Abstract

“Failed Sates” has become one of the outstanding concepts in international relations for the last two decades. The aim of this paper is to point out the change in understanding of failed states from neorealist perspective. The argument is that while “failed states” issue used to be considered as economical before 9/11, it has become a security issue after that. Moreover, the analysis level has shifted nation level to international level. Having introduced and mentioned literature review, the definition problem takes place which is followed by theoretical approaches. Next part will focus on the change in failed states understanding from neorealist perspective. Key Words: Failed States, International Terror, Neorealism

NEO-REALİST PERSPEKTİFTEN BAŞARISIZ DEVLETLER KAVRAMSALLAŞMASININ DEĞİŞİMİ

Abstract

“Başarısız Devletler” son yirmi yılda uluslararası ilişkilerde en önemli kavramlardan biri haline geldi. Bu çalışmanın amacı başarısız devlet anlayışındaki değişimi neo realist perspektiften açıklamaktır. Argümanı; “Başarısız Devlet” kavramı 11 Eylülden önce ekonomik bağlamdayken bundan sonra güvenlik bağlamında algılandığıdır. Bunun yanında, analiz düzeyi devlet düzeyinden uluslararası düzeye kaymıştır. Giriş ve literatür taramasından sonra kavramın tanımı hakkındaki sorunlar ve akabinde teorik yaklaşımlar yer alacaktır. Daha sonraki kısım başarısız devlet kavramındaki değişimi neo realist perspektiften inceleyecektir.
