Abstract

Jordan, which was a colony of Great Britain
until Second World War and gained independence after the war, is a sample of
third world state with its weak economy, weak institutional capacity and weak
socio-political cohesion between state and society. Third world states make the
regime security’s reference object of security in their security policies. On
the contrary, Jordan, with its security strategies becomes alternative to
general third world security theories. By being an only Middle Eastern member
of Human Security Network, which aims to take forward Human Security notion,
Jordan distinguishes from the other Middle East and third world states. In this
article, the motivation of prioritizing regime security and human security in
Jordan will be examined.

ORTADOĞU'DA REJİM GÜVENLİĞİNDEN İNSAN GÜVENLİĞİNE:ÜRDÜN ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

ÖZET

Ortadoğu’da Büyük
Britanya sömürgesi iken İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrası bağımsızlığını kazanmış
olan Ürdün; zayıf ekonomisi, yetersiz kurumsal altyapısı ve toplum ile devlet
arasındaki sosyo-politik oydaşmanın zayıflığı sebepleriyle bir üçüncü dünya
ülkesi örneğidir. Üçüncü dünya ülkeleri, rejimi güvenliğin referans nesnesi
haline getiren bir güvenlik konseptine sahiptir. Bu noktada bir üçüncü dünya
ülkesi olması açısından Ürdün, uygulamaya çalıştığı güvenlik stratejisi ile
hâkim üçüncü dünya güvenlik teorilerine bir alternatif oluşturmaktadır. İnsan güvenliği
kavramını daha ileri bir noktaya taşımak için kurulan İnsan Güvenliği Ağı’na
üye olan tek Ortadoğulu devlet olması açısından Ürdün, güvenlik politikası
olarak rejim güvenliğinden insan güvenliğine geçişi ile Ortadoğu’daki diğer
devletlerden ve benzeri üçüncü dünya ülkelerinden ayrılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada da
Ürdün’ün rejim güvenliği ve insan güvenliğini önceleyen politikalarının
ardındaki motivasyonlar incelenmeye çalışılacaktır.

            Jordan
which was a colony of Great Britain until Second World War and gained
independence after the war, is a sample of third world state with its weak
economy, weak institutional capacity and weak socio-political cohesion between
state and society. Third world states make the regime security reference object
of security in their security policies. On the contrary, Jordan, with its
security strategies becomes alternative to general third world security
theories. By being an only Middle Eastern member of Human Security Network,
which aims to take forward Human Security notion, Jordan distinguishes from the
other Middle East and third world states. In this article the motivation of prioritizing
regime security and human security in Jordan will be examined.
