Keeping Security and Peace: Behind the Strategicalization of NATO’s ‘Critical Security Discourse'

Sovyetler Birliği’nin 1991’de sona ermesiyle NATO kendi varlığının meşruiyetini yeniden temellendirme sürecine girmiştir. NATO bu meşruiyet zeminini öncelikle söylemsel olarak oluşturmakta ve bunun inşasını yaparken “Gelecek Güvenliği Riski” söylemi üzerinden politikasını belirlemektedir. Bu makale, NATO’nun varlığının meşruiyetinin inşa sürecini, söylem analizi yöntemiyle inceleyerek, NATO’nun günümüzdeki amacının yapı taşlarına ışık tutmayı ve bu bağlamda da bu “yeni” NATO’nun varlık sebebini belirleyen ve etkileyen faktörleri ortaya çıkarmayı hedeflemektedir.

Güvenliği ve barışı koruma: Nato'nun ' kritik güvenlik söylemi'ni stratejikleştirmenin ardında yatan nedenler

After the implosion of the Soviet Union in 1991, NATO entered an era where it wants to re-establish the legitimacy of its existence. Throughout its two NATO New Strategic Concepts (1999 and 2010), NATO has been constructing its Post-Cold War legitimacy in producing its own identity-discourse and meaning of security which will determines its global policy based on a “Future Security Risks” narrative. Analyzing the construction process of the legitimacy of NATO’s existence by using Discourse Analysis Method, this study attempts to shed light on the “building blocks” of NATO’s contemporary purpose, and accordingly, the factors that determine the purpose of its existence in a globalized world.
