ELEŞTİREL JEOPOLİTİĞİN BİR BOYUTU OLARAK FEMİNİZM JEOPOLİTİK

Frederich Ratzel, Haushofer, Mackinder ve Mahan ve Spykman'ın teorilerinden Cohen ve Lacoste teorilerine ve nihayet eleştirel ve postmodern jeopolitikaya kadar geleneksel jeopolitik, dünya görüş ve düşüncelerine dayalı olarak kendi yorumlarına ve amaçlarına sahiptir. Eleştirel bir söylem olarak feminist jeopolitik; feminizmle birlikte 1960'larda ortaya çıkan, ilerici siyasi hareketlerle süregelen bir dizi ayrıcalıklı ilişkiye sahiptir. Feminizm, jeopolitiği eleştirel jeopolitik üzerine inşa ederken, baskın jeopolitik metinlerdeki boşlukları belirleyerek siyasi fırsatları yeniden inşa eder. Mekân ve siyaset arasındaki bağlantıları kuramlaştırmak ve uygulamak için yeni yollar sunduğu vurgulanmalıdır. Bu yollardan biri de bilginin üretilme biçimlerini ve bilişten türetilen epistemolojik yöntemleri, yeniden biçimlendirmeyi amaçlar. Bu makale; tanımlayıcıanalitik yaklaşım ve kütüphaneinternet kaynakları kullanarak önce jeopolitiğin tanımıyla eleştirel jeopolitiğin ortaya çıkması değerlendirilecek ve ardından feminist jeopolitiğin yerini, eleştirel jeopolitikte tartışmaya açıp analiz edilecektir.

FEMINIST GEOPOLITICS AS A DIMENSION OF CRITICAL GEOPOLITICS

Traditional geopolitics from the theories of Frederich Ratzel, Haushofer, Mackinder and Mahan and Spykman to the theories of Cohen and Lacoste, and finally to critical and postmodern geopolitics have their own interpretations and goals based on world views and opinions. Feminism as a critical discourse of geopolitics has a continuing series of privileged relationships with progressive political movements that emerged in the 1960s. Feminist geopolitics while constructing on critical geopolitics, it reconstructs political opportunities by identifying gaps in dominant geopolitical texts. It should be highlighted that it provides new ways to theorize and apply the connections between space and politics. It is to reform the ways in which knowledge is produced and the epistemological methods derived from cognition. By use of descriptiveanalytical approach and libraryinternet resources, the study focuses on the emergence of critical geopolitics. After that the definition of geopolitics, and then feminism will be discussed and analyzed in the place of feminist geopolitics in critical geopolitics.
