West. Jordan, while having good relations with both the West and China and Russia, in return,

receives foreign aid. In order to secure the flowing of the aid, Jordan follows a balance policy.

secondly, explains how Jordan ménages to cooperate with Russia and China without loosing the

Western Support. Thirdly, the study asserts that the cooperation of Jordanian regime with both

ÜRDÜN’ÜN REJİM İDAMESİ KAPSAMINDA RUSYA VE ÇİN İLE İLİŞKİLERİ

Year 2016, Volume: 6 Issue: 1, 5 - 26, 30.06.2016

Abstract

Ürdün’ün dış politikasının küresel eksenini ABD ile sıkı ilişkiler oluştururken, ülke, Batılı diğer
ülkelerle de tarihsel olarak yakın bir işbirliği içerisindedir. Ancak Ürdün, ilginç nitelendirilebilecek
bir siyasetle kendilerini dünya siyasetinde birçok konuda Batı karşıtı konumlandıran Rusya ve Çin
ile de iyi bir işbirliğine sahiptir. Ürdün hem Batı hem de Rusya ve Çin ile iyi ilişkiler geliştirirken
karşılığında dış yardım almaktadır. Bunu sürekli kılmak içinse bir denge siyaseti izlemektedir. Bu
makale, ilk olarak, Ürdün’ün bu denge siyasetini tarihsel olarak nasıl yürüttüğüne odaklanmaktadır.
Çalışma ikinci olarak, Ürdün’ün Rusya ve Çin ile işbirliğini Batıdan gelen destekleri kaybetmeden
nasıl geliştirdiğini izah etmektedir. Üçüncü olarak, çalışma, Ürdün rejiminin Rusya ve Çin ile Arap
Baharı sürecinde geliştirdiği işbirliğinin denge siyaseti ile açıklanamayacağını ileri sürmekte ve
rejimin sadece maddi kazanımlar elde etmek değil aynı zamanda idamesini sağlamak için işbirliği
geliştirdiğini iddia etmektedir.
