    Master Thesis
    The Eu's Security Actorness in the South Caucasus Region After the August 2008 War
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2018) Tok, Gizem; Çelikpala, Mitat
    Regionalism has always been in the international era. Regionalism studies has attracted the attention of academics since the end of the Cold War. However, regionalism is divided into two waves as old and new regionalism. The former appeared after the end of World War II (the 1950s) and became influential until 1980s. The latter appeared after end of the Cold War (1980s onwards). There are some distinctions between the two waves of regionalism in terms of the structure, arguments and interest areas. However; there is a transitionary period within them which leads to continuation of mutual characteristics. It is important to evaluate the regionalism approach in historical and world context. After deep evaluation of the regionalism with its two waves; the thesis will explain the Regionalism in the European Union. The new regionalism constitutes the main period which explains the foreign policy relations of the EU with respect to both its internal and external dynamics. The new regionalism approach of the EU provides a coherent framework to understand the EU's neigbourhood policies in the South Caucasus region. This thesis focuses on a specific policy tool and period from the security dimension perspective: The Eastern Partnership Policy and the August 2008 War. The historical background and historical context are taken into consideration in order to analyze the EaP after the end of the August 2008 War.

    Turkish Efforts in Peacekeeping and the Introduction of the Tubakov Dataset: an Exploratory Analysis
    (Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Yalçınkaya, Haldun; Hatipoğlu, Emre; Acar, Dilaver Arikan; Çelikpala, Mitat
    This study introduces the TUBAKOV dataset which offers extensive data on 57 peacekeeping operations (PKOs) that Turkey has contributed to between the years 1988-2015. TUBAKOV improves existing data in several ways. First it draws data from governmental resources that have not been previously used. Second Turkey's contributions for each PKO are presented both at the levels of PKO and PKO-contribution year format. The website of the dataset also allows access to qualitative data such as primary text sources hence facilitating qualitative and multi-method research on peacekeeping. Preliminary analyses indicate that the frequency nature and the geographic focus of Turkey's contributions to peacekeeping operations demonstrate a significant shift with the new millennium. Preliminary findings offer interesting insights to the changing characteristics of Turkey's PKO involvements relating to the content geography and timing of these contributions over the time period covered by this dataset.

    Turkish-russian Relations İn Search Of A Way Out Of The Rivalry-competition Dilemma(article) [rekabet ve Işbirliği Ikileminde Yönünü Arayan Türk-rus Ilişkileri]
    (Ahmet Yesevi University, 2015) Çelikpala, Mitat
    Cooperation and strategic partnerships are the main concepts utilized in defining current Turkish-Russian relations. This new discourse indicates a fundamental transformation in bilateral relations and the removal of competition from the discourse that has been dominant in the 1990s. In addition, both actors aimed at Eurasia as the target region to further their common interests and bilateral cooperation. That represents another shift in the course of Turkish Foreign Policy making. This study aims at questioning the causes and consequences of the transformation of Turkish-Russian relations in both discourse and action.

    Energy security: Nato's new threat perception;
    (International Relations Council of Turkey, 2014) Çelikpala,M.
    Energy security could enter NATO's security agenda as one of the main issues just during the last decade. NATO leaders recognize that the disruption of the flow of vital resources could affect Alliance security interests. There is no agreement on the definition of energy security in NATO as it differs based on each country's needs; however, there is a paragraph in the NATO concept from 2010 that states the importance of energy security, and in 2012 there was further agreement that NATO wants to be involved in energy security and energy efficiency of military forces. This article is focused on the issue and analyses the importance and the meaning of energy security for NATO in the light of NATO summit declarations and the various NATO's strategic concepts.

    Rekabet ve İşbirliği İkileminde Yönünü Arayan Türk-rus İlişkileri
    (Ahmet Yesevi University, 2015) Çelikpala, Mitat
    Son dönem Türk-Rus ikili ilişkileri, işbirliği ve stratejik ortaklık söylemleri etrafında tanımlamaktadır. 1990’lı yıllara hâkim olan rekabet söyleminin yerini alan bu yeni bakış açısı, TürkRus ikili ilişkilerinin seyrinde temel bir dönüşüme işaret etmektedir. İki ülkenin ilişkilerini geliştirirken işbirliğinin boyutlanmasını sağlayacak hedef bölgesi olarak, 1990’lı yıllarda rekabetin en yoğun biçimde yaşandığı Avrasya’yı seçmesi ise, Türk Dış Politikasının genel çizgisi ve ikili ilişkilerin seyri açısından, yaşanan dönüşümün farklı bir yönüne işaret etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Türk-Rus ilişkilerinde yaşanan dönüşümün sebepleri ve sonuçları hem söylem hem de eylem boyutunda ve tarihsel süreç dikkate alınarak sorgulanmakta; bu dönüşümün Türkiye’nin Avrasya söylem ve politikalarına yansımalarının yanı sıra, Türk kamuoyu ile dış politika yapıcılarının rol tasavvurlarında gerçek bir dönüşümün söz konusu olup olmadığına cevaplar aranmaktadır.

    The Russian Policies in the South Caucasus
    (IOS Press, 2011) Çelikpala, Mitat
    In the post-2000 period, Russia's relations with the former Soviet geography, or its "near abroad," are dominated by such issues as energy, namely the dependence of the surrounding countries on Russia, changes in the trade patterns and the impact of globalization, the fight with terrorism, entrenched ethnic conflicts, and the enlargement of Western structures including NATO. In this general framework, the Caucasus has had a special importance for Russia due to its geopolitical and strategic position at the crossroads of energy transit lines, the existence of rich energy resources and the complexity of its ethnic structure. This article aims to analyze Russian Federation's Caucasus policy in a comprehensive manner.

