Avustralya’nın Asya-Pasifik’te Tehdit Algısı: Sarı Tehlike (1850-1914)

Büyük Britanya tarafından Anglo-Sakson-Kelt göçmenlerin Avustralya Kıtası’na 1788’de iskân edilmesiyle Avustralya kolonisi meydana gelmiştir. Avustralya’da 1850’lerde altın madeninin bulunması ada/kıtanın ekonomik, toplumsal ve politik dinamiklerini geri döndürülemez biçimde değiştirmiştir. Avustralya’da Altına Hücum dönemi olarak isimlendirilen süreçte, Çinli göçmenlerin Avustralya’ya iş bulmak amacıyla akın etmesi ve Japonya’nın bu süreçte ekonomik ve askerî olarak modernleşmesini tamamlaması, Avustralya’nın Asya-Pasifik’te dış politikasını belirlemiştir. Asya-Pasifik’te Japonya’nın bir güç olarak ortaya çıkması ve Asyalı toplumlar tarafından Avustralya’nın istila edileceği temel argümanı çevresinde biçimlenen tehdit algısı, Avustralya’da Sarı Tehlike olarak isimlendirilmiştir. Bu çalışma da Avustralya’nın 1850’den 1914’e kadar Asya-Pasifik, özelde Asya üzerine dış politikası incelenmiştir.

Australia’s Perception of Threat in Asia-Pacific: The Yellow Peril (1850-1914)

With the settlement of Anglo-Saxon-Celtic immigrants in Australia in 1788 by Great Britain, the Australia Colony was formed. The discovery of gold mine in Australia in 1850s had irreversibly changed the economic, social and political dynamics of the island/continent. During the process named as the Gold Rush, the influx of Chinese immigrants to Australia to find job and Japan’s completion of economic and military modernization determined Australia’s foreign policy in Asia-Pacific. The threat perception shaped around the basic argument that Japan would emerge as a power in Asia-Pacific and that Australia would be invaded by Asian societies, which had been named as the Yellow Peril. In this study, Australia’s foreign policy from 1850 to 1914 on Asia-Pacific, in particular Asia, is examined.
