ABD'NİN ALMANYA POLİTİKASI VE YAPISAL BELİRLEYENLER: SAVAŞ SONRASI GÜÇ ASİMETRİSİ VE HEGEMONİK DÜZEN İNŞASI

ABD'nin Almanya sorununa ilişkin politikası, Alman sanayisinin yok edilmesini öngören Morgenthau Planı'ndan, onu Avrupa'nın yeniden inşasının çekirdeği olarak öngören Schuman Planı yönünde radikal bir değişim göstermiştir. Almanya'nın sanayisizleştirilmesi düşüncenin savunucusu Başkan Roosevelt'in ani ölümü esas alındığında ilk bakışta, Amerikan Hükümetinde meydana gelen lider değişikliğin politika değişikliğini belirlediği düşünülebilecektir. Öte yandan görece kısa sürede ortaya çıkan bu radikal politika değişikliği sadece lider değişikliği ile açıklanamayacak bir derinlikte siyasal kaymayı işaret etmektedir. Makale, uluslararası olguların nedenlerinin hükümetlerin davranışlarına indirgenmeden açıklanması gerektiği varsayımından hareketle, Almanya Sorunu ile ilgili yaşanan politika değişikliğinin yapısal nedenlerini ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir. Makalede iki kutupluluğun bir sonucu olarak ABD ve Sovyetler'in yeni karşılıklı konumlanması ve daha da önemlisi bu konumlanmanın etkisi altında Batı Avrupa'da hegemonik bir liberal düzen inşa süreci yapısal belirleyenler olarak incelenecektir.

US German Policy and Structural Determinants: Postwar Power Asymmetry and the Construction of Hegemonic Order

US policy regarding the German question, witnessed a radical change from the Morganthau Plan that envisaged the destruction of German heavy industry into the Schuman Plan that made the latter the core of European reconstruction. If we focus on the sudden death of the president Roosevelt, it appears that the change in US leadership has defined the change in US policy. Yet this radical change in policy indicates a political shift characterized by a depth that cannot be explained only by a change in leadership. This article, based on the assumption that international affairs must be explained without reducing them to the behaviors of governments, aims to reveal the structural causes behind the US policy change towards the German problem. The emerging mutual positioning of US and Soviet power as a result of bipolarity and more importantly the construction of a liberal hegemonic order in Western Europe under the influence of this positioning are argued to have defined the structural conditions.
