Milenyum Çağında AB Kimliğinin Analizi (2010-2018)

Abstract

Uluslararası ilişkiler disiplininde Avrupa ile ilgili konular her zaman dikkat çekmektedir. Avrupa kavramı genellikle Avrupa Birliğiyle (AB) özdeşleşmiştir. Avrupa Birliği ise bölgesel olarak bütünleşmeyi öngören bireylerin, toplulukların ve devletlerin ortak özlemidir. Doğal olarak bu amaca ulaşmak çok çaba gerektirmektedir ve bunun için ortak değerlere dair farkındalığın oluşturulması ve geliştirilmesi de temel hedef olmaktadır. Özellikle bireylerin değişen kimliksel aidiyetleri AB’ye olan aidiyetlerini de etkilemektedir. Çalışmamızda bireylerin uluslarına ve AB’ye karşı olan aidiyet durumu Sosyal Kimlik Teorisi ve İnşacı Teori çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Bu teorilerin benimsenmesinin temel nedeni ise gerek bireylerin gerekse de kurumsal üst yapı hakkındaki karşılıklı değerlendirmelerde en iyi sonucu vermelerinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Çalışmada geniş bir literatür taraması neticesinde elde edilen verilerden bireylerin AB kimlik aidiyetine dair bakış açılarında; özellikle AB’nin büyük genişlemesi, Avro Bölgesi krizi ve Brexit süreçlerine rağmen dikkate değer bir artış gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Avrupa Birliğinin bütünleşme süreci zorlu olaylarla sınanmasına rağmen halen güçlü bir şekilde desteklenmektedir.

Analysis of EU Identity in the Millennium Age (2010-2018)

Abstract

In the discipline of international relations, European issues always attract attention. The concept of Europe is generally associated with the European Union (EU). The European Union, on the other hand, is the common longing of individuals, communities, and states that envision regional integration. Naturally, achieving this goal requires a lot of effort and for this, creating and developing awareness of common values is the main goal. Especially the changing identity of individuals affects their belonging to the EU. In our study, the state of belonging of individuals towards their nations and the EU was examined within the framework of Social Identity Theory and Constructivist Theory. The main reason for the adoption of these theories is that they give the best results in mutual evaluations of both individuals and the institutional superstructure. From the data obtained as a result of a wide literature review in the study, in the perspectives of individuals regarding the EU identity belonging; It has been determined that it has shown a remarkable increase especially despite the large enlargement of the EU, the Eurozone crisis and Brexit processes. Although the European Union's integration process has been challenged, it is still strongly supported.
