ULUSLARARASI İLİŞKİLER TARİHİNİN YAPISÖKÜMÜ: İDEALİZM-REALİZM TARTIŞMASI

Birinci Dünya Savaşısonrasında özgün bir çalışma alanıolarak doğan Uluslararası İlişkiler disiplininin bir asırlık tarihinde ortaya çıkmışbüyük tartışmalardan ilki İdealizm-Realizm tartışmasıdır. “Kurucu Tartışma” olarak da adlandırılan bu tartışma, bir yandan alanın terminolojisinin yerleşmesini sağlamış, öte yandan da disiplinin sınırlarınıçizmiştir. Bu tartışma, her ne kadar gerçek bir tartışma olmaktan ziyade akademik bir fictionveya reflexolarak karşımıza çıksa da; sadece disiplinin geleceğini şekillendirmekle kalmamışhem Uluslararası İlişkiler öğrencilerine hem de politika yapımcılarına köklü bir referans noktasıolarak disiplindeki yerini almıştır. 1919-1950 yıllarıarasında etkili olan tartışmayı, tartışmanın aktörlerini, tarihini, temel argümanlarınıve iki paradigma arasındaki ayrım noktalarınıanlamaksızın disiplinin bugününde etkili olan tartışmalarıanlayabilmek ve disiplinin tarihini özümseyebilmek mümkün değildir.

Idealism-Realism debate is the first one among the great debates in the IR as an academic field emerged after the World War I. Known as the founding debate of the discipline, this debate has not contributed only in setting up the terminology of the field, but also determined its boundaries. Even though some argue that this debate can be depicted as an academic fiction or a reflex rather than a real theoretical debate happened between rival academicians, it has not shaped the discipline’s future only. Also, it acted a valuable reference point both for the students of international relations and policymakers. It is, therefore, impossible to conceive the history of the discipline and current debates unless the rift between the two traditional approaches, their basic arguments, roots and actors effective up to the beginning of the 1950s are understood properly and comprehensively
