<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>This article examines Iran’s nuclear energy policy, which is one of the most important issues in the Middle East. In addition to the work written on this subject, it aims to contribute to the literature in terms of the nuclear energy policies of the three Iranian leaders during the nuclear crisis period, namely Mohammad Khatami, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Hassan Rouhani. In this respect, the article initially explains why Iran’s nuclear energy policy is important. Then, in order to emphasize the double standards that stand at the core of the subject, the background of the Iranian nuclear program and the reasons behind the Iranian energy policy after the 1979 Islamic Revolution are examined. As the destination point of these discussions, the periods under Khatami, Ahmadinejad, and Rouhani are examined in order to reveal the differences and similarities between the nuclear energy policies of the Iranian leaders.</p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>Bu makale, Ortadoğu’daki en önemli sorunlardan biri olan İran’ın nükleer enerji siyasetini incelemektedir. Bu konuda yazılan çalışmalara ek olarak, nükleer kriz döneminin üç lideri, Muhammet Hatemi, Mahmut Ahmedinejat ve Hasan Ruhani’nin nükleer enerji siyasetinin analizi ile ilgili literatürün geliştirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda makale öncelikle İran’ın nükleer enerji siyasetinin neden önemli olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Daha sonra konunun özünde olan çifte standart vurgusunu öne çıkarmak için İran nükleer programının temeli ve 1979 İslam Devrimi sonrası İran enerji siyaseti ve nükleer enerji kapasitesi geliştirme nedenleri irdelenmiştir. Bu tartışmaların varış noktası olarak son bölümde Hatemi, Ahmedinejat ve Ruhani dönemleri ayrı ayrı incelenmiş ve nükleer enerji siyasetleri arasındaki fark ve benzerlikler ortaya konulmuştur.</p>

The article deals with the modern energy policy of Japan. The main analysis is devoted to the transformation of the Japanese energy development strategy after two large-scale energy crises in the country’s recent history — the "oil shocks" of the 1970s and the "nuclear crisis" of 2011. These crises initially occurred in diff erent sectors of energy and one had an external character (was provoked by the actions of Gulf countries) and internal (man-made accidents in Japan), but they both exposed the vulnerability of the structure of the Japanese fuel and energy crisis and demanded rethinking and transformation of energy policy. The article examines the extent to which Japan has managed to formulate and implement new eff ective approaches to overcome the energy crisis that has arisen since 2011. and caused by internal causes (endogenous factors), and the modernization of the national fuel and energy complex, in comparison with the anti-crisis measures taken in the fi eld of energy policy transformation after the energy crisis of the 1970s, caused by exogenous causes. For this purpose, the offi cial strategic plans for the development of energy in Japan are analyzed, starting from 2010 and up to the current plan for 2018. The article also examines the offi cial government plans for the technological development of the country’s energy sector up to 2050. The author attempts to track how the attitude to the use of nuclear power generation changed after 2011 in Japan and why it was still decided not to abandon it. The role of renewable energy sources in achieving these goals is analyzed. In the article, the author focuses on how, after the energy crises of the 1970s and 2011, approaches to the interpretation of the concept of national energy security. changed in Japan.
