Bu çalışmanın temel amacı Suudi Arabistan'ın İhvan politikasını tarihsel süreç içerisinde incelemektir. Çalışmada Riyad yönetiminin geçmişten günümüze İhvan politikası bölgesel güç mücadelesi ve rejim güvenliği olmak üzere iki temel değişken üzerinden analiz edilmiştir. Bu iki dinamiğe bağlı olarak Suudi yönetimi İhvan'ı bölgesel güç mücadelesi bağlamında dış tehditleri dengelemek için bir denge unsuru olarak görürken aynı zamanda rejim güvenliği değişkeni bağlamında ulusal güvenlik tehdidi olarak algılamıştır.
Bu
çalışma Suudi Arabistan-İsrail arasındaki ilişkilerin tarihsel boyutuna
değinerek son dönemdeki yakınlaşma belirtilerini anlamlandırmaya çalışmaktadır.
İki ülke resmi düzeyde ilişkilere sahip olmamasına rağmen medyaya yansıdığı
kadarıyla birçok noktada örtülü bir ittifakın içerisinde oldukları
anlaşılmaktadır. Bu minvalde çalışma,
iki aktörün son dönemdeki yakınlaşmasını bölgesel düzendeki değişim
üzerinden açıklamaktadır. Bu noktada iki ülkenin yakınlaşmasını ABD’nin bölge
politikası sonucu artan İran tehdidini dengeleme, Arap ayaklanmaları sonrası
değişen güvenlik mefhumu,siyasal İslam’ın bölgede güçlenmesi ve bölge
siyasetinde etkin rol oynaması gibi bölgesel düzende üç önemli parametrenin
ortaya çıkması sağlamıştır. Söz konusu üç parametre iki ülkeyi
yakınlaştırmıştır.
Sudan, an African-Arab country, has in recent years been witnessing the political transformation process of the revolution-coup spiral. The Sudanese people, who overthrew the 30-year-old regime, are not satisfied with the revolution that came into power in 2019. This new conjuncture, which can barely be called a revolution, did not solve the structural problems such as corruption, unemployment, injustice, or inability to rule. Therefore, the fire of revolution and the desire for democracy have not yet died out in Sudan. However, the role of external and internal actors influencing the country’s transformation process deserves scrutiny. In this sense, this piece seeks to answer the question of how Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have been actively involved in and diverting the transformation process in Sudan. The main claim of the study is that the Saudi-UAE axis is diligent in establishing an authoritarian military regime in Sudan. The notions of secularization and normalization with Israel stand out among the projects that the UAE is trying to implement in Sudan. The UAE and Saudi Arabia, using petro-dollar as a tool, are directly engaging in Sudan’s transition period.
