Name, Last name: Derviş Fikret Ünal Signature : iii ABSTRACT TURKEY’S RELATIONS WITH ISRAEL IN THE 2000s: A CONSTRUCTIVIST PERSPECTIVE Derviş Fikret Ünal Ph.D., Department of International Relations Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Özlem Tür July 2016, 299 pages The main aim of this dissertation is to understand Turkey’s relations with Israel in the 2000s from the perspective of Turkey’s state identity. The research question of this dissertation is whether or not the concept of “state identity” is relevant to the Turkish-Israeli relations, and if so, to what extent. This dissertation also studies if there is continuity or change in Turkey’s state identity in the 2000s. To that end, the dissertation compares and contrasts the situation before and after the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi) term from a theoretical perspective in order to reach a final analysis. This dissertation assumes that the change in the Turkish-Israeli relations in the 2000s from the strategic relations to crises can be explained by the change in Turkey’s state identity from the pro-Western stance to the Middle Easternized Central Country / Heir of the Ottoman Empire stance. Keywords: State identity, interest, foreign policy, Turkey, Israel iv ÖZ 2000’Lİ YILLARDA TÜRKİYE’NİN İSRAİL’LE İLİŞKİLERİ: İNŞACI BİR BAKIŞ AÇISI Derviş Fikret Ünal Doktora, Uluslararası İlişkiler Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi: Prof. Dr. Özlem Tür Temmuz 2016, 299 sayfa Bu tezin temel amacı, 2000’li yıllarda Türkiye’nin İsrail’le olan ilişkilerini Türkiye’nin devlet kimliği bakış açısından anlamaktadır. Tezin araştırma sorusu, “devlet kimliği” kavramının Türk-İsrail ilişkileriyle ilgili olup olmadığı, ilgili ise, ilişkileri hangi dereceye kadar açıklayıcı olduğudur. Bu tez, 2000’li yıllarda Türkiye’nin devlet kimliğinde süreklilik veya değişim olup olmadığını da ele almaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, sözkonusu tez, teorik bir çerçevede nihai bir analize varmak amacıyla, Türkiye’de Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi iktidarı öncesi ve sonrasını kıyaslamaktadır. Bu tez, Türkiye-İsrail ilişkilerinin, 1990’lı yıllarda “stratejik ilişkiler” tanımlamasından 2000’li yıllarda “krizler dönemine” dönüşmesine yönelik değişiminin, Türkiye’nin Batılı devlet kimliğinin Ortadoğululaşmış Merkez Ülke / Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun Mirasçısı kimliğine dönüşmesiyle açıklanabileceğini ileri sürmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Devlet kimliği, çıkar, dış politika, Türkiye, İsrail v To Salih Miroğlu, Nurten Ege, Fikret Ünal, Refik Ege, Mahiye Ünal, my family and the persons who always trust and help me vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I do owe a deep debt of gratitude to those people who support to complete my dissertation.

  • Israel, the Pro-Israel Lobby, American Jews and the Iran Deal
    Jonathan Rynhold Israel, the Pro-Israel Lobby, American Jews and the Iran deal American Jews were deeply divided over the 2015 Iran deal. Such divisions over Israel-related issues were nothing new. But this time the argument was not only particularly vitriolic, it was also especially significant because those in favor of the deal were confronting an Israeli consensus on an issue considered to be vital to Israeli security, a commitment to which was shared in principle by the overwhelming majority of American Jews who were skeptical of the agreement’s efficacy, even as they approved of it. This paper seeks to explain the cause of these divisions over the Iran deal and their political significance for Israel’s relations with American Jewry. Contrary to the terms of the core debate about the relationship of American Jews with Israel, which centers on the extent of American Jewish attachment to Israel, it argues that the key struggle was over the power to determine the political meaning of ‘pro-Israel’ in this critical context and that the divide was primarily a part of a wider partisan divide among Americans in general. In theoretical terms, “the authority to determine the shared meanings that constitute the identities, interests and practices… is perhaps the most subtle and most effective form of power because it encapsulates the institutional power to include or exclude, to legitimize and authorize”1. Strong and resilient shared meanings function as cultural ‘containers’ that serve as an important resource for mobilizing political support. The more robust the cultural container the more the political struggle is likely to be focused on interpreting and appropriating it to advance and legitimize a political agenda, rather than seeking to challenge it head-on.2 The pro-Israel orientation in American political culture is one such shared-meaning and it is centered on the American commitment to Israeli security.

  • Inönü Dönemi Türk Diş Politikasi
    İNÖNÜ DÖNEM İ TÜRK DI Ş POL İTİKASI (TURKISH FOREIGN POLICY WITHIN THE PERIOD OF INONU) ∗ Ahmet İLYAS ** Orhan TURAN ÖZET İkinci Dünya Sava şı boyunca Türk dı ş politikasının genel e ğilimi sava şa girmeme üzerine kurulmu ştur. Türkiye’nin bu politikası sava şın gidi şatına göre de ğişiklikler göstermi ştir. Sava ş boyunca tarafsızlık politikası izleyen Türkiye, bu politikayı uygularken kimi zaman İngiltere ve Fransa’ya yakın olmasına kar şın Almanya’ya kar şı da net bir tavır almaktan kaçınmı ştır. Bu yüzden dı ş politika yapıcıları Türkiye’nin bu tavrını “ aktif tarafsızlık ” olarak nitelendirmektedirler. İngiltere, Fransa ve Rusya Türkiye’yi sava şa girmeye ikna etmek için birçok görü şmeler ve konferanslar yapmalarına ra ğmen; her defasında Türkiye sava ş dı şı kalmayı ba şarmı ştır. Ancak sava şın sonunun belli olmasından sonra Türkiye kazanan tarafta yer almak için sava şa girmi ştir. Sava ş sonrasında ise Türkiye, Sovyet Rusya’dan gelebilecek tehlikeyi bertaraf etmek için Batı kartını kullanarak ABD ve İngiltere taraflı bir politika izlemi ştir. Anahtar Kelimeler : İnönü, Türkiye, İngiltere, Sovyet Rusya, Almanya ABSTRACT During the World War II, the general inclination of Turkish foreign policy was based on an anti-war principle. This policy of Turkey changed according to the state of war. Following an objective policy during the war, Turkey avoided from developing a determined attitude towards Germany while it remained close to England and France. Therefore, foreign policy makers define this attitude of Turkey as active neutrality. Although England, France and Russia conducted negotiations and conferences to convince Turkey to take part in war, each time Turkey achieved to stand outside of the war.

