Abstract
This study is held in order to determine whether some Middle Eastern countries have converged to EU countries in terms of economy and politics as dimensions of globalization. Existence of any convergence is tested via Harvey ve Leybourne (2008) linearity tests. It has been deduced that Quwait has converged EU-27 average from the point of economic globalization and the country also has converged EU-15 average from the point of social globalization. Similarly, Saudi Arabia has converged EU-9 and EU-15 avearges from the point of socail globalization. Egypt and Jordan have converged both EU-9 and EU- 15 average from the point of political globalization. Turkey has just converged EU-9 from the point of political globalization. And Iran has just converged EU-15 average from the point of economical globalization. It hasn’t been detected any convergence for other countries analysed.

Abstract
Bu çalışmada bazı Orta Doğu ülkelerinin küreselleşmenin ekonomik, politik ve sosyal boyutları açısından AB ülkelerine yakınsama durumu ele alınmıştır. Serilerin doğrusal olup olmadığı Harvey-Leybourne (2007) ve Harvey ve Leybourne (2008) doğrusallık testleri ile incelenmiştir. Serilerin doğrusal dışı olması sebebiyle Enders and Granger (1998) birim kök testi ile yakınsamanın varlığı araştırılmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda, Kuveyt’in ekonomik küreselleşme açısından AB- 27 ortalamasına ve sosyal küreselleşme açısından ise AB-15 ortalamasına yakınsadığı tespit edilmiştir. Suudi Arabistan’ın ise AB-9 ve AB-15 ortalamasına sosyal küreselleşme açısından yakınsadığı görülmüştür. Mısır ve Ürdün, hem AB-9 ortalamasına hem de AB-15 ortalamasına politik küreselleşme açısından yakınsamıştır. Türkiye ise yalnızca AB-9 ortalamasına politik açıdan yakınsamıştır. İran’ın ise yalnızca AB-15 ortalamasına ekonomik küreselleşme açısından yakınsadığı sonucuna erişilmiştir. Diğer ülkeler için yakınsama tespit edilmemiştir.
