Producing knowledge of the middle east in the middle east

Bu makale, Orta Doğu hakkında gerçekçi bir anlamlandırma ve analiz için yeni uluslararası ilişkiler teorilerine ihtiyaç olduğu vurgusunu merkeze almaktadır. Orta Doğu’nun çoğunlukla hızlı ve sürekli değişimlerin yaşandığı ve istikrarsızlığın hakim olduğu bir coğrafya olarak tanımlandığına şahit olunmaktadır. Bu makalede, bugünün hızlı değişimler dünyasını anlamak ve anlamlandırmak için mevcut uluslararası ilişkiler teorilerinin kapasitesinin ötesinde, teoriler kurmak gerektirdiğine işaret edilmektedir. Hadise zengini dinamik Orta Doğu coğrafyasının gerçekçi bir fotoğrafının sunulmasında, şüphesiz asıl katkıyı bölge kaynaklı (yerel) teoriler sağlayacaktır. Bölge kaynaklı (yerel) teorilerin geliştirilmesi, Orta Doğu’lu akademisyen ve aydınları bekleyen bir görevdir. Bu makale, Orta Doğu’nun teori inşa etme yönüyle mevcut performansının kısa bir tahlili ile nihayete ermektedir.

Orta doğu bilgisinin orta doğu'da üretilmesi

his article’s departure point is the need for new theories of International Relations to analyze and elaborate a new picture of the Middle East. The Middle East has often been regarded as a region characterized by rapid and continuous change and instability, and accordingly defined as a laboratory of events. Therefore, it is a task of the intellectuals and academicians of the Middle East to produce some indigenous (local) theories which will contribute to casting and understanding a new picture of the Middle East. This article also stresses the need for new theories of International Relations in order to better grasp ever-changing world affairs. The article concludes with a brief analysis of the present performance of the Middle East regarding theory generation.
