Abstract

Araştırmanın temelleri: Savaş sonrası dönem, ülkeler arasındaki ticaretin derinleşmesi ve genişletilmesine yönelik ticaretin serbestleştirilmesi ve bölgesel entegrasyon anlaşmalarının hayata geçirildiği bir dönem olma özelliğine sahiptir. Bu kapsamda, bölgesel entegrasyon anlaşmaları ile ilgili güncel tartışmalar bu anlaşmaların birliğe üye olmayan ülkelere etkileri üzerinde yoğunlaşmıştır.Araştırmanın amacı: Bu çalışmanın amacı, bölgesel entegrasyon anlaşmalarını ve bunların üçüncü ülkeler üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Bu kapsamda bölgesel entegrasyonun ticaret yaratıcı ve ticaret saptırıcı etkileri ele alınmaktadır. Veri kaynakları: Çalışma, bölgesel entegrasyon anlaşmalarının üçüncü ülkelere etkilerini teorik açıdan ele alan bir değerlendirme çalışmasıdır. Çalışmanın veri kaynakları, bölgesel entegrasyon anlaşmalarının etkilerinin araştıran çalışmalardır.Ana tartışma ve sonuçlar: Çalışma bölgesel entegrasyon anlaşmalarının fayda ve maliyetlerinin anlaşmaya üye ülkeler ile üye olmayan ülkeler üzerindeki etkilerini analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, bölgeselleşme ile üye ülkeler arasında ticaretin önündeki engellerin azaltılmasının yanında üçüncü ülkelerle ticarette ticaretin saptırıcı etkilerinin çıkmasına neden olduğu sonucuna varmıştır

REGIONAL INTEGRATION AGREEMENTS AND THEIR IMPACTS ON THIRD COUNTRIES

Abstract

Bases of the research: The postwar period has been characterized by the liberalization of trade and the formation of RIAs intended to deepen and widen the economic relations between member countries. In this context, most of the current debate on RIAs has focused on their impact on non-member countries.Purpose of the research: The purpose of this article is to discuss the aspects of RIAs and their implications on non-member countries. In this context, this study raises the question of the effects of trade creation and trade diversion. Data Sources: The study discusses the impacts of regional integration agreements on third countries from a theoretical approach. The data resources of the study are the research studies conducted on the role impact of regional integration agreements.Main argument and the results: This paper tries to find out how are the benefits and costs of RIAs are divided between member and non-member countries. The study concludes that regionalism not only reduce the barriers to trade among its member economies but also it result in at least some diversion of trade with non-member countries
