Abstract
Truman doctrine, which was proposed by England and which specifies a foreign aid for Turkey and Greece after the World War II has been investigated in this study. After the War, an aid cake called Truman Doctrine had been offered to Turkey which remained impartial and out of the War. The processes of demanding, receiving and using this aid which has resulted, until now, in the habitualization, or even an addiction, of offering, approving and using loans constitute the focus of this study. The main goal in analyzing this aid named after President Truman is to reach objective conclusions by means of investigating events through historical perspective and reliability and drawing associations with Turkey’s recent past. For this purpose, the suggestion of this aid and how it was perceived by the Americans as well as the Turks have been negotiated along with events and documents presented. The developments have been assessed with utmost objectivity and reasoning. Also, a viewpoint on the impact and results of this aid concerning Turkey has been offered.
Key Words: Truman doctrine, national benefits, imperialism and dependency, genuine policy.

Abstract
The Conference for Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), emerging as a dialog and cooperation process during the Cold War, helped to end it by facilitating the endorsement of some important international documents such as Helsinki Final Act, Paris Chart, and The Treaty on Conventional Forces in Europe Agreement (CFE). The OSCE, which was preoccupied with the democratization of Eastern Europe and the crisis management areas in the 1990’s has become politically marginalized due to the enlargements of NATO and EU. Having failed to make OSCE a core element of European security architecture, Russia has initiated a new and different European security structure which aimed at decreasing NATO and USA’s role in Europe. In this article, the historical role of OSCE, as well as its position in European security architecture will be analyzed in the context of Global Powers’ expectations.
Key Words: Security and cooperation, Helsinki Final Act, Paris Chart, Disarmament.

Abstract
More than 90% of proven oil reserves have reached to peak point according to Hubbert curve. Global oil demand increases 2% per year and if this trend continues, daily global oil consumption will reach to 105 million barrel by 2030. The USA, EU, China, India have the highest energy consumption levels in the world and these four regions are called the biggest energy markets of the world. If we consider energy consumption level of these four regions, significance of oil and natural gas could be understood easily for energy security. These countries are in constant effort to diversify energy supply sources to protect themselves from price-supply shocks as oil prices peak. With oil reserves reaching their peak points, the measures taken by these four nations as regards energy security and the policies they will follow will trigger new struggles in the region and contribute to the policies made, whereby shaping the future.
Key Words: Energy Supply Security, Energy Policy, Peak Point of Oil, Big Energy Market.

Abstract
The idea of establishing an international criminal court for prosecuting crimes condemned by all humankind goes back to the 19th century. Four ad hoc tribunals founded after the tragic events in the 20th century were far beyond satisfying international public opinion. Efforts for establishing an international court, which were interrupted during the cold war era, accelerated toward the end of the cold war and the Statue of Rome was adopted in 1998 by a wide range of approval. This essay seeks to find an answer to the question how successful the Statue of Rome was in eliminating the shortcomings of the formerly established courts of Nuremberg, Tokyo, Yugoslavia and Rwanda.
Key Words: International Criminal Court, Statue of Rome, Nuremberg, Tokyo, Yugoslavia, Rwanda, international criminal law.

Abstract
Since the First World War, it has been observed that the direct or indirect causes of most of crises occurring all over the world have been the will of the developed states to secure the transportation lines of energy and to take control of it. For that purpose, it is enough to consider the role of the energy in the field of development, the areas of energy use and the distribution of reserves on the planet. The asymmetric geopolitical situation and the global transport routes of coal, oil and gas as well as the locations where the highest energy consumer U.S. has deployed its troops yield a coded pattern of energy political behavior when an analysis of correlation is made.
Key Words: US Bases, Energy Transportation Lines, International Conflicts, Energy Resources.
