Görsel medyada da Türkistan'ı konu alan belgeselleri ve haber programlarını izliyordum. 2016 yılında Bişkek, Isık-Göl ve Almatı, 2018 yılında ise Taşkent, Semerkant ve Buhara şehirlerini kurumum RTÜK'ün resmi faaliyetleri çerçevesinde görmüştüm. Bu geniş coğrafyayı doya doya gezmek, bu coğrafyadaki insanlarla tanışıp onların kültürlerini tanımak istediğim için Türkistan'ın kültürel ve tarihsel olarak önemli olan merkezlerini ziyaret etmeye karar vererek; 2019 yılı yaz tatilimi Kazakistan, Özbekistan ve Kırgızistan'da geçireceğim dolu dolu bir plan yaptım. Bu plan ilk bakışta biraz riskli gibiydi. Uluğ Türkistan'ın kuzeyinden güneyine, batısından doğusuna iki haftalık bir zaman diliminde gitmenin ulaşım ve iletişim açısından sıkıntılı olacağından endişeliydim. Böyle de olsa yüreğimin derinliklerinden gelen bir kuvvet bu gezi planını uygulamamda, yıllardır hayalini kurduğum ve benim için veya bizler için önemli olan yerlere gitmemde etkili oldu. Habitusumdan kaynaklanan bu içsel dürtü ile Kırgızistan, Kazakistan ve Özbekistan'ı içine alan bir gezi programı hazırladım. Zira benim için bu gönül coğrafyasının maddi ve manevi zenginliklerini görmek, yaşamak önemliydi.

In this study, after examining the technological development in radio and television broadcasting, legal changes that are related to the new definitions and areas of activities that are emerged due to technological changes are examined. Some countries have behaved urgently in making regulations that are in line with technological improvements and have updated the existing legislations. Whereas the other group which includes Türkiye, experienced de facto applications since the legal regulations could not keep up with technological advances.

Even the countries that did not give enough importance to cultural promotion activities and language education that were carried out in the international arena, instead investing only in hard power, have realized the importance of soft power in the present age. From this point of view, the reason why a country needs to introduce its language, culture, and art and allocate material and human resources to other countries in today's global neo-liberal world is main point of the study. In this context, the aim of the thesis is to reveal the role and functions of international cultural institutes in Turkiye by making use of the concept of soft power in the literature.
In this study, the aims, policies, and activities of these institutes are examined. Thus, it is aimed to understand the existential functions and roles of these institutes. In this study, besides literature review, semi-structured in-depth interview, which is another technique of qualitative research method, was used to collect data. Based on the data obtained, the ways in which international cultural institutes benefit from all attractive cultural tools, from the language of their own country to the arts, with the aim of influencing the citizens of the target countries in favor of their own countries, creating sympathy and positive image were revealed.

In Turkey, relationship between the audiovisual media and politics started when the media was under government monopoly and they increasingly went on after private radios and televisions began broadcasting in 1990. In this regard, the issue of
audiovisual media ownership has gained importance. The history of the legislative regulations in this field dates back to beginning of radio broadcasting in Turkey. In the history of Turkey's audiovisual media, the laws on the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) coming to force in 1964 and 1983 along with the Constitutions of 1961 and 1982 are the foremost legislations which regulate this field. The relevant articles of these constitutions and mentioned laws were amended from time to time because of political reasons or for the sake of keeping pace with developing technology. As a result of advances in broadcasting technologies, Article 133 of 1982 Constitution was amended in 1993 and this amended article established the constitutional basis of the Law numbered 3984 which concerns the Establishment and Broadcasting of Radio and Televisions. Establishing of the Radio and Television Supreme Council with this mentioned law added a new dimension to the matter of audiovisual media ownership. The dynamism in audiovisual media technologies inevitably continued to reflect itself onto legislations that regulate the field and all of the legal regulations, Law numbered 6112 in particular, which were brought about by this reflection ended up with significant outcomes about the matter of audiovisual media ownership.

