    Nato-ab İlişkilerinde İşbirliği ve Çatışma Dinamikleri
    (Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği İktisadi İşletmesi, 2014) Açıkmeşe Akgül, Sinem; Dizdaroğlu, Cihan
    Soğuk Savaş dönemi boyunca Avrupa-Atlantik bölgesinde güvenlik ve savunma alanında NATO’nun sahip olduğu üstün konum, Avrupa’da kendi kendine yetebilen bir güvenlik mekanizmasının oluşumunu engellemiştir. Soğuk Savaş sonrasında dönüşmeye başlayan NATOAB ilişkilerinde, 1998 St. Malo Zirvesi’nin kazandırdığı ivmeyle temelleri atılan OGSP bir dönüm noktası teşkil etmiştir. Bu tarihten itibaren iki örgüt ilişkilerinde işbirliği fırsatlarının yanı sıra çatışma alanları da belirmeye başlamıştır. NATO-AB arasındaki ilişkilerin kurumsal çerçevesini güçlendiren ve “Berlin-artı” düzenlemelerini de içeren bir dizi anlaşmanın varlığına rağmen günümüzde 22 ortak üyeye sahip iki örgüt arasında etkin bir işbirliğinden söz etmek yanıltıcı olacaktır. Başta AB üyesi olmayan NATO müttefiklerine uygulanan ayrımcılık olmak üzere, halen varlığını sürdüren kurumlar arası ayrışma ve ikilik gibi sorunlar NATO-AB ilişkilerinde gelişimin önünü tıkamaktadır. Bu makale, iki örgüt arasındaki sınırlı işbirliğinin yanı sıra, daha etkin bir işbirliğinin önünü tıkayan engelleri ele almaktadır.

    Türkiye's Relations With/Within Nato: the Ontological Security Dilemmas of Türkiye's Transatlantic Identity
    (Sage Publications inc, 2024) Akgul-Acikmese, Sinem; Aksu, Fulya
    Since 1952, T & uuml;rkiye's Transatlantic identity has been largely shaped by its NATO membership and interactions with the Allies. During the Cold War, T & uuml;rkiye aligned its national interests and security concerns with NATO, making its membership a central element of its identity. However, starting in the 2000s, T & uuml;rkiye shifted toward a more independent foreign policy, influenced by its new activism and regional ambitions, particularly in the Middle East. This shift has caused tensions with NATO, especially considering T & uuml;rkiye's military interventions in Syria, its purchase of the S-400 missile defense system from Russia, and its reactions to the latest enlargement of NATO. This paper examines T & uuml;rkiye's evolving Transatlantic identity through the lens of ontological security, according to which states act in order to provide continuity in their identities (T & uuml;rkiye's Transatlantic identity) and to prevent any instabilities to feel ontologically secure, which then might create security dilemmas between the protective security cocoons (T & uuml;rkiye's NATO membership) and the crises with other actors (T & uuml;rkiye's clashes with/within NATO). In other words, this paper aims to understand how T & uuml;rkiye's Transatlantic identity is still valued, desired, and reconstructed, despite the security dilemmas of T & uuml;rkiye's contentions with/within the NATO Alliance, from the ontological security perspective.

