Abstract

The European Union’s EU counter-terrorism strategy enhances the cooperation and coordination among Member States. This study aims, on the one hand to comprehend the EU’s counter-terrorism strategy, while seeking an answer for the question of whether counter-terrorism strategy is a new area of integration within the EU on the other hand. In this study, the concept of integration is referred as the process of delegation of authority in a particular policy-area to a higher authority by the states of a specific geographical region. Methodology of the study is based on the critical analysis of the strategy documents that have been adopted within the EU and well as the academic literature on the subject matter. In terms of determining the limits of the scope of the subject, the attention will be focused specifically on the area of internal security among various policy-areas.

Avrupa Birliği’nin Terörizmle Mücadele Stratejisi: Yeni Bir Bütünleşme Alanı Mı?

Öz

AB’nin terörizmle mücadele stratejisi üye devletlerin işbirliği ve eşgüdüm çalışmalarını artırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, bir yandan Avrupa Birliği’nin terörizmle mücadele stratejisi anlaşılmaya çalışılırken, bir yandan da terörizmle mücadele stratejisinin AB içerisinde yeni bir bütünleşme alanı olup olmadığı sorusuna yanıt aranmaktadır. Bütünleşme, belirli bir coğrafi bölgedeki devletlerin daha üst bir otoriteye belli bir alanda yetki aktarma süreci anlamında kullanılmaktadır. Yöntem olarak, AB bünyesinde benimsenen strateji belgelerinin ve konuya ilişkin akademik yazının kritik bir analizi yapılmaktadır. Konunun sınırlılığını belirleyebilmek adına, terörizmle mücadele stratejisinin içerdiği çeşitli politika alanlarından iç güvenlik alanına odaklanılmaktadır
