The article analyses the change in paradigm of Turkish Foreign Policy with reference to Post-Cold War. The article has two main assumptions: (i) The international system mainly determines the foreign policy of any state (ii) Post-Cold War is a multi-polar international system with three sub-periods. The article understands the strategy and objectives of Turkish Foreign Policy for each sub-period to identify the paradigm change of it. The article concludes that Turkey has adopted a complementary alliance with West in its foreign policy, but endeavored to conduct an ideologist alliance the remainder states of Ottoman Empire after 2008
本文以冷战后为参照,分析了土耳其外交政策范式的变化。本文主要有两个假设:(1)国际体系主要决定任何国家的外交政策;(2)冷战后是一个多极国际体系,分为三个子时期。本文分析了土耳其外交政策在各个时期的战略和目标,以确定土耳其外交政策的范式变化。文章的结论是,土耳其在外交政策上采取了与西方的互补联盟,但在2008年后,土耳其努力与奥斯曼帝国的其余国家建立意识形态联盟

Eritrea's Relation with IGAD and the OAU/AU: the Domestic and International Dynamics 厄立特里亚与伊加特和非统组织/非盟的关系:国内和国际动态

The state of Eritrea joined the club of sovereign states on the early years of the 1990s. Though many were optimist of the new state's contribution for enhanced interstate cooperation in the volatile horn of Africa region, the early years' optimism never stayed longer and the Eritrean state soon begun to collide with the states of the region and beyond. Since the mid-1990s, the relationship between the state of Eritrea and her four immediate neighbors i.e. Sudan, Yemen, Ethiopia and Djibouti, have witnessed irregularities ranging from diplomatic confrontation to armed clashes. The armed clashes ranged from the bloody Ethio-Eritrean war of 1998 to 2000, which was estimated to have consumed the life of at least 70,000 individuals from both sides, to the minor and ad hoc clashes with the forces of Djibouti in June 2008. The Eritrean state's rough relation with the neighboring states is replicated as far as the relationship with the Intergovernmental Organizations is concerned. Particularly, the state's relationship with the African Intergovernmental Organizations is irregular for large part to date. On these background, this article tries to explicit the dynamics of the foreign policy and relations of Eritrea focusing on the country's relation with the two African Intergovernmental Organizations (one sub-regional and the other regional) by using historical descriptive methodology and the three major levels of analysis in international relations as the framework of analysis.
厄立特里亚于上世纪90年代初加入了主权国家俱乐部。尽管许多人对这个新国家在动荡的非洲之角地区加强国家间合作的贡献持乐观态度,但早年的乐观情绪并没有持续太久,厄立特里亚国家很快就开始与该地区及其他地区的国家发生冲突。自20世纪90年代中期以来,厄立特里亚与其四个近邻(苏丹、也门、埃塞俄比亚和吉布提)之间的关系出现了从外交对抗到武装冲突的不正常现象。武装冲突的范围从1998年至2000年的埃塞俄比亚-厄立特里亚血腥战争,估计双方至少有7万人丧生,到2008年6月与吉布提部队的小规模临时冲突。厄立特里亚国家与邻国的粗暴关系在与政府间组织的关系方面得到了复制。特别是,国家与非洲政府间组织的关系在很大程度上是不正常的。在此背景下,本文试图明确厄立特里亚的外交政策和关系的动态,重点关注该国与两个非洲政府间组织(一个次区域和另一个区域)的关系,采用历史描述方法和国际关系中的三个主要分析层面作为分析框架。

Elite Perceptions and Nigeria's Foreign Policy Process 精英观念与尼日利亚外交政策进程
Pub Date : 2014-06-01 DOI: 10.21599/ATJIR.14421

