JEOEKONOMİK REKABETİN YENİ ROTASI: KUŞAK VE YOL GİRİŞİMİ İLE IMEC PROJESİNİN YENİ TİCARET TEORİLERİ ÇERÇEVESİNDE KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI

Abstract

Jeoekonomik ve ticari açıdan ticaret yollarının ve ekonomik iş birliğinin önemi her geçen gün artmaktadır. Tarih boyunca küresel ticaret yolları her zaman stratejik öneme sahip olmuştur. İpek Yolu gibi kadim ticaret yolları, erken dönem ticaret ve kültürel alışverişi kolaylaştırmıştır. Ancak teknik ve politik aksaklıklar küresel tedarik zincirlerini yeni rotalara zorlamıştır. Süveyş Kanalı gibi önemli nakliye rotalarındaki aksamalar, küresel ticaretteki kırılganlıkları ortaya çıkarmıştır. Dünyamızdaki değişen ticari ve ekonomik merkezler yeni rotalar getirmiştir. Küresel ticaretin ekseni, Kuzey Amerika ve Avrupa Birliği'ndeki geleneksel merkezlerden, özellikle Çin, Japonya ve Güney Kore gibi Doğu Asya ekonomilerinin yönlendirdiği Asya-Pasifik bölgesine kaymıştır. Bu ortamda, günümüzün iki önemli ekonomik iş birliği yeni ticaret yollarının ortaya çıkmasına yol açmıştır. Kuşak ve Yol Girişimi (BRI) ve Uluslararası Ticaret ve Ekonomi Merkezi (IMEC) en çok konuşulan iki projedir. Bu projelerin yalnızca ticari değil aynı zamanda politik sonuçları da olması, jeoekonomi kavramını ön plana çıkarmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Melitz'in yeni ticaret teorisini jeoekonomi kavramı çerçevesinde kullanarak BRI ve IMEC'i karşılaştırmaktır.

THE NEW ROUTE OF GEOECONOMIC COMPETITION: COMPARISON OF THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE AND THE IMEC PROJECT WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF NEW TRADE THEORIES

Abstract

The importance of trade routes and economic cooperation in geoeconomic and commercial terms is increasing day by day. Throughout history, global trade routes have always been of strategic importance. Ancient trade routes, such as the Silk Road, facilitated early trade and cultural exchange. However, technical and political disruptions have forced global supply chains to new routes. Disruptions to key shipping routes, such as the Suez Canal, have underlined vulnerabilities in global trade. Changing commercial and economic centers in our world have brought new routes. The axis of global trade has shifted from traditional hubs in North America and the European Union to include the Asia-Pacific region, which is driven by East Asian economies such as China, Japan, and South Korea in particular. In this environment, today's two important economic collaborations have led to the emergence of new trade routes. BRI and IMEC are the two most discussed projects. The fact that these projects have not only commercial but also political consequences has brought the concept of geoeconomy to the fore. This study aims to compare BRI and IMEC using Melitz's new trade theory within the framework of the concept of geoeconomics.
