ABD’yi Strateji Belgeleri Üzerinden Okumak: Hegemonik Güvenlik Anlayışının Değişimi Üzerine Bir Analiz

ABD’nin hegemonik güvenlik anlayışının temellerini İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nın bittiği günlerde aramak mümkündür. Aslında bu durumun tüm dünyada ama özellikle ABD’nin “müttefikleri” olarak sınıflandırılan ülkelerde bir kanıksama algısı yarattığı da yadsınamaz. Bu algının oluşumunda ABD’nin uygulamalarının yanında, ABD Başkanları’nın söylemlerinin ve Sovyet dönemi dayatmacı politikalarının değişik oranlarda da olsa payları bulunmaktadır. Bugün katılmayanların sayısı artmış da olsa, ABD askerî gücü diğer devletlerinkinden üstündür ve bu gücün teknolojik yansımaları halen özenilen olmaya devam etmektedir. Bu makalede hegemonik güvenlik anlayışındaki değişim, konuyla ilişkili kavramlardan da yararlanılarak, tarihsel analiz ve içerik analizini kapsayan bir yöntem kombinasyonu çerçevesinde incelenmiştir.

Reading the USA through Strategy Documents: An Analysis on the Change of Hegemonic Security Understanding

It is possible to look for the foundations of the USA’s hegemonic security understanding in the days when the Second World War ended. In fact, it is undeniable that this situation creates a perception of confusion all over the world, but especially in countries classified as “allies” of the USA. In the formation of this perception, in addition to the practices of the USA, the discourses of the US Presidents and the imposing policies of the Soviet period have a share, albeit at different rates. Although the number of opponents has increased today, the US military power is superior to that of other states, and the technological repercussions of this power still continue to be envied. This article examines the change in the understanding of hegemonic security within the framework of a combination of the research methods, which consists of historical and content analysis, using the concepts related to the subject.
