Abstract (2. Language): 
For thirty four years the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe(OSCE) has operated as the largest security organization. Over the years, the organization has evolved from an institution for dialogue between the West and East during the Cold War to a unique mechanism which aims an international cooperation based on commitments agreed by all members of the OSCE in a consensual process. Today the organization is facing two important challenges, the first one is about its new role as enhancing its security dimension and secondly strengthening its human dimension through implementing democratic reforms consistent with the OSCE commitments. Therefore, the designation of Kazakhstan in November 2007 as Chairman-in-office for the year 2010 is very noteworthy. Despite its strategic geographical position in the Central Asian-Caspian Basin Zone and rich energy resources Kazakhstan also has to develop an agenda including all current security issues for its chairmanship term and consolidate democratic reforms inside the country demanded by the Western world. Therefore, Kazakhstan's chairmanship presents important opportunities, at the same time significant challenges as well. This paper focuses on these opportunities and challenges as well as Kazakhstan's long journey to take over the OSCE's chairmanship in 2010.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Avrupa Güvenlik ve İşbirliği Teşkilâtı (AGİT) otuz dört yıldan beri en büyük güvenlik teşkilâtı olarak faaliyet yürütmektedir. Yıllar içerisinde, teşkilât, Soğuk Savaş döneminde Batı ile Doğu arasında diyalogu sağlayan bir kurum vasfından; tüm AGİT üyelerinin üzerinde mutabık kaldıkları taahhütleri temel alan, uluslararası çapta işbirliğini hedefleyen benzersiz bir mekanizmaya evrilmiştir. Günümüzde ise Teşkilât, geçirdiği bu evrimin beraberinde getirdiği yeni rolüyle ilişkili olarak birincisi güvenlik boyutunu güçlendirme, ikincisiyse AGİT taahhütleriyle uyumlu demokratik reformların yürürlüğe konması yoluyla insani boyutunu pekiştirme gibi iki önemli meseleyle yüz yüzedir. Örgütün başkanlığının Kasım 2007 tarihinde 2010 yılı için Kazakistan'a devredilmesi bu bağlamda kayda değer bir gelişmedir. Orta Asya-Hazar Havzası Bölgesindeki stratejik coğrafi konumu ve zengin enerji kaynaklarına rağmen, Kazakistan, başkanlık dönemi boyunca güncel güvenlik sorunlarına ilişkin çözüm önerilerinin yanı sıra, Batı dünyasının kendisinden beklediği ülke içindeki demokratik reformları da içeren bir gündem geliştirmek mecburiyetindedir. Hal böyleyken, Kazakistan'ın başkanlığı bir yandan önemli olanaklar sunarken, öte yandan da ciddi sorunları da beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada, söz konusu olanak ve sorunların yanı sıra Kazakistan'ın 2010'a dek geçen süreçteki AGİT başkanlığı maratonu ele alınacaktır.