The study examined the perception of Nigerian elites on the role of the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in foreign policy formulation and implementation. It investigated how the nature and structure of the Nigerian State shaped the nation's foreign policy bureaucracy as represented by the MFA. The study employed primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through unstructured interview. Respondents were purposively selected from the academia as well as from among the senior officers of the MFA, the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA) and the Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies (IPCS) totaling 25 altogether. The eligibility criteria included knowledge of and contribution to the subject matter, as well as expertise and active participation in Nigeria's foreign policy process. Secondary data were sourced from official documents, books, journals, newspapers, news magazines, and Internet-based materials. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis. From the result, 75% of respondents perceived the MFA as simply a rubber-stamp for the desires and preferences of the President and their kitchen cabinet. 65% of respondents held the view that the Federal Cabinet, National Assembly, think-tanks, and research-based institutions that should be decision units alongside the MFA, appeared to be for the most part, sidelined in foreign policy making. About 60% of respondents submitted that the political, socio-economic, religious, linguistic and ethnical configuration of the Nigerian state and its characteristic differences, impinged on foreign policy decisions and pursuits. The study concluded that the role of Nigeria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in many cases was undermined. It was seen to be more visible in foreign policy implementation than in decision-making; allowed only marginal roles in decision making or simply used as mere administrative machinery to implement the desires and preferences of the political head and their kitchen cabinet.
该研究调查了尼日利亚精英对尼日利亚外交部(MFA)在外交政策制定和实施中的作用的看法。它调查了尼日利亚政府的性质和结构如何影响以外交部为代表的国家外交政策官僚机构。本研究采用了第一手和第二手资料。主要资料采用非结构化访谈法收集。有目的地从学术界以及外交部、尼日利亚国际事务研究所和和平与冲突研究所的高级官员中挑选了回答者,共计25人。资格标准包括对该主题的知识和贡献,以及专门知识和积极参与尼日利亚外交政策进程。辅助数据来源于官方文件、书籍、期刊、报纸、新闻杂志和基于互联网的材料。数据采用主题内容分析法进行分析。从结果来看,75%的受访者认为外交部只是总统及其内阁的愿望和偏好的橡皮图章。65%的受访者认为,联邦内阁、国民议会、智库和研究机构应该与外交部一起成为决策单位,但在外交政策制定中,它们似乎在很大程度上被边缘化了。约60%的答复者认为,尼日利亚国家的政治、社会经济、宗教、语言和种族结构及其特征差异影响了外交政策的决定和追求。该研究的结论是,尼日利亚外交部在许多情况下的作用被削弱了。它被认为在外交政策的执行中比在决策中更为明显;只允许在决策中发挥边缘作用,或者仅仅被用作执行政治首脑及其内阁的愿望和偏好的行政机器。

Religion as a Factor in Israeli-Turkish Relations: A Constructivist Overlook 宗教作为以色列-土耳其关系的一个因素:建构主义的忽视

The influence of religion in the foreign policy has recently begun to be discussed among the scholars of international relations field. That the role of religion as an attribute of individuals and communities and in its institutional connections with the state cannot be ignored has started to be widely accepted. This study argues that besides the material reasons stemming from realpolitik, there are also behind the scene, certain 'cultural codes'i?œ that have played an important role on the actions and discourses of Turkey's leaders on the foreign policies and especially on the deterioration of Israeli - Turkish relations. This study seeks to find the effects, if there are, of religion in the Israeli - Turkish relations by exemplifying Turkey in its relations with Israel to see whether the recent rupture is a result of the religious orientation of AKP government.
宗教对外交政策的影响是近年来国际关系学界开始讨论的问题。宗教作为个人和社区的一种属性及其与国家的制度联系所起的作用不容忽视,这一点已开始被广泛接受。这项研究认为,除了源于现实政治的物质原因外,背后还有某些“文化规范”。在土耳其领导人关于外交政策的行动和言论中,特别是在以色列和土耳其关系恶化的问题上,这些因素发挥了重要作用。本研究试图通过举例说明土耳其与以色列的关系,找出宗教对以色列-土耳其关系的影响,看看最近的破裂是否是正义与发展党政府宗教取向的结果。

Rethinking the Conflict- Proneness of Oil-Rentiers State in Historical Context 历史背景下食利国冲突倾向的再思考
Pub Date : 2014-02-01 DOI: 10.21599/ATJIR.73706
Muhammed Kürsad Ozekin and, Zeynep Ariöz
With the rise of intra-state conflicts in the Middle East, particularly in the last two decades, the causality relationship between oil wealth and political stability has become a matter of debate in the literature. However, despite the proliferating research interest, the impact of oil revenues on regime stability and civil conflicts still remains contested in both theoretical and empirical terms. Bearing this limitation in mind, this article aims to present a fairly general but analytically broadened framework to explain the relationship between the decline of the oil-rentier states, and the rise of intra-state conflicts experienced in the Middle East in the past two decades. Putting matter into the historical context of the state formation and the colonial legacy in the Middle East this study presents a slightly different reading of the causality relation between oil revenue and the conflict-proneness of rentier states. Thus this article, to a certain extent, moves beyond the conventional explanations of the rentier state theory and argues that oil revenue cannot be taken as an explanatory variable of conflicts per se.
随着中东国家内部冲突的增加,特别是在过去的二十年里,石油财富和政治稳定之间的因果关系已经成为文献中争论的问题。然而,尽管研究兴趣激增,石油收入对政权稳定和国内冲突的影响在理论和实证方面仍然存在争议。考虑到这一限制,本文旨在提出一个相当一般但分析上更广泛的框架,来解释过去二十年来中东地区石油食利国的衰落与国内冲突的兴起之间的关系。将问题置于中东国家形成和殖民遗产的历史背景下,本研究对石油收入与食利国冲突倾向之间的因果关系提出了略微不同的解读。因此,本文在一定程度上超越了食利者国家理论的传统解释,认为石油收入不能作为冲突本身的解释变量。

