Introduction
Regional orders are one of the most important factors influencing the foreign policy behavior of regional and transregional government units. The Middle East region, affected by the intervention of transregional powers, has gone through various periods of security order formation. The factors shaping the order of the Middle East region have been highly diverse in different historical periods. During the Cold War, militarized trends and bipolar transregional interventions were the most important factors forming the order of the Middle East region. In the last two decades, the factors causing transformation in the order of the West Asian region have changed. In the present study, the factors causing transformation and transformation in the order of the West Asian region that have formed the basis of new changes are examined.
Theoretical Framework
The foreign policy behavior of the powers of the West Asian region has undergone many changes due to interaction with the new order. The changes made have caused changes to occur in the foreign policy toolbox of most governments. The factors creating regional orders and their transformation into polarizations and transformation in the form of a change in the nature of new communications have had different characteristics in past periods. Regional and transregional government units and the content of their communications are the builders of orders. Regional orders are one of the most important variables affecting the behavior of government units. Regional orders are composed of various order-building processes, the most important of which are defined in the form of security order-building processes. The aforementioned processes include a set of sub-processes that occur in the political, economic-energy and cultural spheres. The result of the interaction of different order-building thematic layers leads to the formation of a security order.
Methodology
The research method of the present article is descriptive and the method of collecting documentary sources.
Results & Discussion
The question of the present research is what factors are the current changes in the West Asian regional order rooted in and what impact has the resulting change had on the foreign policy behavior of the regional governments? In response to the above question, the following hypothesis is put forward: the change in the West Asian regional order and its networking are rooted in three factors: the networking of geoeconomic ties, the networking of perception engineering and the networking of deterrence, and this has caused the foreign policy toolbox of many regional powers to move towards diversification in order to have a multidimensional impact on the regional security order. The research method of the present article is descriptive and the method of collecting documentary sources. State and non-state actors in the West Asian region, while intensifying the complexity of the existing order, benefit from the current metamorphosis structure. In fact, the interaction of the agent and the networked structure is a two-way and constructive interaction. Structural pressure causes the costs of regional strategic action to increase for units that do not use the network approach, and actors that do not seek to adapt to the newly emerging transformed environment with the aforementioned approach will have high costs in implementing regional plans. On the contrary, units that seek to use regional and transregional communication links and nodes with a network approach to enhance their strategic stability point, while reducing costs, help to make foreign policy behaviors more efficient and strengthen the foreign policy toolbox.
Conclusions & Suggestions
The strengthening and complexity of regional links in regional thematic areas and their connection to the global networked order has been affected by a specific progressive process. The following model shows that the networkization of order in West Asia is rooted in the networkization of the economy in this region, and further, with the networkization of communications and soft power and the desire of regional government units to expand their soft power influence network at the regional and trans-regional levels, the aforementioned process has intensified. At the end of the linear movement of the previous circles, a supplementary and final circle has been added. Units that have been able to achieve outstanding successes in the previous two circles will be more successful in networking their deterrence using their network capacity and regional and global links. Therefore, all three circles are linked to each other in the form of a linear causal relationship and help to deepen the complexity and networkization of order in the region. The network connection of the three aforementioned layers with each other and mutual feeding from each other will be the builder of the strategic environment.