    Göçün Dezenformasyon ile Güvenlikleştirilmesi: Brexit Vakası
    (2024) Ünlü, Yaren; Açıkmeşe, Sinem Akgül
    Uluslararası göç, yirminci yüzyılın ortalarından itibaren Avrupa gündeminde önemli bir konu haline gelmiştir. Değişen küresel ortam, İkinci Dünya Savaşı'ndan sonra bu olguya ilişkin anlayışı dönüştürmüş ve güvenlik kavramının geleneksel ön kabullerine meydan okumuştur. Bu değişen ortamda göç, özellikle 1970'lerden itibaren Avrupa'da güvenlik perspektifleri çerçevesinde ele alınmaya başlanmıştır. Göçün Avrupa'da bir güvenlik tehditi olarak inşa edilmesinde dezenformasyon, olguyu çarpıtılmış anlatılar ve bilgiler aracılığıyla güvenlik çerçevesi içinde sunarak önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Hem dezenformasyon kullanımının hem de göçün güvenlikleştirilmesinin odak noktası olan Birleşik Krallık'taki Brexit, Britanya tarihinin en önemli referandumlarından biri olarak kabul edilmektedir. Referandum kampanyalarının farklı aktörleri arasında yer alan Vote Leave kampanyası liderleri, anlatılarında dezenformasyonu kullanarak göçü gündemlerinin ön sıralarına taşımışlardır. Bu çalışma, Brexit referandum kampanyaları sırasında (20 Şubat-22 Haziran 2016) göçün Vote Leave kampanyası tarafından dezenformasyon yoluyla nasıl güvenlikleştirildiğini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Analizde, Kopenhag Okulu'nun güvenlikleştirme teorisinin temel ilkeleri, söz edimi metodolojisi kullanılarak uygulanmıştır. Güvenlikleştirici aktörler tarafından yapılan açıklamalar, bu teorinin temel unsurları açısından incelenmiştir. Çalışma, Vote Leave kampanyasının göçü çarpıtılmış veya yanıltıcı bilgilerle Birleşik Krallık'ın sınır ve ekonomik güvenliğine yönelik bir tehdit olarak sunduğunu göstermektedir. Dahası, güvenlikleştirici aktörler uygun acil durum önlemlerinin alınmasını talep etmiştir. Bu bağlamda, Vote Leave kampanyası Brexit referandumu kampanyaları sırasında dezenformasyon yoluyla göçü başarılı bir şekilde güvenlikleştirmiştir.

    The Comparative Roles of the European Union and the African Union in Peacekeeping
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2016) Nlem, Anne Paule Ngoh; Akgül Açıkmeşe, Sinem
    The concept of peacekeeping has been the subject of several studies specifically since the end of the Cold War. This thesis focuses on the evolution of peacekeeping both at the conceptual and the practical level by looking at the comparative roles of the European Union (EU) and the African Union (AU) in the African continent through three case-studies in order to test the capabilities and effectiveness of the EU and the AU in dealing with conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Darfur and the Central African Republic. In this context, this thesis compares and contrasts the effectiveness of these two institutions in peacekeeping; bearing in mind the fact that peacekeeping is also about diplomacy and it must not always be about the use of force. Accordingly, this thesis argues that although the AU is younger and has less experience in peacekeeping when compared to the EU, both institutions which are considered not to be entirely successful in their peacekeeping functions face several challenges in ending the current conflicts and preventing further ones.

    Understanding Turkish-Greek Relations Through Securitization To Desecuritization :a Turkish Perspective
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2017) Dizdaroglu, Cihan; Akgül Açıkmeşe, Sinem
    This thesis focuses on the main contentious issues between Turkey and Greece particularly in the post-Cold War era which was the peak point of securitization in bilateral relations by using the framework of securitization theory in order to understand how by whom and to what extent Greece is securitized and desecuritized by Turkey. By doing so the thesis argues that there was a “threatening” and a “hostile” tone in Turkish elites’ discourses in almost every contention between the two countries such as delimitation (territorial waters airspace and the continental shelf) and sovereignty issues (the status of the islands islets and rocks as well as the (de)militarization of the islands) in the Aegean Sea problems related to Cyprus and Greece’s ties with terrorist organizations. Even tough Turkish elites have securitized issues related to Greece such security speech-acts paradoxically since the late 1990s due to the forces of rapprochement bilateral relations were almost transformed into a cooperative stance with emphasis on “friendship” rather than focusing on any existential threat and decision-makers began to substitute their security grammar with a positive and cautious tone. Accordingly this thesis argues that it is possible to explain the amelioration of bilateral relations with the methodology of desecuritization as there is a close correlation between the rapprochement process and desecuritization. in this context the thesis reaches the conclusion that the rapprochement process which has been an outcome of several factors in Turkish-Greek relations quite fits into the form of “change through stabilization” borrowed from Lene Hansen’s terminology.

    Dynamics of Cooperation and Conflict in Nato-Eu Relations
    (International Relations Council of Turkey, 2014) Akgül Açikmeşe, S.; Dizdaroğlu, C.
    NATO's supremacy in the security and defence structures of the Euro-Atlantic region during the Cold War era has prevented the development of a self-sustained European security mechanism. With the end of the Cold War, specifically with the St. Malo Summit in 1998 which was a breakthrough in the advancement of the Common Security and Defence Policy, the NATO-EU relationship became pronounced. Since then, opportunities for and difficulties of collaboration have both defined this inter-institutional relationship between NATO and the EU. Despite a series of arrangements for strengthening the institutional framework of NATO- EU relations as well as the Berlin-plus agreements, the argument of an effective cooperation between two organizations would be misguided. Particularly, discrimination against the non-EU NATO allies as well as the existence of challenges such as decoupling and duplication are hampering progress in NATO-EU relations. This article aims at shedding a light on the limited cooperation between these two organizations by focusing on the current challenges.

