Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı lisans ve lisansüstü düzeyde Türkiye ve Amerika Birleşik Dev-letleri’nin istihbarat eğitim programlarını karşılaştırılmasıdır. Çalışma nitel araştır-ma deseninde tasarlanmış olup doküman incelemesi ve betimsel içerik analizi kulla-nılmıştır. Doküman analizi hem yazılı hem de elektronik materyalleri değerlendiren ve inceleyen sistematik bir yöntemdir. Araştırmada, lisans ve lisansüstü düzeyde Tür-kiye’de Milli Savunma Üniversitesi, Jandarma ve Sahil Güvenlik Akademisi, Polis Akademisi, İstanbul Aydın Üniversitesi ve ABD’de Citadel Military Collage of South Carolina, American Military University, The Institute of World Politics, Mercyhurst University’nin istihbarat eğitim programları incelenmiştir. Yapılan çalışma sonucun-da elde edilen bulgular şunlardır: ABD’de lisans düzeyinde sadece istihbarat eğitimi veren birçok spesifik üniversite mevcut iken, Türkiye’de ise doğrudan lisans düzeyinde istihbarat eğitimi veren spesifik bir üniversite bulunmamakta ve lisans düzeyinde istihbarat eğitimi bir üniversitenin bünyesinde verilmektedir. İstihbarat eğitimi lisan-süstü düzeyde karşılaştırıldığında ABD’de birçok üniversitede verilirken, Türkiye’de ise sadece dört üniversitede verildiği görülmektedir. ABD’de lisans ve lisansüstü prog-ramlarda istihbarat eğitimi, ABD’nin dünya politikaları ve iç güvenlik tehditleri ile şekillenirken Türkiye’de ise lisans ve lisansüstü düzeyde istihbarat eğitimi Türkiye’nin iç güvenlik tehditleri doğrultusunda şekillenmiştir.

Document analysis is a systematic method of evaluating and examining both written and electronic materials. In this research, the undergraduate and graduate level intelligence education programs of Turkey’s; National Defense University, Gendarmerie and Coast Guard Academy, Police Academy, Istanbul Aydin University, and in United States; Citadel Military Collage of South Carolina, American Military University, The Institute of World Politics, and Mercyhurst University’s programs are studied. The findings obtained as a result of the study are as follows: While there are many specific universities in the United States that mainly focused on providing intelligence education including the undergraduate level, there are no specific universities in Turkey that mainly focused on providing intelligence education directly at the undergraduate level, and intelligence education at the undergraduate level is provided within the University. On the graduate level, universities that provides intelligence education is umpteen in the United States however, in Turkey, only four universities provide intelligence education on the graduate level. Apart from that United States’ undergraduate and graduate level intelligence education focuses on United States’ world politics and homeland security, in case of Turkey, undergraduate and graduate level intelligence education predominantly focused on homeland security threats.
