegemonic Stability Theory- and maintains that the existence of a hegemon does not always guarantee order and stability.
