Abstract

ABSTRACT The United States Congress enacted CAATSA in 2017 to impose various restrictions on traditional rivals of the United States, which, however, was also imposed on a long-term strategic ally, Turkey. How can the application of sanctions designated for strategic rivals and enemies on an ally be explained? This article incorporates the hierarchy theory with Kai He’s negative balancing strategy notion, which provides a solid theoretical explanation for patron states’ punitive measures against their allies. We argue that CAATSA is part of the United States’ current negative balancing strategy, which aims to undermine the power of rising challengers, Russia and China, by preventing (Western) secondary states, including Turkey, from getting (nuclear) weapons from these two countries. In this context, the US used CAATSA sanctions to punish Turkey’s non-compliant and autonomous foreign policy behaviour when Russia and China rivalled the US-led order.

S400，制裁和挑衅：解释土耳其寻求战略自主和美国的回应

美国国会于2017年颁布了CAATSA，对美国的传统竞争对手施加各种限制，但也对长期战略盟友土耳其施加了限制。如何解释对战略对手和敌人实施制裁的做法?本文将等级理论与开合的负平衡战略思想相结合，为保护国对盟国的惩罚性措施提供了坚实的理论解释。我们认为，CAATSA是美国当前消极平衡战略的一部分，其目的是通过阻止包括土耳其在内的(西方)次要国家从这两个国家获得(核武器)来削弱崛起的挑战者俄罗斯和中国的力量。在这种背景下，当俄罗斯和中国反对美国主导的秩序时，美国使用CAATSA制裁来惩罚土耳其不服从和自主的外交政策行为。

期刊介绍： The aim of the journal is to establish a line of communication with these regions of Europe. Previously isolated from the European mainstream, the Balkan and Black Sea regions are in need of serious comparative study as are the individual countries, no longer "at the edge" of Europe. The principal disciplines covered by the journal are politics, political economy, international relations and modern history; other disciplinary approaches are accepted as appropriate. The journal will take both an academic and also a more practical policy-oriented approach and hopes to compensate for the serious information deficit on the countries under consideration.
