Uluslararası politika başta olmak üzere, ekonomik sistemler, jeokültürel yapı ve güvenlik paradigmalarında meydana gelen değişikliklerin küresel sistemi çok kutupluluğa evirdiği çağımızda Asya jeopolitiği yükselen bir değer olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır.
Eski Dünya’nın yeniden inkişafının tezahür ettiği günümüz Asya jeopolitiğine bakıldığında, küresel politika ve rekabetin iki ana alt bölgesel sistem üzerinden cereyan ettiği gerçeğini görmek mümkündür. Söz konusu iki alt bölgesel sistem ise Orta Asya ve Afganistan-Pakistan (AF-PAK) coğrafyalarını kapsamaktadır. Bir yandan yer altı ve yer üstü kaynakları, beşeri kapasitesi ve dünya ticaret yollarına ev sahipliği yapmaları gibi özellikleriyle ön plana çıkan bu bölgeler; diğer yandan da istikrarsızlaştırma girişimleri ve güvenlik bunalımları bağlamında uluslararası politikanın gündemini meşgul etmektedir.
Bu anlamda küresel liderlik mücadelesinin merkezi oyun alanlarının başında yer alan ve potansiyeli itibarıyla yükselen bir jeopolitiğe ev sahipliği yapan mevzubahis bölgelerin (Orta Asya ve AF-PAK) radikalleşme ve terör tehditleriyle bölge dışı aktörler tarafından istikrarsızlaştırılmaya çalışıldığı ve yabancı savaşçılar tehdidinin her geçen gün bölgenin bir realitesi haline geldiği görülmektedir. Böylece hâlihazırda Afganistan üzerinden yürütülen vekalet savaşlarının alanlarının genişletilmek istendiği aşikardır.
Ankara Kriz ve Siyaset Araştırmaları Merkezi (ANKASAM) olarak gerek bölgedeki barış, istikrar ve refahın ve gerekse de küresel düzeyde daha adil ve yaşanılabilir bir dünyanın inşası için yükselen Asya jeopolitiğindeki istikrarsızlaştırma girişimlerinin bölge devletlerinin çabalarıyla aşılması gerektiğine inanmaktayız. Bahse konu çabaların bölge devletlerinin müşterek sorunlarının çözümü noktasında ortak iradelerin ortaya konulması ve işbirliği süreçlerinin geliştirilmesi bağlamında ciddi öneme haiz olduğunu düşünmekteyiz.
Bu vizyon çerçevesinde bölgenin geleceği noktasında sorumluluk ve misyon üstlenme iddiasıyla ortak bir akıl geliştirilmesi ve bölgenin istikrar ve refahına yönelik arayışlara akademik bir perspektif ortaya konulması amacıyla bölge ülkelerinin düşünce kuruluşlarına, gazetecilerine, akademisyenlerine ve ilgili uzmanlarına çağrıda bulunmaktayız.
Bu çağrı doğrultusunda ANKASAM olarak elimizi taşın altına koymakta ve bölge entelijansiyasını bir araya getirecek çevrimiçi bir uluslararası konferans düzenleyeceğimizi ilan etmekteyiz.
Asian geopolitics emerges as a rising force in our age when changes in economic systems, geocultural structure and security paradigms, especially international politics, have transformed the global system into multipolarity.
When we look at the geopolitics of Asia, where the re-development of the Old World is manifested, it is possible to see the fact that global politics and competition reveal through two main sub-regional systems. These two sub-regional systems consist of Central Asia and Afghanistan-Pakistan (AF-PAK) geographies. These regions are critical with their features such as underground and above-ground resources, human capacity and having world trade routes and they also occupy the agenda of international politics with regard to destabilization attempts and security crises.
Therefore, it is seen that these regions (Central Asia and AF-PAK), the central playgrounds of the struggle for the global leadership and the hosts of potentially rising geopolitics, are being destabilized by external actors with radicalization and terrorist threats, and the threat of foreign fighters is becoming a reality of the region. Thus, it is clear that the areas of proxy wars over Afghanistan at the moment are to be expanded.
As the Ankara Center for Crisis and Policy Research (ANKASAM), we believe that the destabilization attempts to the rise of Asian geopolitics should be overcome with the efforts of the states in the region to build a fairer and livable world with peace, stability and prosperity at the global level. We think that these efforts are of great importance in terms of revealing common wills and developing cooperation processes for the solution of the common problems of the states in the region. Within the framework of this vision, we call on think tanks, journalists, academics and relevant experts of the countries of the region to develop a common mind with the claim to assume responsibility and mission for the future of the region and to bring an academic perspective to the search for the stability and prosperity of the region.
Through this call, we, as ANKASAM, take responsibility and declare that we will organize an online international conference that will bring the regional intelligentsia together.
В нашем веке, когда изменения в экономических системах, геокультурной структуре и парадигмах безопасности, особенно в международной политике, превратили глобальную систему в многополярность, азиатская геополитика приобретает большую ценность.
Когда мы смотрим на геополитику Азии, где проявляется повторное развитие Старого Света, можно увидеть тот факт, что глобальная политика и конкуренция имеют место в двух основных субрегиональных системах. Эти две субрегиональные системы охватывают регионы Центральной Азии и Афгано-Пакистанский (AF-PAK). С одной стороны, эти регионы выходят на первый план благодаря своим характеристикам, таким как подземные и надземные ресурсы, человеческий потенциал и наличие мировых торговых путей; с другой стороны, он занимает повестку дня международной политики в контексте попыток дестабилизации и кризисов безопасности.
В этом смысле вышеупомянутые регионы (Центральная Азия и АФ-ПАК), которые являются центральными площадками глобальной борьбы за лидерство и в которых с точки зрения их потенциала находится растущая геополитика, дестабилизируются радикализацией и террористическими угрозами со стороны нерегиональных игроков. а угроза иностранных боевиков – это реальность региона каждый день. Таким образом, очевидно, что необходимо расширить ареалы прокси-войн, ведущихся в настоящее время в Афганистане.
Анкарский Центр Исследования Кризиса и Политики (АНКАСАМ) верим, что необходимо преодолевать предпринимательство нестабилизации в геополитики Азии для того чтобы сформировать и мир, стабидизацию, благосостояние в нашим регионе и праведливый пригодными для жизни мир на глобальном пространстве. По нашему мнению Речь идет о усилии с целью урегудирования общее проблемы стран нашего региона, в связи с этим имеет большие значение выдвигать воля и развивать процесс сотрудничества.
В рамках этого предвидения с точки зрения будущего региона с утверждением нести отвественностю и миссию, развивать общие рассуждение мы пригдашаем журналисты, специалисты, академики стран региона для того чтобы исследовать стабилизацию и благосостаянию региона с целю выдыигания акдемической перспективы.
Направление этого приглашения с чувством ответственности мы ананстроваем, что будет организована онлийн конференция нами, на которой встретиться интеллтгенты нашего региона.
