“…Realist teoriye göre devletlerin en önemli amacı anarşik uluslararası sistemde hayatta kalmaktır. Beka mücadelesi veren devletlerin tehdit algıları konusunda farklı yaklaşımlar sergileyen realistler, devletin gücü mü yoksa tehdidi mi dengeleyeceği konusunda ayrışmışlardır (Bock & Henneberg, 2013). Devletlerin ister gücü ister tehdidi dengeleyeceği varsayımı olsun her iki yaklaşım da devletin güvenliğine yönelik tehdidin dışarıdan kaynaklanacağı kabulüne dayanmaktadır.…”

Kurulduğu günden beri rejim güvenliğini ve toprak bütünlüğünü sağlamak için dışarıdan hamilere dayanmayı geleneksel dış ve güvenlik politikası olarak benimseyen Suudi Arabistan, 2015 sonrası dönemde yaşanan bazı gelişmeler nedeniyle yeni güvenlik arayışlarına girmiştir. Çünkü bu dönemde Orta Doğu bölgesinde oluşan güç ve güvenlik boşlukları ve İran liderliğinde yükselen Şiilik, Suudi vatandaşı Şiilere cesaret aşılamış ve Şiilerin rejim karşıtı siyasal aktivizmlerine önemli bir destek sağlamıştır. 2015 sonrası ABD’nin Suudi rejim güvenliği ve toprak bütünlüğüne yönelik garantilerinin azalması, Suudi liderliğinde oluşturulan “Sünni Konsensüsü”nün Yemen ve Suriye krizlerinde etkisiz kalması, Rusya ve Çin’in İran’la derinleşen ilişkileri Riyad yönetimini dâhili dengeleme politikasına yönlendirmiştir. Bu süreçte Riyad yönetimi içeride ve dışarıda sürdürdüğü Şii karşıtı sertlik yanlısı mezhepsel politikayla içeride rejime muhalif olan Sünni İslamcı kanadın rejimle kenetlenmesini sağlamaya çalışmıştır. Bu politika aynı zamanda Suudi-İsrail yakınlaşmasına Suudi kamuoyunda meşruiyet kazandırmak için de kullanılmıştır.

“…Walt claims that due to the increasing qualities of a state, it becomes a threat to other states and other states balance it. He published this theory in his first article titled "Alliance formation and the Balance of World Power" published in the journal, "International Security" in 1985, and further this theory was produced in detail in his book "The Origin of Alliances" published in 1987" [35].…”

Realism is considered a very crucial theoretical approach which claims to represent the reality of international relations and it rejects the imaginative idealism. It created a place between war and peace; quarrels and moral standards; and national interests and national cooperation, it ultimately provides authenticity to the prior as compared to the latter respectively. Realist approach in International Relations emphasizes the constraints on politics imposed by human nature and the absence of the world government and together they make international relations largely an arena of power and interest. It also gives validity to selfish human nature, anarchic structure of the world, self-preservation, self-help, strategic military action, diplomatic conversations, balance of power/threat, cultural conflicts and after all violence. However, scholars who are working in this series have much to contribute to normative debates regarding international politics. But it is the need of hour to recognize the significant differences among realists. They offer conflicting results to many methodological political and ethical questions. It seems that realism is a flourishing research agenda in both international relations and political theory. This research article will theoretically and analytically examine the realism as an approach to international relations that has emerged gradually through the work-series of analysts in different continents in many ways of establishments that found logical as various traditions. In a conclusive way, it seems that realism is an inexhaustible and much timeless theory.
