Abstract: | Today, weapons of mass destruction (WMD) seriously threaten international security
as states are in need of obtaining nuclear weapons. As the international system is
anarchic, states need to provide their own security and as realism suggests the most
important objective to achieve this is to have strong military power. States seek to
increase their military power by acquiring nuclear weapons, even though there are
numerous agreements that ban the production, transfer, and use of nuclear weapons
unless they are for friendly purposes. The breakdown of the Soviet Union left states
with their nuclear stockpiles and these weapons needed to be eliminated and secured
before getting into wrong hands. The Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction
Program is introduced as a case study to show how it can assist states to become
nuclear free. The Nunn-Lugar CTR Program was successfully achieved in the former
Soviet Union. On the other hand, North Korea has been expanding its nuclear
stockpile and testing nuclear weapons. Today, North Korea seriously challenges
international security with its nuclear experiments. The aim of the thesis is to provide
necessary information to show that the CTR program cannot be applied to North
Korea and to demonstrate how Trump Administration is challenged by North Korean
nuclear activities. ÖZ:
Günümüzde kitle imha silahları uluslararası güvenliği tehlikeye sokan önemli bir
husustur. Uluslararası sistemin anarşik olması ve devletlerin kendi güvenliklerini
sağlamak zorunda olmaları, realizme göre güçlü orduya sahip olmaktan geçmektedir.
Dünya üzerinde her ne kadar nükleer silahların üretilmesi, kullanılması ve
taşınmasını engelleyen sınırlayan ve yasaklayan antlaşmalar olsa dahi, devletler
ordularını güçlendirmek adına kitle imha silahlarına başvurmaktadır. Sovyetler
Birliğinin yıkılmasından sonra barındırdığı devletler yüksek miktarda kitle imha
silahlarıyla birlikte korunmasız hale gelmiştir. Bu silahların terörist grupların ellerine
geçmeden yok edilmesi ve güvence altına alınması gerekmektedir. Öte yandan,
Kuzey Kore nükleer testler yapmakta ve uluslararası güvenliği tehdit etmektedir. Bu
tezin amacı Nunn-Lugar Programının Sovyetler Birliğine uygulanıp başarılı
olmasından dolayı aynı şekilde Kuzey Kore‘de uygulanabilirliğini test etmek olup,
Trump hükümetini ne şekilde tehdit ettiğini ortaya çıkarmaktır. |
