Abstract

This article aims to provide a new approach to peacebuilding processes from the perspective of "local turn" in Peace and Conflict Studies and International Relations (IR) in Türkiye. The concept of hybrid peace has not been sufficiently addressed in previous studies. This article thoroughly evaluates and analyzes the definition of hybrid peace, its development in the context of liberal peace, and the criticisms. Unlike traditional peacebuilding efforts, hybrid peace focuses more on local dynamics, cultural factors, and social structures. The first objective of this study is to explain emergence of hybrid peace through the transformation of various approaches and how it responds to criticisms of liberal peace. The study examines how hybrid peace emerged and how it can offer an alternative approach. However, hybrid peace is criticized. The second objective is to examine and evaluate criticisms directed towards this concept. The first original criticism identified by this study is the duality of actors involved in the peacebuilding process, and the second one is the duality of ownership of the peacebuilding process. The article firstly will discuss the liberal peace and its criticisms which will analyze the fundamental principles, explaining emergence of hybrid peace. Secondly, relationships between liberal peace and hybridization and how the processes of hybridization can evolve into different perspectives will be discussed with diverse examples which aims to demonstrate how hybrid peace offers a different approach. Consequently, this article is the first study written to explain hybrid peace and provide an analytical assessment of its development and criticisms.

Barış İnşa Süreçlerinde Yeni Yaklaşımlar: Liberal Barıştan Melez Barışa Dönüşüm Analizi

Abstract

Bu makale, Türkiye’deki Barış ve Çatışma Çalışmaları ve Uluslararası İlişkiler (Uİ) alanları bağlamında, “yerele dönüş” perspektifinden barış inşa süreçlerine yeni bir yaklaşım sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Melez barış (hybrid peace) kavramı, daha önce Türkiye'deki akademik çalışmalarda yeterince ele alınmamıştır. Bu nedenle, makalede melez barış kavramının tanımı, liberal barış sonrası gelişimi ve kavrama yönelik eleştirileri, akademik yazında oluşturulan kuramsal çerçeve üzerinden ayrıntılı bir şekilde değerlendirilip analiz edilmektedir. Melez barış, geleneksel barış inşa çalışmalarının aksine, yerel dinamiklere, kültürel faktörlere ve toplumsal yapıya daha fazla odaklanır. Bu çalışmanın birinci amacı, melez barışın hangi yaklaşımların dönüşümü ile ortaya çıktığını ve liberal barış eleştirilerine nasıl bir yanıt sunduğunu açıklamaktır. Bu bağlamda, melez barışın nasıl ortaya çıktığı ve liberal barış eleştirilerine karşı nasıl bir alternatif sunabileceği incelenmektedir. Ancak, melez barış kavramı, bazı eleştirilere maruz kalmış ve sorgulanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın ikinci amacı, bu kavrama yönelik eleştirilerin irdelenerek değerlendirmesidir. Çalışmanın ortaya koyduğu özgün iki önemli eleştirilerden birincisi barış inşa sürecine dahil olan aktörler ikiliği, ikincisi barış inşa sürecini sahiplenme ikiliğidir. Makalenin ilk bölümünde liberal barış kavramı ve eleştirileri ele alınacaktır. Bu bölüm, liberal barışın temel prensiplerini, etkinliğini ve eleştirilerini analiz ederek, melez barış kavramının ortaya çıkışını açıklayacaktır. İkinci aşamada ise, liberal barış ile melezleşme arasındaki ilişkiler ve melezleşme süreçlerinin farklı açılara nasıl evrilebileceği çeşitli örneklerle tartışılacaktır. Bu bölüm, melez barışın nasıl farklı bir perspektif sunduğunu ve nasıl alternatif bir yaklaşım olduğunu ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir. Sonuç olarak, bu makale, melez barış kavramını tanımlamak, liberal barış sonrası gelişimi ve eleştirileri üzerine analitik bir değerlendirme yapmak amacıyla yazılmış ilk çalışmadır.
