Özet:

The "Regional Security Complex Theory", which deals with the understanding of security in the post-Cold War international system evolved in the context of regional dynamics, is a theoretical framework that the School of Copenhagen has presented in the framework of its work on the new security approach. According to the theory of the regional security complex, which connects mutual security dependence with geographical characteristics, primarily distance, the geographically close neighboring countries are linked with each other by regional internal security dynamics and threat perceptions. The "Middle East Security Complex" is a complex where cooperation and conflict continues and includes regional forces such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. Within the Middle East security complex, Iran focused on strengthening its defence line by increasing the perception of threat as a regional force, along with the rise of the Arab Spring rebels to Syria, and has emphasized the common perception of threat with Hezbollah, a powerful non-state actor in this security complex, mutual security dependence and cooperation based on identity bonds. From this proposal, the study aimed at examining the policy that Iran applied to Lebanon through Hezbollah in the post-Arab Spring period.
