Nuclear Powerplay: Traditional and Emerging State Dynamics in the United Nations General Assembly (1990-2017)

Aylin Ece Çiçek

This article deals with the specific topic of nuclear non-proliferation under the umbrella of global governance- namely the United Nations’ General Assembly. First, this work will present an account of the evolution of the nuclear nonproliferation regime and, secondly, examine the contemporary situation through a realist lens. More specifically, it is aimed to test powerful states’ probability to shape the global agenda, through alignment. By establishing the theoretical bases and proposition on which the study is grounded, the following part will focus on methodology and hypotheses. By utilizing ANOVA analysis and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression, this paper aims to uncover the relationship -if any- between the factors affecting state behavior on global platforms under the issue area of nuclear weapons and nonproliferation efforts.

Nükleer Güç Oyunu: Birleşmiş Milletler Genel Kurulunda Geleneksel ve Yükselen Devlet Dinamikleri (1990-2017)

Aylin Ece Çiçek

Bu makale, küresel yönetişim şemsiyesi, yani Birleşmiş Milletler Genel Kurulu kapsamında, nükleer silahların yayılmasının önlenmesine ilişkin spesifik konuyu ele almaktadır. Birincisi, bu çalışma nükleer silahların yayılmasının önlenmesi rejiminin evrimini sunacak ve ikinci olarak güncel durumu gerçekçi bir mercekle inceleyecektir. Spesifik olarak, güçlü devletlerin uyum yoluyla küresel gündemi şekillendirme olasılıklarının test edilmesi amaçlanıyor. Bir sonraki bölümde çalışmanın dayandığı kuramsal temeller ve önermeler belirlenerek yöntem ve hipotezler üzerinde durulacaktır. Bu makale, ANOVA analizi ve Olağan En Küçük Kareler (OLS) regresyonunu kullanarak, nükleer silahlar ve nükleer silahların yayılmasını önleme çabaları kapsamında, küresel platformlarda devlet davranışını etkileyen faktörler arasındaki ilişkiyi -varsa- ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır
