Abstract

Münasebetleri eskiye dayanan taraflar olarak AB ile bölgesinde önemli bir ülke olan Türkiye arasındaki ilişkilerin kopmadan belirli bir düzeyde devam etmesi her iki tarafında faydasınadır. Brexit sonrası genişleme yorgunu bir AB ve entegrasyonun geleceği tartışılırken, Türkiye’nin bu bütünleşme içinde nasıl ve ne şekilde yer alacağı da merak konusudur. AB’den uzun yıllar boyunca üyelik için olumu işaret alamayan ancak bununla beraber AB ile de belirli bir çizgide ilişkisini sürdürmek isteyen Türkiye ile Türkiye’yi tamamen kaybetmek istemeyen bir AB vardır. Taraflar arasındaki münasebetlerin belirli bir düzeyde devamı için mevcut Gümrük Birliği entegrasyonu korunması, geliştirilmesi gereken bir ortaklık biçimi olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Türkiye’nin AB ile geliştirdiği Gümrük Birliği ilişkileri, iktisadi nitelikli, üyelik harici derin ve kapsamlı münasebetlerin mümkün olabildiği bir alandır. Tam üyelik yakın gelecekte mümkün olmayacaksa karşılıklı menfaatlerin yüksek olduğu ekonomik alanda Gümrük Birliği zemininde gelişecek iyi ilişkilerin siyasi alana da olumlu yansıması olacaktır. Çalışma, Gümrük Birliği ekseninde harici farklılaştırılmış entegrasyon kuramları ışığında Türkiye ile AB arasındaki ilişkilerin seyrini ve bütünleşme ihtimalini araştırmaktadır.

Customs Union and External Differentiated Integration as an Opportunity in Turkey-EU Relations

Abstract

It is to the benefit of both parties that the relations between the EU and Turkey, which is an important country in its region, as parties with long-standing relations, continue at a certain level without breaking. While discussing a post-Brexit-weary EU and the future of integration, it is also a matter of curiosity how and how Turkey will take part in this integration. There is an EU that does not want to lose Turkey completely, and Turkey, which has not been able to get a positive sign for membership from the EU for many years, but still wants to maintain its relationship with the EU in a certain line. In order for the relations between the parties to continue at a certain level, the existing Customs Union integration is considered as a form of partnership that needs to be maintained and developed. The Customs Union relations that Turkey has developed with the EU is an area where deep and comprehensive relations with an economic nature are possible. If full membership will not be possible for Turkey in the near future, good relations that will develop on the basis of the Customs Union in the economic field, where mutual benefits are high, will also have a positive reflection on the political field. The study investigates the course of relations between Turkey and the EU and the possibility of integration in the light of external differentiated integration theories on the axis of the Customs Union
