Kuzey Kore’nin Rejim Güvenliğinde Nükleer Silahların Rolü Üstüne

Kuzey Kore, öncelikli amacı rejim güvenliğini sağlamak olan nükleer silahlara sahip bir devlettir. Nükleer silahlara rejim güvenliğinin destekleyici bir unsuru olarak önem veren Kuzey Kore, 2006 yılında ilk nükleer denemesini gerçekleştirmeden önce de rejim güvenliğini sağlayabilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Kuzey Kore’nin rejim güvenliğini sağlayan unsurlar, ideolojik siyasi kültürünün temeli olan Juche ve askerî politikası olan Songun kavramları üzerinden açıklanmaktadır. Çalışma, Kuzey Kore’nin rejim güvenliğinin sağlanmasında nükleer kapasitenin asli değil tali bir unsur olduğunu iddia etmektedir. Kuzey Kore’nin nükleer silahlara sahip olmadan önce de rejim güvenliğini sağlamış olması, nükleer kapasitesi olmadan da rejimin varlığını sürdürebileceğinin en önemli göstergesidir. Bununla beraber, Kuzey Kore siyasi ve ideolojik sistemi göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, nükleer silahların rejim güvenliğinde büyük önem taşıyan, tamamlayıcı ve destekleyici bir konuma sahip olduğu görülmektedir.

On the Role of Nuclear Weapons in North Korea’s Regime Security

North Korea is a nuclear weapon possessor state whose priority goal is regime security. As a state giving importance to nuclear weapons as a supportive element of regime security, North Korea was able to provide regime security before conducting its first nuclear test in 2006. In this study, the elements that ensure the regime security of North Korea are explained through the concepts of Juche, which is the basis of its ideological political culture, and Songun, which is its military policy. The study argues that nuclear capacity is not the key element to ensure North Korea’s regime security yet the secondary element. The most important indicator that the regime can survive without its nuclear capacity is the fact that North Korea has ensured regime security before it has nuclear weapons. Nevertheless, considering the political and ideological system of North Korea, it is seen that nuclear weapons have a great important, complementary and supportive position in regime security.
