Özet:

 

The security environment and co-operation mechanisms in the Mediterranean have been  changing since the end of the Cold War and, in parallel with these changes, the importance of  the region has increased for the Western alliance. First, the number of security issues in the  Mediterranean has increased. Second, the US, EU and NATO have redefined their  Mediterranean policies and established new co-operation mechanisms in response to the  changing security environment. In this context, the aim of this paper is to highlight the  security and co-operation issues in the Mediterranean in the post-Cold War period and to  discuss the European, American and NATO's policies towards the Mediterranean separately  and in relation to each other. A third aim of this study is to evaluate Turkish foreign policy  towards security and co-operation in the Mediterranean and the Turkish position vis-à-vis the  European, American and NATO initiatives in the region.  During the Cold War period, the Mediterranean was thought of in the context of the EastWest confrontation and the Middle East conflict. In the post-war years, the Soviet threat to  Greece and Turkey, the US commitment to the security of Israel and increasing Soviet and  Non-aligned influence among the Mediterranean Arab states in the 1960s, led to a permanent  American military presence  the Sixth Fleet  and involvement in Mediterranean affairs. In this  period, the Europeans  except France  were not willing or were unable to develop a European  policy for the Mediterranean. Accordingly, the USA defined the strategic environment and the  priorities for the Western alliance in the Mediterranean. However, Western strategic thinking  was focused on the Central Front in the Cold War period and the Mediterranean remained  secondary in importance and was considered as a strategic backwater for the Alliance.