Bu stratejinin en önemli dönüm noktası 751 yılındaki Talas Savaşı’dır. Bu savaşta Çinlilerin Maveraünnehir’e kadar Türkistan topraklarında hegemonya kurma çabası Abbasi Ordularının kılıcı ile son bulmuştur.
Bu tarihi Savaş’tan 1270 yıl sonra, 21. Yüzyılın başında ekonomisindeki hızlı büyüme sonucu Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti devleti hammadde, pazar, enerji gereksiniminden ötürü Türkistan’da (Merkezi Asya, Orta Asya) etkisini ve hareket alanını arttırmıştır. Çin’in bölge ülkeleriyle ekonomik, politik, kültürel ve güvenlik gibi birçok alanda işbirliği söz konusudur. Her ne kadar ekonomik yönden ilişkiler bölge ülkelerindeki hükümetlerce önemsense de Çin’in “gerçek ajandası” hakkında bölge halklarının ve sivil toplum kuruluşlarının endişeleri sürmektedir. Türkistan kamuoyundaki bu şüpheci bakışı tersine çevirmek isteyen Çin yönetimi yumuşak güç unsurlarından faydalanarak yeni bir imaj yaratmak istemektedir. Özellikle önemli bir yumuşak güç enstrümanı olarak gördüğü kadim Çin kültürünü merkeze alan Çin Komünist Partisi, Konfüçyüs Enstitüleri aracılığıyla ülkeler üzerinde olumlu imaj oluşturmaya ve itibar kazanmaya çalışmaktadır.
Bu çalışmada Çin’in yumuşak güç konseptine, ve bu ülkenin Türkistan’ın batısında yer alan Kırgızistan, Kazakistan, Özbekistan, Türkmenistan, Tacikistan ile Afganistan’a (Güney Türkistan) yönelik geliştirmiş olduğu yumuşak güç politikalarının Konfüçyüs Enstitüleri üzerinden değerlendirilmesi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma belge incelemeye dayalı nitel bir çalışmadır. Çalışmadan elde edilen veriler betimsel analiz yöntemiyle çözümlenmiştir.

Bu potansiyelin işgal altındaki Karabağ'ın azat edilmesiyle önümüzdeki dönemde daha da artması beklenmektedir. 2020 yılı sonunda Azerbaycan'da, Karabağ'da işgal altındaki toprakların 44 günlük Vatan Muharebesiyle (sert güç ile) azat edilmesiyle yeni bir dönem başlamıştır. Azerbaycan, "Kafkasya'nın Cenneti'ni dünyanın turizm merkezi haline getireceğiz" stratejisiyle Karabağ'da turizm alanında önemli yatırımlara başlamıştır. Çünkü Karabağ bölgesi doğal güzellikleri, tarihi dokusu, kültürel zenginlikleri ve endemik bitki örtüsüyle turizm sektörü için el değmemiş bir coğrafyadır. Bu çalışmada Karabağ'da turistleri cezbedecek yumuşak güç unsurlarına değinilmektedir. Bu unsurların turizm potansiyelinin, Azerbaycan'a ekonomik getirisinin öneminin ortaya konulması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu araştırma sert güç (muharebe) ile işgalden özgürleştirilen Azerbaycan topraklarının yumuşak güç potansiyeli bakımından değerlendirilmesini içermektedir. Bu nedenle çalışma, örneklem olarak ele alınan Karabağ'ın yumuşak güç potansiyelinin turizmle birlikte "Azerbaycan için nasıl yumuşak güç unsuru" haline getirebileceğinin tartışılması açısından önemlidir.

Xalqaro munosabatlar sohasida bir davlatning boshqa xalqlarga qaratilgan strategik aloqa boshqaruv usuli sifatida qabul qilingan xalq diplomatiyasining asosi Joseph Nyening “Yumshoq kuch” tushunchasiga tayanadi. Yumshoq kuch orqali amalga oshirilgan xalq diplomatiyasining eng muhim vositalaridan biri madaniy faoliyatlardir. Madaniy faoliyatlar mamlakatlarning madaniy boyligini boshqa bir mamlakat aholisiga tanitishda foydalaniladigan ajoyib bir usuldir. Bu faoliyatlarni amalga oshirish uchun esa tildan foydalaniladi. Adabiyotning asosi va madaniyatning ko`rsatkichi bo`lgan til yordamida bir davlatning ommaviy imijini xorijda mustahkamlash uchun Alliance Francaise, British Council, Goethe instituti, Konfutsiy instituti, Yunus Emre instituti kabi xalqaro madaniy institutlar tashkil etiladi.
Ushbu tadqiqotimizdan maqsad, siyosiy tinchliksevarlik tushunchasi va hamjihatlik madaniyatining markazidan o`rin olgan va O`zbekiston uchun buyuk shaxs sanalgan Alisher Navoiy nomida tashkil etilishi mumkin bo`lgan bir madaniy institutning O`zbek tili, adabiyoti, san`ati, me`morchiligi, ma`naviy qadriyatlari, hunarmanchiligi, teatr va kino sohalarini targ`ib qilishni maqsad qilib, bu yo`lda zimmasiga oladigan ba`zi vazifalarni tahlil qilishdir. Tadqiqotimiz hujjatlarga asoslangan tahliliy bir izlanishdir. Tadqiqotda erishilgan ma`lumotlar ifoda usuli bilan tahlil qilindi.
Tadqiqotda mamlakatlarning yumshoq kuchi tanitilishida madaniy institutlarning roli bilan Markaziy Osiyoning madaniy markazi o`rnida bo`lgan O`zbekistonning yumshoq kuch manbalari tahlil qilinadi; yuzaga chiqarilgan yumshoq kuch manbalarining xalqaro maydonga olib chiqilishida madaniy institutlarga ehtiyoj bor yoki yo`qligi bo`yicha ham fikr yuritiladi. Chunki Buyuk Ipak Yo`li hududida joylashgan shaharlarda asrlar davomida tarixga kirgan, dunyo ilmiga hissa qo`shgan shoirlar, faylasuflar, olimlar, san`atkorlar yetishtirgan juda ko`p va bu mamlakatning targ`iboti xoh mahalliy, xoh xalqaro miqyosda amalga oshirilishida Navoiy institutlarining tashkil etilishi muhim ahamiyat kasb etadi. Bu tashkilotlarning xalqaro maydonda olib boradigan faoliyati bilan O`zbekistonga qo`shni davlatlar uchun ham o`rnak model bo`lib xizmat qiladi. Shuningdek, Alisher Navoiy institutlari har qanday sohada sarmoyachi-tadbirkorlar, sayyohlar, talabalar, tadqiqotchilarning diqqatini jalb qiladigan mamlakat sifatida O`zbekistonning imiji shakllanishiga hissa qo`shishi tahmin qilinadi.

Внедрение Мягкой Силы Узбекистана На Международной Арене –
Как Предложение Институт культуры Алишера Навои
Резюме
Понятие публичной дипломатии, как управление стратегическими коммуникациями страны для иностранных народов в области международных отношений, была основана на концепции мягкой силы Джозефа Ная. Одним из наиболее важных элементов использования общественной дипломатии, осуществляемой с использованием мягкой силы это культурная деятельность. Культурная деятельность является привлекательным методом, которую страны используют для продвижения своего культурного богатства в международном масштабе. Для осуществления этой деятельности в первую очередь страна начинает внедрять свой язык, который является краеугольным камнем литературы и носителем культуры. Одним из ключевых участников укрепления национального имиджа государства за его пределами через язык, являются международные институты культуры, такие как Альянс Франсез, Британский Совет, Институт Гете, Институт Конфуция, институт Юнуса Эмре, Фонд Русский Мир.
Это исследование направлено на объяснение роли Института культуры Алишера Навои в продвижении Узбекского языка, литературы, искусства, архитектуры, вкуса, духовных ценностей, ремесел, кино и театра. Данная работа была проанализирована методом описательного анализа и является качественным исследованием.
В исследовании обсуждается роль институтов культуры стран мира в выражении мягкой силы, а также источники мягкой силы Узбекистана, которые являются культурным центром Туркестана (Центральная Азия); основное внимание уделяется вопросу о том, нужны ли данные институты культуры для внедрения мягкой силы на международной арене. Узбекистан, в городах расположенных на историческом Шелковом пути, на протяжении веков воспитывал поэтов, философов, ученых, музыкантов, ремесленников, которые вошли в историю и внесли свой вклад в мировую науку. Поэтому для продвижения страны создание институтов Невои имеет важное значение как в региональном, так и в глобальном масштабе. Деятельность этих учреждений на международной арене покажет, что Узбекистан является образцом для подражания для соседних и региональных стран. В то же время институты Алишер Навои во всех аспектах будут способствовать формированию имиджа Узбекистана как привлекательной страны для бизнесменов-инвесторов, туристов, студентов, исследователей, художников.
Ключевые Слова: Институты Навои, Алишер Навои, Международные Институты Культуры, Мягкая Сила Узбекистана, Культурная Дипломатия Узбекистана, Имидж Узбекистана.

