Dünya Politikasında Ne, Kim ve Nerede? İki Farklı ‘Uluslararası’ Anlayışı
Uluslararası İlişkiler (Uİ) disiplininin dünyanın merkez dışı yerlerine olan yaklaşımındaki kısıtlar son
yıllarda tartışmaya açılmıştır. Bu makale, bu tartışmaya katkı sunan iki önemli yazın olan Üçüncü Dünya Uİ
ve postkolonyal Uİ perspektiflerine odaklanmaktadır. Makale, bu iki yaklaşımın ‘uluslararasını’ anlamada
farklarının olup olmadığını sorgulamaktadır. Makaleye göre bu analizin önemi ‘uluslararası’ anlayışlarının Uİ’nin
kısıtlarını ve merkez dışının dünya politikasındaki yerini anlamadaki rolünden kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu amaçla
makale, ‘uluslararası’ anlayışlarını oluşturan üç temel soru olan dünya politikasında ne, kim ve nerede sorularına
cevap arar. Makale bu iki yazın arasındaki benzerliklere ve farklılıklara işaret ederken bu bulguların disiplinde
merkez dışını ve dünya politikasını çalışmaya olan etkilerini tartışarak sonuçlanmaktadır.
The What, Who and Where of World Politics? Two Different Conceptions of ‘the International’
Limitations pertaining to the discipline of International Relations (IR) in its approach to the non-core parts
of the world have been debated over the last several decades. This paper looks at the contributions of two
significant bodies of scholarship, namely Third World IR and postcolonial IR, to this conversation and questions
whether there have been any differences regarding how ‘the international’ is understood in these two bodies of
scholarship. Such an analysis is significant, argues the paper, because their conceptions of ‘the international’
inform how the limitations of IR and the place of the non-core in world politics can be understood. To this end,
the paper looks at questions that constitute conceptions of ‘the international,’ namely, the what, who, and where
of world politics. We conclude by enumerating the commonalities and differences between these two bodies of
scholarship and discussing the implications of our findings for studying non-core and world politics.
