Abstract

Avrupa Birliği ve Türkiye arasında günümüzde yaşanmakta olan sorunlar demokrasiden, ekonomik ilişkilere kadar birçok konuyu etkilemektedir. Krizden çıkış için öne sürülen çözüm önerileri sadece birkaç alanda etkili olabilmiş ve genel daralmayı çözememiştir. Avrupalılaşma konusu ise sürekli gerilemenin yaşandığı bir süreç haline gelmiştir. Olumsuzlukların yaşandığı bu dönemeçte ulaştırma ve ulaştırma alanında entegrasyonun istikrarlı bir şekilde AB’ye yaklaşması ise tuhaf ama olumlu bir gelişmeyi işaret etmektedir. Bu çalışma oldukça sorunlu bir dönemin içerisinde istikrarlı bir şekilde AB’ye entegre olan Türkiye ulaştırma politkalarını ve bütünleşmenin arkasındaki faktörleri ele almıştır. Dönemler içerisinde farklılık arz eden bu faktörler, Avrupalılaşma sürecinin devamını sağlamış ve ayrıca iç siyasi dinamiklerin de süreç için ne kadar önem arz ettiğini tekrar ortaya koymuştur.

CHANGING TRENDS IN EUROPEANIZATION: TURKEY’S ALIGNMENT ON TRANSPORT

Abstract

The current stalemate between the EU and Turkey directly affects much policy implementation, ranging from democracy to the economy. In terms of escaping from this crisis, the current proposed solutions seem to be only effective in a handful of areas. Concerning Turkey’s Europeanization, there is certain inertia. In a fraught period, transport policy is a surprising success story, with its stability and continuation in the alignment process. This study investigates the main reasons and driving forces behind this curious case. The changing dynamics between different periods has not only changed the background factors but also contributed to a progressive approach, which has once again showed the importance of domestic political preferences when it comes to Europeanization.
