The Nagorno Karabakh Conflict turned into an “intractable” conflict since the parties did not compromise despite the long-lasting efforts of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). The realist approaches, which dominate the Conflict Analysis and Resolution (CAR) field, cannot fully explain the complex dynamics of the intractable conflicts due to their power-oriented logic focusing on the system-level analysis. The evolving constructivist literature could not abundantly engage in CAR field despite it contains useful insights for the conflict analysis. This study assumes that the dynamics of the intractability can be explored by examining the mutual constitution of the material and ideational factors by considering the interplays at the unit-regional, and system levels. In this regard, this study aspires to develop an analytical approach by enhancing the analytical framework of the Regional Security Complex Theory (RSCT), which enables the integrated use of the realist and constructivist assumptions and the conduct of the analysis at all levels, with the constructivist assumptions and contribute to constructivist research in CAR field. In the light of the case study, this work proposes an analytical framework, which conducts the analysis of the intractability in a nonlinear way and rests on the inference that material and ideational factors generate different effects on the protraction at various levels.

To achieve this goal, it focuses on the effects of the formative events on the cultural products, motivational dynamics (fear, hatred, and enmity), and identity formation by conducting a case study. The article examines the construction of anarchy by employing a constructivist approach, which was regarded as the source of 'uncertainty' driving to the security dilemma by the realist mainstream. It demonstrates that the 'perception patterns,' which is the result of the accumulation of the past lessons, play a key role in recognition of other actors` intent and construction of anarchy and offers a more explanatory concept.

Kurulmasına öncelik ettiği BM, IMF, Dünya Bankası gibi bir çok kurumla "Küresel Egemenliğini" sağlamlaştıracak "ittifaklara dayalı" bir strateji takip etmiştir. Soğuk Savaşın bitmesinden sonra tek süper güç olarak kalması; bu stratejide değişiklik yapması ve daha "tek başına" hareket etmesi sonucunu doğurmuştur. ABD'nin, uluslar arası sistemi, hukuku ve son elli yıldır savunduğu değerleri hiçe sayarak, yalnız kendi menfaatleri doğrultusunda pervasızca hareket etmesi, tüm bunların yanında: küreselleşmeyi savunurken, küresel yoksullukla mücadele etmemesi; ekonomik menfaatlerinden dolayı çevre konusundaki duyarsızlığı; terörizm ile mücadele ettiğini söylerken, aslında terörizme kaynaklık etmesi ve diğer bir çok alandaki çifte standartlı uygulamaları nedeniyle "nefret boyutunda" dünya kamu oyunun tepkisini çekmiştir. Rakipsiz kaldığını düşünen ABD, küresel ihtirası nedeni ile kendini bugünlere getiren ve temellerini oluşturan tüm değerleri yıpratmıştır. ABD İmparatorluğu sarsılmaya başlamıştır.

Based on examination of the U.S.'s alignment with PYD in Syria, this study concludes that alignment of a state with a terrorist organization is also an outcome of the post-modern condition and we need to enhance the present theories accordingly.

The new wars are conducted in the "gray" zone between war and peace with the intention to achieve political goals by employing various instruments and methods. This new type of war is called as "Hybrid War." Today, the economic pressure method had become the most frequently exercised method in this war. Based on the "securitization" approach, the mechanism of the economic pressure method and the linkage between economic security and resilience had been studied in this study. In this context, primarily, the financial crises experienced in other countries had been examined and the crucial economic indicators covering the period between 2002 and 2017 had been analyzed. Accordingly, based on the findings of the analysis, the financial crisis that prevailed in the summer of 2018 had been investigated as a case study. Finally, it had been made some conclusions regarding the operation of the securitization mechanism in the economic sector. In this context, it had been concluded that the mechanism of the securitization is too complicated. Since the securitization process emerged in many sectors simultaneously, eliminating economic threats through the present security understanding and architecture is an unviable option. Therefore, it had been argued that economic security and state resilience required a comprehensive security logic.
