Abstract

This article seeks to contribute to the
security dilemma concept by exploring ideational components of its mechanism.
To achieve this goal, it focuses on the effects of the formative events on the
cultural products, motivational dynamics (fear, hatred, and enmity), and
identity formation by conducting a case study.,
the article examines the construction of anarchy by employing a constructivist
approach, which was regarded as the source of ‘uncertainty’ driving to the
security dilemma by the realist mainstream. It demonstrates that the
‘perception patterns,’ which is the result of the accumulation of the past
lessons, play a key role in recognition of other actors` intent and
construction of anarchy and offers a 
more explanatory concept.

Algılama Kalıpları: Ermenistan ve Azerbaycan Vakası Güvenlik İkilemi Konseptinin Eksik Bileşeni

Abstract

Bu makale, Güvenlik İkilemi
konseptinin işleyiş mekanizmasının düşünsel faktörleri araştırarak söz konusu
konseptin geliştirilmesine katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu maksatla, toplum
hayatını şekillendirici tarihsel olayların kültürel araçlar, yönlendirici dinamikler
(korku, nefret ve düşmanlık) ve toplumsal kimlik oluşumuna etkilerine vaka
analizi yöntemi ile odaklanmaktadır. Realist akımın, Güvenlik İkileminin sebebi
olarak gördüğü ‘emin olamama-belirsizlik’ durumunun kaynağı olan anarşinin oluşmasını
konstrüktivist yaklaşımla irdeleyen makale, geçmiş olaylardan alınan derslerin zaman
içerisinde birikmesi sonucu oluşan ‘algı kalıplarının,’ diğer aktörlerin
niyetlerinin belirlenmesinde ve anarşinin oluşmasında anahtar bir rol oynadığını
ortaya koyarak Güvenlik İkilemi mekanizmasının işleyişini daha iyi açıklayabilecek
bir konsept sunmaktadır.
