BATISIZLIK VE TRUMP'UN GÖLGESİNDE TRANSATLANTİK İLİŞKİLER

Year 2022, Volume: 9 Issue: 1, 385 - 405, 23.03.2022

Abstract

II. Dünya Savaşı’nın ardından Atlas Okyanusu’nun iki yakasındaki taraflar diplomasi, ekonomi, güvenlik ve ortak değerler üzerinden bir ilişki inşa etmişlerdir. Zamanla farklılaşan bu ortaklık hem Soğuk Savaş’ın sona ermesinin ardından yaşanan gerilimler hem de 11 Eylül sonrası ortam nedeniyle birçok açıdan krize sürüklenmiş; Irak Savaşı’nın ardından daha da sorunlu bir hale gelmiştir. 2008 ekonomik krizi, tek kutupluluğun zayıflamasının ardından oluşan yeni konjonktür, küresel çapta terörle mücadele ve son olarak hali hazırda yaşanan koronavirüs salgını Transatlantik müttefikler arasındaki ilişkilerin yönünü değiştirmiştir. Makalede, ilişkilerdeki bu dönüşümün sebepleri son dönemde gündeme gelen Batısızlık kavramı üzerinden analiz edilmeye çalışılmaktadır. Makalenin ana amacı Donald Trump’ın başkanlığı sırasında Avrupa Birliği ile Amerika Birleşik Devletleri arasındaki ilişkilerde yaşananları ortaya koymaktır. Bunun yanısıra Trump ve sonrası dönemde ABD’nin üstlenebileceği veya üstlenmek isteyeceği rol ve Avrupa ile arasındaki ittifakın sürdürülebilirliği tartışılmaktadır. Sonuçta da Trump dönemi boyunca Transatlantik ilişkilerin zayıfladığına ve Batısızlık eğiliminin artığına dair ciddi kanıtlar ortaya koymaktadır.

WESTLESSNESS AND TRANSATLANTIC RELATIONS IN TRUMP'S SHADOW

Year 2022, Volume: 9 Issue: 1, 385 - 405, 23.03.2022

Abstract

After World War II, both sides of the Atlantic Ocean built a relationship through diplomacy, economy, security and common values. This partnership, which has diversified over time, has been dragged into crisis in many ways, both due to the tensions after the end of the Cold War and the post-9/11 environment; it has become even more problematic after the Iraq War. The 2008 economic crisis, the new conjuncture following the weakening of unipolarism, the global fight against terrorism and finally the coronavirus epidemic has changed the direction of relations between transatlantic allies. In this article, the reasons of this transformation in relations are tried to be analyzed through the concept of Westlessness, which has recently come to the fore. The main purpose of the article is to set out the characteristics of the relations between the European Union and the United States during Donald Trump's presidency. In addition, the role that the United States can or will want to undertake in the post-Trump era and the sustainability of alliance with Europe are discussed. As a result, it reveals serious evidence that EU-US relations have weakened over the Trump period and the tendency towards Westleesness increased.
