Abstract
Klasik anlamda enerji güvenliği kavramı, çeşitli formlardaki ve yeterli miktardaki enerjinin bulunabilirliği olarak tanımlanabilir. Ayrıca enerji güvenliği, uygun fiyattaki enerji kaynaklarına, çevreye zarar vermeden ulaşabilirlik olarak da değerlendirilebilir. Enerji güvenliği uluslararası ilişkiler gündeminde yer alan konulardan biri olarak çok boyutlu ve çok değişken bir kavramdır. Bu bağlamda Uluslararası İlişkiler disiplinindeki teorilerin her biri enerji güvenliği konusuna farklı bir bakış açışı çizmiştir. Temeli 1990'lı yıllara dayanan ve güvenlik tanımlamalarında artan ölçüde kullanılmaya başlayan kavramlardan biri olan enerji güvenliği kavramı bu tezin kuramsal bir alt yapısını oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye'nin enerji güvenliği bağlamında Irak ve Kuzey Irak Bölgesel Yönetimi ile ilişkilerini 2003 yılından başlayarak günümüze değin analiz etmektedir. Bu süreç 2003 yılında başlayarak 2019'a kadar devam etmiştir. Metodoloji bağlamında çalışma, kartopu yöntemi temelinde uzman kişilerle yapılan yüz-yüze derinlemesine görüşmelere dayanmıştır. Bunun yanı sıra, konu ile alakalı yazılı ve görsel kaynaklar da ikincil veri olarak kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucu elde edilen bulgulara göre Türkiye'nin, IKBY ve Irak Merkezi Hükümeti arasındaki ilişkileri "Irak'ın iç politika sorunu" olarak ele alınmakta, Irak Merkezi Hükümeti ve IKBY arasındaki siyasi, idari ve ekonomik sorunların dışında kalarak denge politikası yürütmektedir.