    The European Union and Nato Maritime Security Cooperation in the Mediterranean
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2020) Baldıran Selen; Akgül Açıkmeşe, Sinem
    Today, Europeans are facing a large migration crisis in the Mediterranean. To tackle this humanitarian crisis, while the European Union (EU) decides maritime security operation called "Sophia" in 2015, NATO has played a supportive and complementary role to Operation Sophia in the Mediterranean with its maritime security operation called "Sea Guardian" since 2016. In this connection, the objective of the thesis work has tried to answer this research question: "To what extent is the EU and NATO maritime security cooperation effective with a specific focus on Operation Sophia and Operation Sea Guardian in the Mediterranean?" In this thesis work, for measurement of this effectiveness, the criteria based on six strategic actions for maritime security operations which are framed by the "Maritime Security Operations (MSO) Concept". In addition, for the answering of this research question, the research has made use of qualitative research methods. The data is derived from primary and secondary resources. Two organizations' official documents and presidents' speeches of both organizations' member states are used as the primary resources. Books and articles from social sciences databases are used as secondary resources. When the criteria based on six actions for MSO are analyzed, this analysis shows as follows: lack of political willingness; NATO as not the right partner for non-military issues like migration crisis; lack of maximum maritime domain awareness due to the inability of information sharing; lack of consent of the UNSCR or Libyan government for Operation Sophia's deployment from high seas to Libyan territorial waters and so the existence of some problems related to jurisdictional arrangements; and lastly even if both organizations have cooperated with commercial shipping agencies in the Mediterranean, these agencies are not the right partner for the humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean. The result is that while the EU and NATO have very ambitions both on declarations and at summits, there are factors limiting their ongoing maritime security cooperation in the Mediterranean. In addition, the limitations of Operation Sophia have a negative effect on the EU's maritime cooperation with NATO

    Squaring the Circle: the Eu's Operational Impact in the Black Sea Region
    (Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Acikmese Akgul, Sinem; Dizdaroğlu, Cihan
    The aim of this paper is to explain the flux in the European Union (EU) policies towards the Black Sea region with a particular comparative focus on the impact of the EU's operations in the South Caucasus and the EU Border Assistance Mission (EUBAM) in Moldova. This paper adopts the prospect and process of EU enlargement towards Central and Eastern Europe as a breakthrough in the EU's deeper rapprochement with the Black Sea region. By assuming that the EU has a variety of instruments at its disposal for crisis management this paper suggests that the EU is relatively more powerful with its framework initiatives in dealing with the problems of the region at the grass-roots level more so than as a security actor assuming direct roles including the operative side of the Common Security and Defence Policy in the resolution of the regional conflicts in Abkhazia South Ossetia Nagorno-Karabakh and Transnistria. More specifically this paper argues to what extent the three-and-a-half operations in the Black Sea are successful in presenting effective solutions to the region's conflictual situations.

    Perception or Discourse? Security Threats in Copenhagen School and Neoclassical Realism
    (2011) Acikmese Akgul, Sinem
    This article compares the perceptive approach of neoclassical realist security understanding with the discursive constructivist methodology of the Copenhagen School in analyzing the emergence of security threats. It departs from the assumption that these theories divergent in their perspectives on the content of security threats as well as security actors are comparable since they reveal methodological commonalities. The main emphasis of this article is that while partly adopting the perceptive subjectivity of neoclassical realism the Copenhagen School has further developed an alternative model of discursive intersubjectivity in analyzing security threats. In this context it will first cover the discussions on the content of security threats in Security Studies literature. It will then compare the assumptions of various realist understandings of security on the content and emergence of security threats with a particular focus on the perceptive perspective of neoclassical realism. Finally it will study the threat approach of the Copenhagen School through its securitization theory with insights from the speech-act theory political theory and discourse analysis in comparison with neoclassical realism.
