This thesis deals with the hotly debated issue of the demilitarized status of the Northeastern Aegean Islands. It attempts to examine the subject in question with unconventional approaches to come to the fore as much as it has relied on the original texts. Within this framework, a critique of the literature is undertaken, a new historical framework is established that focuses solely on the issue but does not exclude the variables that are thought to have influenced the development of the issue of demilitarization, and the applicability of various international relations and broader social science theories are discussed within this framework, alongside with practical experiences and developments. It also explores what extent extra-regional actors and other parameters contributed to the development of the issue. It concludes that an unconventional approach, involving IR as well as other branches of social sciences, is necessary to get to the heart of the matter.