Целью посещения культурных и исторически важных центров Тюркского Мира являются: желание исследовать эту обширную географию, поближе познакомиться с местными жителями и их культурой. Поэтому в этом году я составил полный план своего летнего отпуска в Казахстан, Узбекистан и Кыргызстан.

Diyarbakır Şehrinin Kültürel Değerlerinin Türkiye'nin Yumuşak Gücündeki Yeri, 2024
The Position of Diyarbakır City's Cultural Values in Turkiye's Soft Power
In international rela... more The Position of Diyarbakır City's Cultural Values in Turkiye's Soft Power
In international relations, soft power is often defined as a country's ability to persuade rather than force others to its point of view. Soft power provides countries with the opportunity to shape the perceptions and attitudes of international public opinion around the world. Thanks to foreign public opinion, governments can direct the policies of other governments and create trust-based cooperation environments with them. As a result, countries have the opportunity to develop their own interests without using hard power, that is, military and economic power. Countries have soft power through their culture, foreign policy, and values. In this context, many sub-components, from people to trademarks, sports clubs, non-governmental organizations, and even cities, can add value to the soft power of the country they belong to. Because they can be attractive elements for the country they belong to, depending on the work they do, the successes they achieve, the services they offer, and the historical and cultural places they contain.
Today, when determining the soft power rankings of countries, the brand values they produce are also included. Like products and services, cities are also positioned as brands. Brand cities are at the forefront of the world arena with their attractive opportunities and contribute to the development of the country's economy by raising both the social and economic standards of its city residents. Within the scope of this study, the importance of the social, cultural, and historical values of Diyarbakir city for Türkiye’s soft power is emphasized. In the study, the descriptive analysis method, one of the qualitative research techniques, is used.

Bu tarihi Savaş’tan 1270 yıl sonra, 21. Yüzyılın başında ekonomisindeki hızlı büyüme sonucu Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti devleti hammadde, pazar, enerji gereksiniminden ötürü Türkistan’da (Merkezi Asya, Orta Asya) etkisini ve hareket alanını arttırmıştır. Çin’in bölge ülkeleriyle ekonomik, politik, kültürel ve güvenlik gibi birçok alanda işbirliği söz konusudur. Her ne kadar ekonomik yönden ilişkiler bölge ülkelerindeki hükümetlerce önemsense de Çin’in “gerçek ajandası” hakkında bölge halklarının ve sivil toplum kuruluşlarının endişeleri sürmektedir. Türkistan kamuoyundaki bu şüpheci bakışı tersine çevirmek isteyen Çin yönetimi yumuşak güç unsurlarından faydalanarak yeni bir imaj yaratmak istemektedir. Özellikle önemli bir yumuşak güç enstrümanı olarak gördüğü kadim Çin kültürünü merkeze alan Çin Komünist Partisi, Konfüçyüs Enstitüleri aracılığıyla ülkeler üzerinde olumlu imaj oluşturmaya ve itibar kazanmaya çalışmaktadır.
Bu çalışmada Çin’in yumuşak güç konseptine, ve bu ülkenin Türkistan’ın batısında yer alan Kırgızistan, Kazakistan, Özbekistan, Türkmenistan, Tacikistan ile Afganistan’a (Güney Türkistan) yönelik geliştirmiş olduğu yumuşak güç politikalarının Konfüçyüs Enstitüleri üzerinden değerlendirilmesi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma belge incelemeye dayalı nitel bir çalışmadır. Çalışmadan elde edilen veriler betimsel analiz yöntemiyle çözümlenmiştir.
One of the most important tools of the soft power of states is the language that their people speak, which reflects the culture of society. Cultural activities conducted using soft power are an attractive method used to present the cultural wealth of nations to the people of other countries and language is used while performing these activities.

