This study aimed to explain whether arms sales are used as an instrument in foreign policy with the help of Immanuel Wallerstein's World System Theory. For this purpose, the arms transfers from developed to third world countries have been analyzed within historical periods. It focused on the relationship between arms transfer and its usage as a foreign policy instrument in the pre-Cold War, Cold War, and post- Cold War periods. The study's primary purpose in analyzing a wide period is to examine the role of the capitalist mode of production in the formation of the core, semi-periphery, and periphery countries. By investigating the effect of this tripartite distinction on the arms industry, it is to reveal whether a dependency relationship is established between the core and the periphery countries through arms transfer. As a result of this study, it has been concluded that the peripheral countries’ foreign policies that have become dependent on the arms transfers or defense technology can be manipulated by the core country.

Bu göz ardı edilemeyecek ilişkinin gelişimindeki önemli dönüm noktası 19. yüzyıl İngiltere’sidir. Çünkü bu dönem Sanayi Devrimi’ni...
