Ukrayna’nın Turuncu Devrimi ve Amerikan Dış Politikası

2004 yılında Ukrayna’da gerçekleşen başkanlık seçimlerinin ardından geniş halk kitlelerinin sokaklara çıktığı Turuncu Devrim olarak bilinen süreç yaşanmıştır. Söz konusu sokak gösterilerinin şiddet içermediği, adil seçimler talep ettiği ve iktidarın Leodind Kuchma’dan Viktor Yushchenko’ya devredilmesine yönelik gerçekleştiği görülmektedir. Turuncu Devrim’in öncesinde yer alan gelişmeler ve gösteriler, uluslararası ilginin odağı haline gelmiş ve demokrasi yönünde eğilim gösteren bir milletin tezahürü olmuştur. Bu çalışma Turuncu Devrimi ele almakta ve konuya ilişkin ABD’nin politikalarını değerlendirmektedir.