Sustainable Democracy and the Paradox of the Arab Spring: The Egypt Experience 可持续民主与阿拉伯之春的悖论:埃及的经验
Pub Date : 2014-02-01 DOI: 10.21599/ATJIR.99474
Etemike Laz
The Arab spring began with an uprising in Tunisia and subsequently spread to Egypt, Bahrain, Morocco, libya,Yemen and Syria. The protest has been referred to as the Arab spring or the Arab democratic revolution. The Arab revolt explains a component of a great collective shift from long tenure and authoritarian rule. The aftermath of the transition from authoritarianism to democracy should have been the establishment of independent democratic structures. This is the only way a sustainable democracy can be guaranteed. This is where such factors as religion (Islam), monarchies, military and fundamentalism, come to be a crucial factor in analysing and assessing the success or failure of the Arab democratic revolution. This paper is of the opinion that a sustainable democracy within the Arab world cannot be guaranteed, in view of the above contesting variables for political/state power and influence. Each of these variables is not only anti democratic but present a contradiction in democracy. Eygpt experience is instructive. What is needed is a framework to mange and structure these diversities toward providing sustainable democratic political institutions that are in consonance with democratic tenet without radically changing the norms, values and nuances of the Arab society.
阿拉伯之春始于突尼斯的起义,随后蔓延到埃及、巴林、摩洛哥、利比亚、也门和叙利亚。这次抗议活动被称为阿拉伯之春或阿拉伯民主革命。阿拉伯人的反抗解释了长期独裁统治的集体转变的一个组成部分。从威权主义向民主主义过渡的后果本应是建立独立的民主结构。这是保证可持续民主的唯一途径。因此,宗教(伊斯兰教)、君主制、军事和原教旨主义等因素成为分析和评估阿拉伯民主革命成败的关键因素。本文认为,鉴于上述政治/国家权力和影响力的竞争变量,阿拉伯世界内的可持续民主无法得到保证。这些变量不仅是反民主的,而且是民主的矛盾。埃及的经验很有启发意义。我们需要的是一个框架来管理和构建这些多样性,以提供符合民主原则的可持续的民主政治机构,而不会从根本上改变阿拉伯社会的规范、价值观和细微差别。

An Empirical Look to the Arab Spring: Causes and Consequences 阿拉伯之春的实证研究:原因与后果
Pub Date : 2014-02-01 DOI: 10.21599/ATJIR.15384
Muhammed Kürsad Ozekin and, H. Akkaş
This article pursues two main objectives. First, mainly drawing on empirical evidences rather than journalistic impressions and reports on the Arap Spring, it aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the sets of socio-economic and socio-political factors that have been deeply rooted in the region for more than half a century and which have driven (and continue to drive) a wave of uprisings across the region commonly labelled as the 'Arab Spring'. Thus, this study expects to present a slightly different reading of the Arap Spring by placing the issue into the socio-economic and socio-political context of the recent past. Secondly, by considering a range of factors such as the responses of the regimes, the role of security forces, the ethnic and sectarian makeup of the societies and the politico-institutional feature of states, it explains how the unfolding of events has differed from country to country and why some uprisings have succeeded in toppling regimes and others have not.
本文有两个主要目标。首先,主要利用经验证据,而不是对阿拉伯之春的新闻印象和报道,它旨在提供对社会经济和社会政治因素的深入分析,这些因素在半个多世纪以来深深扎根于该地区,并推动(并继续推动)整个地区的起义浪潮,通常被称为“阿拉伯之春”。因此,本研究希望通过将问题置于最近的社会经济和社会政治背景中,对阿拉伯之春提出略微不同的解读。其次,通过考虑一系列因素,如政权的反应,安全部队的作用,社会的种族和宗派构成以及国家的政治制度特征,它解释了事件的发展如何因国而异,以及为什么一些起义成功地推翻了政权,而另一些却没有。