Xalqaro munosabatlar sohasida bir davlatning boshqa xalqlarga qaratilgan strategik aloqa boshqaruv usuli sifatida qabul qilingan xalq diplomatiyasining asosi Joseph Nyening “Yumshoq kuch” tushunchasiga tayanadi. Yumshoq kuch orqali amalga oshirilgan xalq diplomatiyasining eng muhim vositalaridan biri madaniy faoliyatlardir. Madaniy faoliyatlar mamlakatlarning madaniy boyligini boshqa bir mamlakat aholisiga tanitishda foydalaniladigan ajoyib bir usuldir. Bu faoliyatlarni amalga oshirish uchun esa tildan foydalaniladi. Adabiyotning asosi va madaniyatning ko`rsatkichi bo`lgan til yordamida bir davlatning ommaviy imijini xorijda mustahkamlash uchun Alliance Francaise, British Council, Goethe instituti, Konfutsiy instituti, Yunus Emre instituti kabi xalqaro madaniy institutlar tashkil etiladi.

Tadqiqotda mamlakatlarning yumshoq kuchi tanitilishida madaniy institutlarning roli bilan Markaziy Osiyoning madaniy markazi o`rnida bo`lgan O`zbekistonning yumshoq kuch manbalari tahlil qilinadi; yuzaga chiqarilgan yumshoq kuch manbalarining xalqaro maydonga olib chiqilishida madaniy institutlarga ehtiyoj bor yoki yo`qligi bo`yicha ham fikr yuritiladi. Chunki Buyuk Ipak Yo`li hududida joylashgan shaharlarda asrlar davomida tarixga kirgan, dunyo ilmiga hissa qo`shgan shoirlar, faylasuflar, olimlar, san`atkorlar yetishtirgan juda ko`p va bu mamlakatning targ`iboti xoh mahalliy, xoh xalqaro miqyosda amalga oshirilishida Navoiy institutlarining tashkil etilishi muhim ahamiyat kasb etadi. Bu tashkilotlarning xalqaro maydonda olib boradigan faoliyati bilan O`zbekistonga qo`shni davlatlar uchun ham o`rnak model bo`lib xizmat qiladi. Shuningdek, Alisher Navoiy institutlari har qanday sohada sarmoyachi-tadbirkorlar, sayyohlar, talabalar, tadqiqotchilarning diqqatini jalb qiladigan mamlakat sifatida O`zbekistonning imiji shakllanishiga hissa qo`shishi tahmin qilinadi.

Внедрение Мягкой Силы Узбекистана На Международной Арене –
Как Предложение Институт культуры Алишера Навои
Резюме
Понятие публичной дипломатии, как управление стратегическими коммуникациями страны для иностранных народов в области международных отношений, была основана на концепции мягкой силы Джозефа Ная. Одним из наиболее важных элементов использования общественной дипломатии, осуществляемой с использованием мягкой силы это культурная деятельность. Культурная деятельность является привлекательным методом, которую страны используют для продвижения своего культурного богатства в международном масштабе. Для осуществления этой деятельности в первую очередь страна начинает внедрять свой язык, который является краеугольным камнем литературы и носителем культуры. Одним из ключевых участников укрепления национального имиджа государства за его пределами через язык, являются международные институты культуры, такие как Альянс Франсез, Британский Совет, Институт Гете, Институт Конфуция, институт Юнуса Эмре, Фонд Русский Мир.
Это исследование направлено на объяснение роли Института культуры Алишера Навои в продвижении Узбекского языка, литературы, искусства, архитектуры, вкуса, духовных ценностей, ремесел, кино и театра. Данная работа была проанализирована методом описательного анализа и является качественным исследованием.
В исследовании обсуждается роль институтов культуры стран мира в выражении мягкой силы, а также источники мягкой силы Узбекистана, которые являются культурным центром Туркестана (Центральная Азия); основное внимание уделяется вопросу о том, нужны ли данные институты культуры для внедрения мягкой силы на международной арене. Узбекистан, в городах расположенных на историческом Шелковом пути, на протяжении веков воспитывал поэтов, философов, ученых, музыкантов, ремесленников, которые вошли в историю и внесли свой вклад в мировую науку. Поэтому для продвижения страны создание институтов Невои имеет важное значение как в региональном, так и в глобальном масштабе. Деятельность этих учреждений на международной арене покажет, что Узбекистан является образцом для подражания для соседних и региональных стран. В то же время институты Алишер Навои во всех аспектах будут способствовать формированию имиджа Узбекистана как привлекательной страны для бизнесменов-инвесторов, туристов, студентов, исследователей, художников.
Ключевые Слова: Институты Навои, Алишер Навои, Международные Институты Культуры, Мягкая Сила Узбекистана, Культурная Дипломатия Узбекистана, Имидж Узбекистана.

