Abstract

The crisis that began in mortgage credits in the middle of 2007 in the United States triggered a financial crisis starting from the middle of 2008 in the U.S. and Europe. At the end of 2008 real sector all over the world began to be negatively affected from the crisis. Current crisis is compared with Great Depression that had begun in 1929 and become one of steps going to the Second World War. It is known that many changes occured in domestic and external behaviours of states in the time of Depression. It is very usual to expect that current crisi will have some influences on states too. Taking into account that crisis is a temporary period, in this essay it is debated how domestic and external behaviours of states will change in the time of crisis. Moreover, it is explained that influences of crisis may change from country to country, and continuation of crisis in the form of recession or depression will create different impacts as well.

Özet

2007 yılının ortasında ABD’de ipotekli konut kredilerinde başlayan kriz 2008 yılının ikinci yarısından itibaren ABD ve Avrupa’da finans krizine yol açmıştır. 2008 sonununda ise bütün dünya krizden olumsuz etkilenmeye başlamıştır. Kriz 1929 yılında başlayan ve İkinci Dünya Savaşı’na giden basamaklardan biri olan Büyük Buhran ile karşılaştırılmaktadır. Buhran döneminde devletlerin iç ve dış hareketlerinde birçok değişiklikler olduğu bilinmektedir. Halihazırdaki ekonomik krizin de devletler üzerinde bir kısım etkilerinin olması doğaldır. Krizin sonuçta geçici bir evre olduğu dikkate alınarak bu çalışmada, kriz döneminde devletlerin içerde ve dışarda sergileyecekleri davranışların hangi yönlerde değişim gösterebileceği tartışılmıştır. Diğer yandan, krizin etkilerinin ülkeden ülkeye farklılıklar arzedebileceği, durgunluk veya depresyon biçiminde sürmesinin de krizin yaratacağı etkileri farklılaştıracağı açıklanmıştır.
