    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.

    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’s Black Sea Policy for Energy Security
    (RUDN University, 2023) Celikpala,M.; Tatlioglu,E.
    Türkiye’s foreign policy has recently taken on a more autonomous trajectory, less directly tied to European Union (EU) or NATO policies. Notably, the Black Sea region stands out as an area where Türkiye has charted an independent and distinctive course. The Black Sea region’s growing importance underscores the need to define Türkiye’s policy that contributes to stability in the region. Recent conflicts involving Russia, Ukraine, and Georgia, as well as the interest of non-regional actors, have heightened the region’s security concerns and energy security risks. Understanding Türkiye’s role in this context is essential for international relations scholars, policymakers, and practitioners. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Cold War environment of military competition was replaced by an environment of cooperation and collaboration in the Black Sea region, combining political, economic, and cultural goals. However, the emerging conflicts between some littorals, such as Russia and Georgia in 2008 and Russia and Ukraine in 2014 and 2022, have caused a change in the perception of security and stability of the region. Thus, the interest of external actors in the Black Sea has increased and their attempts have begun to demonstrate a greater presence in the region. This has induced circumstances that increase the risk of conflict in the region and threaten energy security. Furthermore, the region has attracted the interest of non-littoral states, which has led to new challenges. In light of these developments, the authors seek to provide an objective examination of Türkiye’s Black Sea policy, emphasizing its growing significance within the region’s evolving dynamics and energy security concerns. In addition, the main pillars of Türkiye’s Black Sea policy under the principle of regional ownership will be discussed. © Celikpala M., Tatlioglu E., 2023.

    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.

    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.

    Enerji Güvenliği: Nato’nun Yeni Tehdit Algısı
    (Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği İktisadi İşletmesi, 2014) Çelikpala, Mitat
    Enerji güvenliği, ana amacı İttifak üyelerini askeri tehditlere karşı savunmak olan NATO’nun öncelikli konu başlıkları arasına ancak son on yılda girebilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, NATO’nun Soğuk Savaş sonrası dönemde düzenlenen zirvelerinde yayınlanan zirve bildirgeleri ve stratejik konseptler ile çeşitli NATO zeminlerinde yapılan tartışmalar ışığında, enerji güvenliğinin NATO için taşıdığı anlam ve önem üzerinde durulmaktadır. NATO’nun enerji güvenliği kavramına yaklaşımı değerlendirilerek, önümüzdeki süreçte enerji güvenliği konusunun NATO çerçevesinde ne yönde şekillenebileceği ortaya konmaya çalışılmaktadır.

    Türkiye ve Kafkasya: Reaksiyoner Dış Politikadan Proaktif Ritmik Diplomasiye Geçiş
    (Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği İktisadi İşletmesi, 2010) Çelikpala, Mitat
    Ağustos 2008 Rus-Gürcü savaşının yarattığı sonuçlar sadece Kafkasları değil, neredeyse tüm küresel dengeleri derinden etkilemiştir. Savaşın başlattığı olaylar zincirinin, son dönemde bölgesel bir güç olarak içinde yer aldığı coğrafyalarda aktif bir dış politika izleme iddiasındaki Türkiye’ye etkisi doğrudandır. Gelişmelere gösterilen tepkiler ve şekillendirilmeye çalışılan “yeni” bakış açısı, çevresinde istikrarı sağlamaya ve sorunlara çözüm üretmeye çalışan bölgesel bir aktör olarak konumlanan Türkiye’nin politikalarının tartışılmasına neden olmuştur. Kafkaslar, “komşularla sıfır sorun”, “sorun değil çözüm üreten ülke” ve “ritmik diplomasi” gibi bir takım yeni söylemlerle, yeni ve etkin bir dış politika çizgisi oluşturmaya çalışan Türkiye’nin, dış politika süreçleri ve etkinliğinin izlenebileceği ilgi çekici örneklerden biri haline gelmiştir. Kafkasya’da yaşanan gelişmelere yönelik olarak Türkiye’nin izlediği politikalar, genel olarak Türk dış politikasının seyrini, hedefl erini ve dış politika yapım süreçlerini anlamada yardımcı olacaktır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye’nin Ağustos 2008 sonrası dönemde Kafkaslarda izlediği dış politikanın kapsamlı bir değerlendirmesini yapmaktadır.

    Turkish Navy's Move 'towards Blue Waters': Its Origins, Development and Implementation
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2021) Özel, Mesut; Çelikpala, Mitat; Kahyaoğlu, Nurhan; Güvenç, Serhat
    After the Cold War, Turkish Navy faced a significant stimulus for change because of major alterations in strategic calculus, military planning, and waging war. To cope with pressing security challenges, Navy charted itself a new course, Towards Blue Waters in the 1990s. Navy's growth and activism, and its role in the progress of defense industries attracted both commendation and criticism. Differences of opinion on the Navy's posture compel a thorough review of the main drivers of change. Focusing on the last three decades, this dissertation endeavors to uncover the geopolitical, strategic, historical, cultural, institutional, political, and economic factors behind this move. Taking this as an idiographic case, the toolbox of the sociological institutionalist model is utilized in explaining Navy's new strategy. Therefore, the process-tracing method is employed by interviewing naval elites/experts and value analysis of leaders' remarks to empirically verify the theoretical explanation. After discussing the historical, cultural, and geopolitical determinants, the case is studied theoretically. Then, the performance of transformation is compared against its promised goals. This research concludes that the institutionalist model provides solid explanations for Navy's adoption of a worldwide norm: projecting security and force. By internalizing the notion of unimpaired access to the world as its organizational essence, the Navy's leaders, who are subscribed to the goal of Turkey's quest to become a sovereign, credible and legitimate member of the international community, figure as the engines for this transformation. In the process, the Navy relied on its skilled and educated manpower as the prime enabler.
