Değerler ve çıkarlar ikileminde ABD’nin “Arap Baharı”na yönelik politikası

Amerikan ulusal çıkarları açısından oldukça büyük önem arz eden Arap coğrafyasında yaşanan ayaklanmalar bir yıldan fazla bir süredir Ameri- kan dış politikasını yoğun olarak meşgul etmektedir. Yaşanan ayaklan- malar, ABD’nin bölgeye yönelik on yıllar boyunca izlediği ve otoriter re- jimlerle geliştirdiği işbirliğine dayanan politikaların sürdürülmesinin ar- tık mümkün olmadığını göstermiştir. Washington, hem Amerikan toplu- munun ve uluslararası toplumun demokratik gösterileri desteklemesi beklentisi ile karşı karşıya bulunmakta, hem de bölgedeki ulusal çıkarla- rını korumanın sorumluluğunu üzerinde hissetmektedir. Ayaklanmalara yönelik politikalarını belirlerken değerler ile çıkarlar ikilemi arasında kalan Barack Obama yönetimi, tercihini ikincisinden yana kullanmış ve Amerikan ulusal çıkarlarının korunmasına yönelik bir politika izlemiştir. Bu bağlamda Arap halklarının yanında olduğunu dile getirmesine rağ- men, Amerikan yanlısı rejimlerin varlığını sürdürmesi için büyük çaba sarf etmiştir.

U.S. policy toward the “Arab Spring” in dilemma between values and interests

Uprisings in the Arab world have occupied an important place in American foreign policy for more than a year. The uprisings show Washington that American policies toward the region basing on cooperation with the authoritarian regimes for decades have not been sustainable anymore. Washington exposes to criticisms from the international society and its domestic politics on the basis that the U.S. must support democratic demonstrations and has responsibility for the protection of national interests in Arab region. The Obama administration which is in dilemma of locating itself between “values” and “interests” in foreign policy chose the latter. Although the Obama administration remarks its support to Arab people, in fact, it spends enormous effort to save pro-American regimes.