  • Amerikan Belgelerinde 27 Mayis Olayi
    AMERİKAN BELGELERİNDE 27 MAYİS OLAYİ Prof. Dr. FAHİR ARMAOĞLU 27 Mayıs askeri darbesinin, Cumhuriyet tarihimizde önemli ve ilginç bir yeri vardır. Olay, 1950'de gerçek anlamı ile işlemeye başlayan genç demok- rasimizin ilk "kesintisi" olduğu kadar, Büyük Atatürk'ün, Ordu ile Politika'yı birbirinden ayırdığı 1924 sonundan beri, Türk Silahlı Kuvvetleri'nin ilk defa olarak, bir siyasal olayın aktifunsuru haline gelmesidir. Ordunun, siyasal bir süreç içinde yer alması, 1961 Ekim seçimleriyle sona ermemiş, 1980 Eylülüne kadar devam eden dönemde, "Ordu faktörü", Türk iç politikasında bazan "silik", bazan da ön plâna çıkan bir nitelikte, yaklaşık 20 yıl kadar devam et- miştir. Bu belirttiğimiz noktalar, doğrudan doğruya Türkiye'nin kendi iç geliş- meleriyle ilgilidir. Fakat, 27 Mayıs Olayı' nın bir de dış politika yanı vardır. Başka bir deyişle, 27 Mayıs olayı, Türkiye'nin dış politikasına da yansıyacak nitelikte olmuştur. Şu anlamda ki, 27 Mayıs olayı meydana geldiğinde, Türk dış politikasında en etkin ve hatta dış politikamıza yön veren tek faktör, De- mokrat Parti hükümetlerinin izlediği dış politikanın doğal sonucu olarak, Amerika Birle şik Devletleri'dir. Aşağıda göreceğimiz gibi, 1960 Nisanından itibaren Türkiye'nin içi karıştığında, Demokrat Parti iktidarı, Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi'nin etkin muhalefeti ve kamuoyunun tepkileri karşısında, Ame- rika'da bir dayanak arama yoluna gitmiştir. Bu durum, Amerika'yı, bir hayli s ıkıntılı duruma itmiş görünüyor. Zira, Amerika'nın o zamanki Ankara Bü- yükelçisinin, 28 May ıs 1960 sabahı, darbenin liderliğini üzerine almış olan Orgeneral Cemal Gürsel'e söylediği gibi, Amerika, Lâtin Amerika ülkele- rinde yıllardır, pek çok askeri darbe görmüştü. Bu ülkelerin askeri darbele- rine Amerika adeta alışmıştı. Fakat, NATO'nun bir üyesi, 1950'den beri libe- ral demokrasiyi benimsemiş ve Batı siyasal sisteminin bir parçası haline gel- mi ş olan Türkiye'de bir "askeri darbe"nin oluşumu, Amerika'yı bir hayli şa- şırtmıştır.

  • Russia Hold Syria Talks with US, Saudi Arabia and Turkey
    INTERNATIONAL SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2015 Sword man school attack was ‘racist’ TROLLHATTAN: A sword-wielding man who killed two people at a Swedish school with many immigrant pupils was motivated by racism, police said yesterday, as hostility towards refugees mounts across Europe. Investigators in the southwestern Swedish town of Trollhattan confirmed that Thursday’s school attack was a “racially motivated” hate crime, based on the 21-year-old assailant’s “attire, his behavior at the scene of the crimes”. Police investigator Thor Haraldsson said the assailant targeted “those with dark complexions”. The killer, identified in the media as Anton Lundin-Pettersson, went from classroom to classroom at the school for six to 15-year-olds. He killed one teacher and a student, and injured another teacher and student who both remained in hospital yesterday. On his social media accounts, the attacker comes across as a loner fascinated by Hitler, Nazi Germany and Sweden’s far-right Sweden Democrats party, which is critical of Islam and rising immigration to Sweden. A country of 9.8 million, Sweden expects to receive up to 190,000 asylum applications this year-putting it among the EU states with the highest proportion of refugees per capita as the continent struggles with a massive influx of migrants. Support for the far-right has mounted as Sweden’s ability to house and integrate the new arrivals comes under strain. An opinion poll yes- terday showed the Sweden Democrats garnering 15.7 percent of voter sympathies, up from the 12.9 percent it won in the 2014 election when it became the country’s third-largest party.

Through geographical and thematic task forces, members provide ECFR staff with advice and feedback on policy ideas and help with ECFR’s activities within their own countries. The Council is chaired by Martti Ahtisaari, Joschka Fischer and Mabel van Oranje. • a physical presence in the main EU member states.
