İçişlerine Karışmama İlkesi Bağlamında Çin’in Afrika’daki Askeri ve Güvenlik Politikaları (1955-2021)

Bu makalede, Çin’in 1955’ten itibaren Afrika’da uyguladığı askeri ve güvenlik politikalarının içişlerine karışmama ilkesi bağlamında nasıl bir dönüşüm geçirdiği incelenmektedir. 2013’te Xi Jinping’in Çin Devlet Başkanı olmasıyla birlikte, bu ilkenin tamamen terk edildiği yeni bir savunma ve güvenlik anlayışı benimsenmiştir. Elinizdeki çalışmada, 1955’ten günümüze kadarki süreçte, Çin’in Afrika’da benimsediği askeri ve güvenlik politikalarında içişlerine müdahale etmeme ilkesinin uygulanmasında radikal bir kopuş veya dönüşüm gerçekleşmediği öne sürülmektedir. İçişlerine müdahale etmeme ilkesi, Çin dış politikasındaki en önemli diplomatik araçlardan biri olarak kullanılmasına rağmen, uygulamada hiçbir zaman öncelik taşımamıştır. Dolayısıyla, Çin’in Afrika’daki savunma ve güvenlik anlayışı idealist bir biçimde tanımlanmasına karşın, tamamen pragmatik bir biçimde belirlenmektedir. Bu makale, Çin’in askeri politikalarındaki pragmatik yaklaşımı göstermek üzere, 1955’ten bugüne kadar, bu ilkenin hangi amaçlarla kullanıldığını ve uygulamaya yansıyan farklılıkları ele almaktadır. Son olarak da, Xi liderliğinde daha hırslı küresel siyasi hedeflerle ortaya konan Yeni İpek Yolu Projesi ve Çin Rüyası vizyonu doğrultusunda Afrika’ya yönelik yeni savunma anlayışı incelenmektedir. Bu bağlamda, 2013’ten itibaren ikili askeri diplomasi ve Çin donanmasının Afrika kıyılarında artan varlığı, askeri üs kurulması, BM operasyonlarına yönelik değişen yaklaşım ve son olarak Afrika bölgesel örgütlerinin askeri kapasite oluşturmalarına destek verilmesi gibi politikalar ele alınmaktadır.
