چکیده:
Realism and neorealism, as the dominant approaches to international relations studies and foreign policy, emphasizing statism and the dominance of the structural element over the international system, do not acknowledge the role and impact of ethnicity and ethnic groups on the foreign policies of states. However, with the end of the Cold War, we are witnessing an expansion of the influence of the ethnic variable on the security arrangements of client systems, especially in the Middle East. This paper presents an explanation of the inefficiency of current frameworks in explaining the impact of ethnicity and ethnic groups on the foreign policies of states, particularly in the Middle East.
خلاصه ماشینی:
43) Lynor Martin, in the above paragraph, clearly recounts the balance of power as a realist and classic concept, and in practice, the above recommendation has been the basis for the behavior of politicians and foreign policy designers so that they can provide an effective deterrence strategy to the state to achieve national security in today's chaotic world.
(Brown, 1993) As can be inferred from the aforementioned premises, classic balance of power does not pay attention to the variable role of ethnicity in international politics, the foreign policy of countries, regional and international security, and the national security of countries for the following reasons: - Establishing balance is focused on military tools, strengthening deterrence capabilities, and participation in military-oriented bilateral or multilateral alliances and pacts.
44) His critique of Allen can be seen as a critique of the conceptual framework of comprehensive balance, which reduces the security considerations of countries solely to internal threats and ignores other domains and factors that affect the foreign policy of states, especially in the Middle East.
422) In this way and based on the theory of comprehensive balancing, it can be said that the continuation and intensification of this trend—given the challenges of some Middle Eastern countries such as Syria and Iran with the international system, as well as US hegemony over it and the possibility of the United States utilizing the Kurdish issue to intervene in the domestic and foreign security domains of these two countries—will have an even greater impact on their foreign and security policies regarding the developments in the Kurdish-populated regions of the Middle East.
