Özet:

In this study, the policy of Turkistan, from the end of the Cold War to the present day, is focused on the United States, especially the 2000s. The main argument of the study is that the U.S. approach to the region was economically and energy-focused in the 1990s, while after the September 11 attacks in the 2000s, it had a security-focused transformation in the context of global war against terrorism. During the past twenty years, the U.S. regional policy has been formed in the fight against terror and taking Afghanistan at the center, and therefore the U.S. has experienced a security-democratization duality in its relations with its regions and has negatively reflected its relations with the Turkish republics. While Obama and Trump wanted to give a new direction to the relations, security-oriented perspective has retained its weight. The study focuses on these processes under three titles: first, the U.S. policies towards the region were evaluated in the post-Cold War period, then on the 11th September attacks and the effects of Afghan occupation on the U.S. policy towards the region, and under the last title, the effects and reflections of the U.S. withdrawal this time from Afghanistan to the region.
