İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrası Kore Yarımadası'nın bölünmesi ve Soğuk Savaş'ın bir çatışma noktası haline gelmesi, Kuzey Kore'yi jeopolitik açıdan önemli bir oyuncu haline getirmiştir. Soğuk Savaş yıllarındaki ideolojik dayanışmadan doğan Sovyet ve Kuzey Kore arasındaki ilişkilerin tarihsel ve jeopolitik arka planına özellikle 2022 Rusya-Ukrayan Savsı ile daha da önem kazanmıştır. Bu iki güç arasındaki dayanıklı iş birliği “yaptırım yoldaşlığı” olarak Batı'ya karşı ortak bir direniş pozisyonlarını ve uluslararası yaptırımlara karşı sürdürülen karşıtlıklarını vurgulamaktadır. Örnek olay incelemesi olarak bu iki ülkenin sistemdeki durumu incelenirken uluslararası alandaki gelişmeler ışığında, Kuzey Kore ve Rusya arasındaki yakınlaşmanın, dünya meselelerindeki etkilerini sınırlamak amacıyla uygulanan yaptırımlara bir yanıt olarak nasıl geliştiği, “yaptırım yoldaşlığı” çerçevesinde ele alınmaktadır. Çalışma, iki ülkenin ortak çabalarını ve ilişkilerindeki tarihsel süreklilikleri ve değişimleri işaret ederek, her iki ülkenin yaptırımlar karşısındaki davranışlarının mevcut dış politikalarını nasıl etkilediğini tartışacaktır.

Sanction Comradeship: The Russia-North Korea Alliance Against Western Embargoes

Öz

The division of the Korean Peninsula after World War II and its emergence as a focal point of the Cold War turned this country into a geopolitically significant actor, leading to a close relationship with the Soviet Union. This study focuses on the historical and geopolitical background of the long-standing relationship between Russia and North Korea, stemming from their ideological solidarity during the Cold War years. In this article, this resilient alliance between the two powers is termed as “sanction comradeship,” highlighting their common stance of resistance against the West and their enduring opposition to international sanctions. In examining the position of these two countries within international system, the study focuses primarily on the period from 2010 onwards, particularly until 2023. In this context, the study explores how the rapprochement between North Korea and Russia, under the influence of international developments, has evolved as a response to sanctions imposed to limit their impact on global affairs through the lens of “sanction comradeship.” This study will point out the continuity and changes in the history of their relations, discussing how both ’countries’ behaviors in the face of sanctions shape their current foreign policies.