Looking Within and Without: The Path to Tread by Muslims 内观与外观:穆斯林走过的路
Pub Date : 2014-02-01 DOI: 10.21599/ATJIR.95723
Shams Ahmad
There is no doubt that relation between the Muslim world and the West is often dominated by simmering distrust and antagonistic feelings although they may not always boil over. Tensions and recriminations abound and so do arguments and justifications. The need to find common grounds do not get translated into intentions or sincere efforts to move forward as the past casts a long shadow over the present. Typecasting a billion-plus fellow human beings or their faith as objects of dread or hatred as is being done by the West through fomenting Islamophobia needs to be prevented. Muslims must be able to reassert their true identity and earn their rightful place in a world dominated by Western power and influence. This may begin to happen if Muslims denounce and repudiate all the wrong that is being done in the name of their great religion, speak for themselves, develop religious and community leaders who are well equipped to impart the right knowledge and effectively address contemporary issues that confront Muslim societies and countries, and revive the spirit and unity of the ummah. Only then can they effectively fight not just the menace of Islamophobia, but also the injustices and discrimination in their own countries and those that are perpetrated by the West. The West must also turn their gaze inward and admit their role in creating this 'Great Divide'; they need to realize that their overbearing attitude toward Muslims and relentless depiction of the latter as their common folk devil will inevitably have undesirable, serious, and long-term consequences.
毫无疑问,穆斯林世界和西方世界之间的关系经常被酝酿中的不信任和敌对情绪所主导,尽管它们可能并不总是沸腾。紧张和相互指责比比皆是,争论和辩解也比比皆是。由于过去给现在蒙上了长长的阴影,寻找共同点的需要并没有转化为前进的意图或真诚的努力。像西方通过煽动伊斯兰恐惧症所做的那样,将10多亿人类同胞或他们的信仰定型为恐惧或仇恨的对象,这是需要防止的。穆斯林必须能够重申他们的真实身份,并在一个由西方力量和影响力主导的世界中赢得他们应有的地位。如果穆斯林谴责和否定所有以他们伟大宗教的名义所做的错误,为自己说话,培养宗教和社区领袖,他们有能力传授正确的知识,有效地解决穆斯林社会和国家面临的当代问题,并重振乌玛的精神和团结,这一切就有可能开始发生。只有这样,他们才能不仅有效地对抗伊斯兰恐惧症的威胁,还能有效地对抗本国和西方犯下的不公正和歧视。西方也必须把目光转向国内,承认自己在制造这种“大鸿沟”中所扮演的角色;他们需要意识到,他们对穆斯林的傲慢态度以及将后者无情地描述为他们共同的民间恶魔,将不可避免地产生不良的、严重的和长期的后果。

Only then can they effectively fight not just the menace of Islamophobia, but also the injustices and discrimination in their own countries and those that are perpetrated by the West. The West must also turn their gaze inward and admit their role in creating this 'Great Divide'; they need to realize that their overbearing attitude toward Muslims and relentless depiction of the latter as their common folk devil will inevitably have undesirable, serious, and long-term consequences.","PeriodicalId":7411,"journal":{"name":"Alternatives: Turkish Journal of International Relations","volume":"91 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89133530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EU Governance: Struggle Between Cooperation and Competition 欧盟治理:合作与竞争的斗争

EU governance is characterized as a multi-level system in which various actors are involved in the policy-making procedure at multiple levels in a non-hierarchical way. During the course of the European integration process, EU governance has been brought forward as a response to the citizens' quest for a legitimacy through enhanced democratization in the decision-making mechanisms and as a tool that would increase the leverage and competitiveness of the EU to have an efficient way of functioning for the enlargement of the Union. In that respect, the legitimacy and the representative power of the EU and its institutions are put under scrutiny, as powerful and at the same time efficient decision-making mechanisms are necessary for the EU. However, although significant changes are enshrined in the Lisbon Treaty regarding the decision-making procedure and policy outcomes, it has been limited with struggle between cooperation and competition at vertical and horizontal levels under the shadow of supranational hierarchy that has created mistrust on the EU institutions and decision-making structures from the perspective of citizens. The article addresses this issue on the grounds of the reasons and the circumstances in which EU governance emerged, the principles and characteristics it is based on, the means and ways it utilizes, and the effects on the decision-making process of the EU.
欧盟治理的特点是一个多层次的系统,在这个系统中,不同的行为者以一种非等级的方式参与多层次的决策过程。在欧洲一体化进程中,欧盟治理作为对公民通过加强决策机制的民主化来寻求合法性的回应而被提出,并作为一种工具来增加欧盟的杠杆和竞争力,从而为欧盟的扩大提供有效的运作方式。在这方面,欧盟及其机构的合法性和代表权受到审查,因为强大而同时高效的决策机制对欧盟来说是必要的。然而,尽管《里斯本条约》在决策程序和政策结果方面发生了重大变化,但在超国家等级制度的阴影下,它在纵向和横向层面上的合作与竞争之间的斗争受到限制,这从公民的角度造成了对欧盟机构和决策结构的不信任。本文将从欧盟治理产生的原因和环境、所依据的原则和特点、运用的手段和方式以及对欧盟决策过程的影响等方面对这一问题进行论述。
