Güç konusunda hızlanan dönüşüm, yeni güç unsurlarının ortaya çıkması ve Türk Dünyası bağlamında nicel güç performans analizlerinin yapılmamış olması bu makalenin başlıca problematikleridir. Bu doğrultuda Türk Devletleri Teşkilatı üyeleri; Azerbaycan, Kazakistan, Kırgızistan, Özbekistan ve Türkiye için sert ve yumuşak güç unsurlarından hareketle performans değerlendirmesi amaçlanmıştır. Güç kavramındaki dönüşüme odaklanan teorik analizlerle güç kaynaklarına yönelik niceliksel analizlerin bir arada olduğu çalışmada; ülke performans analizleri; Çok Kriterli Karar Verme yöntemlerinden ARAS (Additive Ratio Assessment) ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ulaşılan başlıca teorik sonuçlar; artık sert gücün tek başına yeterli olmadığı ve yenidünya şartlarında akılcı güç doğrultusunda yapılanmanın kaçınılmazlığı şeklindedir. Ülkelere yönelik güç performans değerlendirmeleriyle ulaşılan başlıca nicel sonuçlar ise; Türkiye dışındaki devletlerin yumuşak güç noktasında oldukça yetersiz olduğu, ayrıca bu ülkelerin soğuk savaş sonrası şartlara aykırı şekilde yumuşak değil de sert güç performansında daha iyi olduklarıdır. Oysaki günümüzde politik güç bağlamında ön plandaki strateji, yumuşak güce ağırlık verilmesidir. Tüm bunlar akılcı güç potansiyeli açısından önemli eksiklerdir.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF TURKIC STATES MEMBER COUNTRIES IN THE CONTEXT OF POWER ELEMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS IN TERMS OF SMART POWER

Öz

The main problematics of this article are the accelerated transformation in power, the emergence of new power elements, and the lack of quantitative power performance analyses in the context of the Turkic World. In this direction, it is aimed to evaluate the performance of the Organization of Turkic States member countries Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkey, based on the elements of hard and soft power. This study focuses on the transformation in the concept of power. It combines theoretical and quantitative analyses for power resources, and country performance analysis was carried out with ARAS (Additive Ratio Assessment), one of the effective Multi-Criteria Decision Making methods. The main theoretical results reached; that hard power alone is no longer sufficient, and in the new world conditions, structuring in line with smart power is inevitable. The main quantitative results reached by power performance evaluations for countries are; States other than Turkey are quite inadequate in soft power, and these countries are better in hard power performance than soft power, contrary to the post-cold war conditions. However, today, the strategy at the forefront of political power is to focus on soft power. All these are essential shortcomings in terms of smart power potential.
