Other To Abolish Nuclear Weapons, Strip Away Their Handsome Mask(2016) Kibaroğlu, MustafaThe golden age of deterrence has reached its end. Nuclear weapons, once a star player on the international stage, no longer enjoy a place in the limelight.To be sure, some policy makers still ascribe to nuclear weapons the same prestige that, during the Cold War, they gained because of their unmatched destructive power and the leverage they provided nuclear weapon states in the international arena. But the Cold War environment, in which nuclear weapons in the hands of two superpowers played a vital role in maintaining strategic stability, doesn’t exist anymore. Nor is it likely to be replicated in the future—despite certain parallels between US-Soviet relations during the Cold War and present-day US-Russia relations. Meanwhile, it is painfully obvious that nuclear deterrence is useless against apocalyptic terrorist organizations motivated by religious extremism. If such a group acquired and used a nuclear weapon, there would be no “return address” toward which retaliation could be directed. And apocalyptic terrorists probably don’t fear destruction in the first place.Article Dış Politika Analizinde Karar Verme Süreci ve Karar Verme Modelleri(Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, 2018) Güleç, CansuDış Politika Analizi (DPA) alanında çalışmalar yapan araştırmacılar, karar alma sürecini etkile- dikleri sürece bütün analiz düzeylerinden elde edilebilecek açıklayıcı değişkenlerden faydalan- maktadırlar. DPA’nın ilgi alanı başta devletler olmak üzere çeşitli coğrafyalarda karşımıza çıkan çeşitli aktörlerin birbirleriyle etkileşimini incelemek olarak tanımlanabilir. Bu bakış örgütleri, kurumları, partileri, kültürel oluşumları ve bunları oluşturan insanları odağa yerleştirmektedir. DPA bakımından bu etkileşimin en önemli unsuru olarak karar vericiler, başka bir ifadeyle bi- reyler, kabul edilmektedir. Ancak, söz konusu bireylerin rasyonel varsayılması, sosyal bağlam, inanç, algılama, istek gibi niteliklerin görmezden gelinerek mekanik bir sürece oturtulması sonucunu da beraberinde getirebilir. Bu sebepten bu çalışmada, birey odaklı analiz temele alınmakla beraber, sosyal yapıları da bir ölçüde analize dahil eden bir yaklaşım ortaya konma- ya çalışılacak, dış politika kararlarının oluştuğu bürokratik süreçler de incelenerek kurumlar dışlanmayacaktır. Bu makalede, temel olarak birey, devlet, sistem olmak üzere üç analiz düzeyine değinildikten sonra, DPA’da Karar Verme Modelleri’ne ilişkin bir analiz ortaya koyulacaktır. Söz konusu inceleme, siyasal karar alma konusunda hangi modellerin geliştirildiğini ve hangi modelin uygulanabilir olup olmadığını çeşitli yönleriyle anlayabilmeyi amaçlamaktadır.Review Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 38State-Of Review of Transboundary Water Governance in the Euphrates–tigris River Basin(Taylor & Francis, 2019) Kibaroğlu, AyşegülThis article reviews the state of the art of transboundary water governance in the Euphrates–Tigris river basin, which is characterized by both political confrontation and cooperative institutional development. First, research on the physical characteristics of the basin is presented, with references to the literature on large-scale water development projects that underpin transboundary water interactions. Then, contending approaches to transboundary water governance are discussed, with specific references to the evolution of institutions. Finally, bearing in mind that transboundary water governance in the basin occurs in volatile political circumstances, current issues such as control of the water infrastructure by non-state violent actors and protection of water during armed conflict are scrutinized.Book Part Testing Soft Power in Hard Politics: Turkish Public Diplomacy During “Operation Peace Spring”(Palgrave Macmillan, 2025) Güleç Aras, Cansu; Kibaroğlu, MustafaPublic diplomacy is used by governments to significantly enhance their capability to maintain national unity and integrity as well as to advance their foreign policy objectives by cultivating a favorable environment among foreign peoples. In conflictual situations where military force is used, it is important to create an impact in a short time to promote national interests by informing and influencing the public. This chapter will first introduce the fundamental tenets of public