Как Предложение Институт культуры Алишера Навои
Резюме
Понятие публичной дипломатии, как управление стратегическими коммуникациями страны для иностранных народов в области международных отношений, была основана на концепции мягкой силы Джозефа Ная. Одним из наиболее важных элементов использования общественной дипломатии, осуществляемой с использованием мягкой силы это культурная деятельность. Культурная деятельность является привлекательным методом, которую страны используют для продвижения своего культурного богатства в международном масштабе. Для осуществления этой деятельности в первую очередь страна начинает внедрять свой язык, который является краеугольным камнем литературы и носителем культуры. Одним из ключевых участников укрепления национального имиджа государства за его пределами через язык, являются международные институты культуры, такие как Альянс Франсез, Британский Совет, Институт Гете, Институт Конфуция, институт Юнуса Эмре, Фонд Русский Мир.
Это исследование направлено на объяснение роли Института культуры Алишера Навои в продвижении Узбекского языка, литературы, искусства, архитектуры, вкуса, духовных ценностей, ремесел, кино и театра. Данная работа была проанализирована методом описательного анализа и является качественным исследованием.
В исследовании обсуждается роль институтов культуры стран мира в выражении мягкой силы, а также источники мягкой силы Узбекистана, которые являются культурным центром Туркестана (Центральная Азия); основное внимание уделяется вопросу о том, нужны ли данные институты культуры для внедрения мягкой силы на международной арене. Узбекистан, в городах расположенных на историческом Шелковом пути, на протяжении веков воспитывал поэтов, философов, ученых, музыкантов, ремесленников, которые вошли в историю и внесли свой вклад в мировую науку. Поэтому для продвижения страны создание институтов Невои имеет важное значение как в региональном, так и в глобальном масштабе. Деятельность этих учреждений на международной арене покажет, что Узбекистан является образцом для подражания для соседних и региональных стран. В то же время институты Алишер Навои во всех аспектах будут способствовать формированию имиджа Узбекистана как привлекательной страны для бизнесменов-инвесторов, туристов, студентов, исследователей, художников.

In international relations, soft power is often defined as a country's ability to persuade rather than force others to its point of view. Soft power provides countries with the opportunity to shape the perceptions and attitudes of international public opinion around the world. Thanks to foreign public opinion, governments can direct the policies of other governments and create trust-based cooperation environments with them. As a result, countries have the opportunity to develop their own interests without using hard power, that is, military and economic power. Countries have soft power through their culture, foreign policy, and values. In this context, many sub-components, from people to trademarks, sports clubs, non-governmental organizations, and even cities, can add value to the soft power of the country they belong to. Because they can be attractive elements for the country they belong to, depending on the work they do, the successes they achieve, the services they offer, and the historical and cultural places they contain.
Today, when determining the soft power rankings of countries, the brand values they produce are also included. Like products and services, cities are also positioned as brands. Brand cities are at the forefront of the world arena with their attractive opportunities and contribute to the development of the country's economy by raising both the social and economic standards of its city residents. Within the scope of this study, the importance of the social, cultural, and historical values of Diyarbakir city for Türkiye’s soft power is emphasized.

Literature review, which is one of the qualitative research techniques, was used as a method in the study and quantitative data were obtained by making use of the thesis query feature on the website of the Council of Higher Education (YOK).
