Israel security policies in the context of Copenhagen School: "Succes?" or "Failure?"

The main purpose of this study is to examine Israel's internal and external security policies within the framework of Copenhagen School concepts and security understanding. In this context, concepts such as securitization, desecuritization, regional security complex and security sectors put forward by the Copenhagen School have been evaluated in the historical process in the axis of Israel's security policies. Especially, by comparing before and after September 11, the evolution of the concept of desecuritization, which is the main goal of the Copenhagen Scool, into the concept of securitization in the axis of Israel security strategies has been evaluated. In addition, it has been focused on which İnstitutions play a role in Israel's securitization processes, and with what function. Likewise, the relations between Israel and the United States of America (USA) were evaluated on the basis of security and September 11, and the effect on the USA on the securitization process was tried to be revealed. In the study, firstly, the concept of security and globalization are emphasized. In addition to traditional approaches, the emergence of the Copenhagen School and its basic concepts are explained. Secondly, the factors and institutions that are effective in Israel security and foreign policy are examined. Thirdly, the main events starting from the establishment of Israel are evaluated in the light of the concepts of the Copenhagen School. Again in the same context, the normative dimension of Israel's security practices such as Palestine, the firewall and the iron dome air defense system were evaluated within the framework of the Copenhagen School concepts. As a result, starting from the Copenhagen School's acceptance that securitization is a "failure", Israel security policies were evaluated in the light of the concept of securitization, and a discussion was made in which aspects these policies were "successful" or "failure".