diplomacy to offer a conceptual framework to better understand its use during military conflicts. It will then explore the implementation of public diplomacy instruments by Turkish government during the “Operation Peace Spring”, which was launched in October 2019. The chapter will also assess the performance of Turkish public diplomacy in the face of the extent of criticism leveled against Türkiye from around the world, including allied countries and international organizations. © 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Article Dağlık Karabağ Sorunu: Ermenistan için Çözümsüz Çatışma Olmasının Nedenleri(Milli Savunma Üniversitesi, 2015) Güleç, CansuThe conflict between Armenian and Azerbaijan around Nagorno-Karabakh was violent between 1988 and 1994. Nevertheless, Nagorno-Karabakh dispute is regarded as one of the frozen conflicts, which has been witnessed for many years. In order to stop and contain the conflict, other states and international organizations advocated peaceful settlement. However, the problem went through a number of phases and has not reached a final solution despite of many years of negotiation under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group. In this context, the objective of this paper is to understand the main impeding factors that prevent peaceful resolution and establishment of a long-lasting peace for Armenia. As a framework to analyze the case of Armenia-Azerbaijan dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh, this paper uses the "constructivist theory", which explains national histories and identities as fluid, evolving, and formed over time, and which claims that it is mainly social relationships between agents, structures, and institutions that can lead to ethnic conflicts. Contrary to the primordialist approach, which treats ethnic groups as concrete and independent entities that exist inherently, the explanation of intractability within a constructivist framework constitutes the main difference. In view of this, government policies are also constructed according to interstate perceptions, expectations and the concepts developed towards themselves and others. As a result, rather than only including one-dimensional "ancient hatred" paradigm; "the problem of security", "image of enemy", "other countries" involvement with having interests in the region", and most importantly "internal politics" can be regarded as the contributors to intractability for Armenia.Conference Object Other Prof. Dr. Kibaroğlu: Hava Savunma Sistemi Türkiye için Acil İhtiyaç(Star, 2017) Kibaroğlu, MustafaTürkiye’nin hali hazırda kısıtlı sayıda ve kısıtlı kapasitede hava savunma sistemleri var.

It includes macroeconomic and sector-specific laws, policies, regulations, support services, information structures and labor force preparedness. It sets the stage for all business activities that have to do with producing goods on farms and transporting them to processors and consumers. Understanding this environment can help create policies that facilitate doing business in agriculture and increase the investment attractiveness and competitiveness of countries.Conference Object 65 Years of Turkey-Nato Relations(BİLGESAM, 2018) Kibaroğlu, MustafaTurkey-NATO Relations was analysed.Article Türkiye’nin S-400 Macerasının 4 Yüzü(Dolmabahçe Basın Yayın Dağıtım, 2018) Kibaroğlu, MustafaABD’nin ve Avrupalı müttefiklerin ağız birliği yapmışçasına Türkiye’nin önce Çin’den sonra Rusya’dan HSS alma girişimlerine karşı çıkmalarının ardında Soğuk Savaş dönemindeki “Doğu-Batı” ideolojik kamplaşmasının etkilerinin de bulunduğunu söylemek yanlış olmayacaktır.Book Part Conference Object Diaspora Business: the Economic Contribution of Syrian Refugees To Turkey and Their Political Role in (post-)conflict Resolution (conferenceobject )(2016) Görmüş, EvrimWhile most research on the refugees has focused on the socio-economic burden that the refugees bring to the host countries, little has thus far been conducted on the contribution of the refugees’ business activity. Due to the continuing civil war in Syria a significant amount of Syrian capital flight funneled to Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt. This presentation aims to analyze the outcome of such flight by unpacking the different components among Syrian businessmen diaspora and scrutinizing the ways in which their positions within the displaced Syrian community affect their political and economic behaviors in the host countries.Conference Object Comparing Right-Wing Populist Parties’ Stance towards the Global Management of International Migration: Insights from Turkey and Hungary(2024) Saatçioğlu, BekenHow do ruling, right-wing populist parties approach the global management of international migration? This paper addresses this question by analyzing Hungary’s Fidesz and Turkey’s Justice and Development Party (AKP) in the context of the 2015 Syrian refugee crisis. It studies these parties’ discourses regarding the liberal international order (LIO) and the EU, and particularly, the latter’s proposed handling of the crisis. This fills a gap in the literature because ruling right-wing populist parties in middle-power states like Hungary and Turkey are seldom compared and the presence or absence of EU membership may make a difference in their arguments. The paper argues: (1) Fidesz and AKP selectively challenge the LIO and the EU within a populist foreign policy framework pitting “liberal, corrupt, global, EU elites” against the people (Christians for Fidesz, Syrian Muslim refugees for the AKP), (2) They differ because: (a) Fidesz’ challenges heavily focus on the EU while the AKP’s discourse extends to the global system and the UN, (b) Fidesz’ EU contestation revolves around the need to protect “Hungarian sovereignty” and “Christian European culture” from “Brussels elites” while AKP’s rhetoric primarily reflects expectations of satisfactory “transactionalism” from the EU.Book Part Nato'nun Suriye Stratejisi(SETA, 2016) Kibaroğlu, MustafaBu yazının amacı, aklın ve mantıgˆın geregˆi olarak sahip oldugˆu gu¨c¸lu¨ askeri ve lojistik imkan ve kabiliyetleri ile Suriye’de yas¸anan sorunun c¸o¨zu¨mu¨ ic¸in mu¨ttefiki Tu¨rkiye ile birlikte aktif bir s¸ekilde su¨rece dahil olması gereken NATO’nun, neden ve nasıl bugu¨ne kadar kararlı bir tutum takınmamıs¸ oldugˆunu anlamaya ve ac¸ıklamaya c¸alıs¸maktır.

This seemingly simple question can be understood in at least two ways. First, it’s a reaction to certain critics of the ban treaty initiative who believe that the initiative has little chance of forcing disarmament and therefore is a futile waste of time. Well, when you get right down to it, does anyone use his or her time in the most effective way possible, at all times, throughout life? Probably not! So how come engaging in intellectual discussion about a nuclear weapon ban treaty is an especially egregious waste of time?Other Turkey’s Nuclear Contradictions(Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 2015) Kibaroğlu, MustafaMy Round Two essay, which argued that Japan's stockpile of plutonium undercuts the disarmament message of the Hibakusha, seems to have been the inspiration for my colleague Akira Kawasaki to discuss "the double standards inherent in Japan's nuclear policies." Here in Round Three, I'll reciprocate by discussing the nuclear double standards of my own nation, Turkey.Conference Object Türk Dış Politikasının Manevra Alanı(SAM, 2019) Kibaroğlu, MustafaAğırlıklı olarak güvenlik konularıyla ilgili değerlendirmelerde bulunulmuş, ABD ve Rusya ile olan ilişkilerde ortaya çıkan hassas dengenin, Türkiye’nin dış politika ve güvenlik konularında kendini daha avantajlı bir konuma getirmesine katkı yapabilecek siyasi, iktisadi ve askeri unsurları tartışılmıştır.Article Heidegger's Conception of Poetic Dwelling Through Appropriation of History(Beytülhikme Felsefe Çerçevesi, 2021) Keki, BaşakThis paper explores the significance of poetic dwelling in Martin Heidegger's later thought in terms of its relevance to the essence of truth and his notion of the fourfold as world's disclosure. Heidegger emphasizes that the poetic provides us with a better understanding of our modern era, which is notable by the oblivion of Being. He regards history as a homecoming, which manifests itself when we remember that we are in a dialogue with the destining of Being. After clarifying the relationship between poetic dwelling and appropriation of history whilst referring to Friedrich Holderlin's hymn, "The Ister" ("Der Ister"), this paper argues that according to Heidegger, the precondition of participating in history is learning to listen and respond to the address of Being; which is only possible via the poetic which enables us to feel home and genuinely dwell on this earth.
