Abstract

Dünyada bir düzen vardır. Dünya düzeni siyasal düzenin bir parçasıdır. Siyaset biliminde
düzene ilişkin teorilerin çatı kavramı olan siyasal düzen teorisi, dünya düzeninin ardındaki temel
teoridir. Aynı zamanda siyasal düzen teorisi dünya siyasetinin bütüncül bir şekilde anlaşılması için
önemli bakış açısı sunar. Siyasal düzen teorisinin bu kadar önemli olmasının nedeni, siyasal yapıların
hâkim bir anlayış doğrultusunda gelişen bir siyasal düzen içerisinde var olduğu gerçeğidir. Siyasal
düzen teorisi konusunda en kapsamlı bilimsel açıklamaları Samuel P. Huntington yapmıştır. Samuel
Huntington 20. yüzyılın en önemli siyasal düşünürleri ve siyaset bilimcileri arasındadır. Siyasal düzen
teorisinin ve Huntington’un bu önemine karşın, Huntington’da siyasal düzen teorisi literatürde
yeterince açıklanmamıştır. Bu makalenin amacı, Samuel Huntington’un siyasal teorilerinin ve
özellikle de siyasal düzen teorisinin bütüncül ve bilimsel bir şekilde açıklanmasına katkı sunmaktır.
Bu doğrultuda yapılacak bir inceleme siyasal düzen olgusu ile teorisi arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya
koymayı da hedeflemektedir. Huntington’un siyasal düzen teorisi Amerikan hegemonyası
savunusunun bir parçasıdır. Huntington yeni dünya düzeni döneminin teorisyenleri arasında yer alır.
Bu doğrultuda, bu makale Amerikan hegemonyası savunucularının önemli tezlerini de
açıklamaktadır. Huntington’un siyasal düzen teorisi dört başlıkta ele alınabilir: kurumsallaşma, ulusal
siyasal düzenin unsurları, değişim karşısında siyasal düzen ve yeni dünya düzeni teorisi. Siyasal
partiler, siyasal katılma ve siyasal kültür Huntington’a göre, ulusal siyasal düzenin temel unsurlarıdır.
Sonuçta, Huntington’un siyasal düzen teorisi, dünyada devam eden siyasal düzen olgusunun ardında
önemli bir teorik zemin olarak durmaktadır.

Abstract

An order exists in the world. World order is a part of political order. The theory of political
order, which is a supreme concept of the theories related to order, is a basic theory behind the world
order. Also the theory of political order provides important perspective for understanding world
politics in a totalitarian and scientific way. The reason of such importance of the theory of political
order is the fact that the political structures exists inside the political order developed through the
dominant understanding. The person who makes the most comprehensive scientific explanations
about the theory of political order is Samuel P. Huntington. Samuel Huntington is one of the most
important political philosophers and political scientists of the 21’th century. Despite the importance of
the theory of political order and Huntington, theory of political order is not sufficiently explained in
the literature. The purpose of this article is to contribute to make totalitarian scientific explanation of
the political theories and especially the theory of political order of Samuel Huntington. An assessment
made in this direction also aims explaining the relation between the fact and theory of political order.
The theory of political order of Huntington is a part of American hegemony advocacy. Huntington is
one of the important theoreticians in the era of new world order. Accordingly, this article explains
important thesis of American hegemony advocacy. The theory of political order of Samuel
Huntington can be assessed under four titles: institutionalization, elements of national political order,
political order against change and the theory of new world order. Political parties, political
participation and political culture are the basic elements of national order. In conclusion, the political
theory of political order in Huntington states a theoretical base for existing phenomenon of political
order in the world.