    From "energy Bridge" To "energy Hub"?: Evolving Discourses of Geopolitics of Energy Transportation in Turkey (1991-2014)
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2019) Tahralı, Gülniyaz; Çelikpala, Mitat
    This dissertation is an attempt to incorporate the critical geopolitics approach into the debate of “Turkey’s geographical role in energy transportation” which became a part of Turkey’s discourse of geographical exceptionalism in the post-Cold War era. By analyzing the changes in the discourse of the political/governmental elites with a historical outlook, the dissertation tries to highlight the politicized and context-based nature of the concepts and metaphors that are attributed to the geographical role of Turkey in regional oil and gas pipeline projects. Moving from the assumption that discursive constructions on geography, rather than geography itself, determine a state’s position, the study examines how Turkey constructs geopolitical imaginations and images of energy transportation roles through its discourse and how it consequently shapes certain political spaces as a way of responding the contextual changes. The metaphors that are used in the discourse of Turkey’s geopolitical role in energy transportation, i.e. energy bridge, energy terminal, energy center, energy corridor, energy hub, energy trade center, etc. are hence evaluated as tools of preparing certain policy choices. The dissertation analyzes the issue in three chapters. In the first chapter, an overview of theoretical approaches of classical and critical geopolitics are given with their basic arguments, and emphasis is given to “discourse” and “practical geopolitics” as the main theoretical framework of the study. In the second chapter, the post-Cold War context and the discursive effort of Turkey for repositioning itself is explained as a background of its language of geopolitics. In the last chapter, the way geopolitical discourse of energy is established by the political elites is analyzed to show how Turkey constructs its geographical position in regional oil and gas pipeline projects and shapes policies.

    Türkiye için Nükleer Enerjinin Gerekliliği
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2011) Mercan, Kadir; Celikpala, Mitat
    Ekonomik açıdan gelişmekte olan ülkeler seviyesinde olan Türkiye, gelişmiş ülkeler seviyesine çıkmak isteyen bir ülkedir. Bu açıdan enerji, çok önemli bir kaynaktır. Yerli enerji kaynaklarının yetersiz olmasından dolayı Türkiye dışa bağımlıdır. Enerji kaynakları konusunda dışa bağımlı olmak, birtakım sıkıntıları da beraberinde getirmektedir. Bunların başında enerjiyi temin edememe sorunu gelir. 2009 yılında Rusya ile Ukrayna arasında yaşanan doğalgaz krizi sonucu, Türkiye ve Kıta Avrupa.sı, ya gaz temin edememiş ya da eksik gaz gelmesi sonucu büyük risk altına girmiştir. Arzdaki azalma ya da temindeki zorlukların fiyatları yükseltmesi de bir başka risktir. Bu durum ekonominin sıkıntıya girmesinin yanı sıra günlük hayatımızın kalitesinin düşme riski dahi ortaya çıkabilir. Bunun yaşanmaması açısından bir alternatif olarak özellikle son dönemde öne çıkan nükleer enerji güvenilir bir enerji kaynağıdır. Bu alternatif ile Türkiye enerji arz güvenliğini sağlama konusunda önemli bir adım atmış olacaktır. Bunun yanı sıra nükleer enerji kapsamında yeni uluslararası işbirliği fırsatları doğacaktır. Rusya ile yapılan ikili anlaşma bunun bir göstergesidir. Devamı halinde farklı ülkeler ile sağlıklı ilişkiler kurmak yolunda önemli adımlar atılabilmesinin de önü açılacaktır. Ayrıca Türkiye tabi olduğu Kyoto Protokolü gereği karbon emisyonlarını düşürme zorunluluğundadır. Bu anlamda nükleer enerji düşük karbon emisyonu açısından iyi bir alternatiftir. Diğer yandan bu gelişmiş teknolojinin transferi halinde teknolojik anlamda bir bağımsızlık elde edilmiş olacaktır. Bu teknolojiye sahip olmak ayrıca bir saygınlık meselesidir. Nükleer enerjiden elde edilen elektrik pahalı bir enerji elde edinim türü değildir. Kömürden ucuz olmasının yanı sıra bazı durumlarda doğalgazdan daha ucuz olabilmektedir.

    Turkey and the Changing Energy Geopolitics of Eurasia
    (Elsevier Science, 2019) Ersen, Emre; Çelikpala, Mitat
    While Turkeys geographical location is usually viewed as a major advantage in the energy sphere since many countries in its immediate neighbourhood require active Turkish collaboration in order to export or import oil and natural gas via economically feasible pipeline projects the ongoing political economic and military conflicts between the same global and regional actors not only negatively affect the development of the energy transportation routes in Eurasia but also present a major foreign policy challenge for Ankara that has traditionally sought to maintain a careful balance in its relations with the West and Russia. The goal of this article is to elaborate on the influence of such geopolitical factors in evaluating Turkeys role in terms of the oil and natural gas pipelines that are either planned or already under construction to connect the various sub-regions of Eurasia. Employing a traditional geopolitical approach it seeks to understand what kind of geopolitical factors come into play regarding Turkey's role in the changing energy geopolitics of Eurasia and in what ways these geopolitical factors strengthen or weaken Turkeys objective to be perceived as a regional energy hub by other actors.
