SİYASAL İLETİŞİM VE MÜZAKERECİ DEMOKRASİ: SİSTEMİK YAKLAŞIMLA

Abstract

Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin medya içeriğini zenginleştirmesi ve dönüştürmesiyle birlikte siyasal
iletişim araştırmalarının odak noktası internet temelli platformlara doğru kaymıştır. Yeni internet tabanlı
iletişim platformları vatandaş katılımını – pozitif ya da negatif yönde – etkilemekte ve bu yeni katılım şekilleri
zincirleme bir etki yaratarak vatandaş, medya ve siyasi aktörler arasındaki ilişkinin de yeniden düzenlenmesini
gerekli kılmaktadır. Konu vatandaş katılımına geldiğinde, meşruiyet kavramından bahsetmek kaçınılmazdır. İki
yönlü bir fenomen olan meşruiyetin bir ucunda vatandaş diğer ucunda siyasi aktörler ve karar alıcılar yer
almaktadır. Bu noktada müzakereci demokrasi, vatandaş katılımı dolayısıyla demokratik karar alma sürecini
teşvik eden kendine has bir iletişim olarak tanımlanabilir. Müzakereci demokrasi ve siyasal iletişim arasında da
yakın bir ilişki vardır; her ikisi de grup içi iletişimi, kişilerarası ve kültürlerarası iletişimi temel çalışma alanları
olarak ele almaktadırlar. Bununla birlikte her ikisi de araştırma yöntemi olarak kapsayıcı ve bütüncül bir
yaklaşıma ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Zira yeni medya çalışmaları demokrasi ve katılım konularını ele almak
konusunda sıkıntı yaşamaktadır. Bu çalışma, müzakereci demokrasi alanına uygulanabilir olan sistemik
yaklaşımın, bütüncül bir bakış açısına ihtiyaç duyan siyasal iletişim çalışmalarına da uygulanabilir olduğunu öne
sürmektedir. Demokratik değerlerle ilgili derin tartışmalara girmekten kaçınılarak, ilk olarak siyasal iletişim
kavramı ve bu kavramın vatandaş katılımı üzerindeki etkileri sonrasında müzakereci demokrasi ve siyasal
iletişimin ortak noktaları ve üçüncü kısımda da sistemik yaklaşımın neden gerekli olduğu ve sonraki
araştırmalara yöntem olarak nasıl yön verebileceği ortaya konmaya çalışılacaktır.
