Abstract
Description
Rusya yanlısı takip ettiği politika ve Batı ile normal ilişkiler kuramamasından kaynaklanan nedenlerle Belarus eleştirilerin hedefi olmaktadır. Bu eleştirileri bertaraf etmek için Belarus yönetimi muhtelif zamanlarda çok yönlü (vektörlü) ve pro-aktif dış politika uygulama girişimlerinde bulunmuştur. Ancak istenilen seviyede bir başarı sağlanamamıştır. Bu makalede Belarus dış politikasını belirleyen yapısal faktörler bağımsızlık sonrasından günümüze geçen süreçlerde vaka analizi yöntemiyle karşılaştırmalı incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda, Belarus'un bazı Asya, Afrika, Latin Amerika ve Arap ülkeleriyle ilişkilerini etkileyen değişkenler, belirleyicilerin dış politika üzerinde nasıl bir etki yarattığını göstermek için analiz edilmiştir. Belarus dış politikasının gelişimde bağımsızlık sonrası yapılan anayasal ve yasal düzenlemeler etkili olmuştur. Bununla birlikte, 25 yıldan beri aynı politik liderin tek başına aldığı kararlar büyük oranda Belarus dış politikasının yönünü belirlemiştir.
Belarus has been subject to criticisms for its policy in favor of Russia and its inability to establish normal relations with the West. In order to eliminate these criticisms, the Belarusian government has attempted to implement a multifaceted (vector) and proactive foreign policy at various times. However, the desired level of success has not been achieved. In this article, by utilizing the case study analysis method, it is aimed to examine the structural factors that determine the Belarusian foreign policy from its independence to present. In this context, the variables that affect the relations of Belarus with some Asian, African, Latin American and Arab countries were analyzed to show how the determinants have had influence on the foreign policy. As a result, it is understood that the constitutional and legal amendments made after independence were effective in the development of Belarusian foreign policy, and the decisions taken by Aleksandr Lukashenko, who ruled the country for 25 years without interruption, played an important role in these changes.
