Abstract

The Pacific Alliance, which has managed to attract the attention of the world’s states since its establishment, is seen as an important economic integration due to its high business potential, vision, dynamic structure and being among the top ten economies in the world. The Pacific Alliance, with its policy of few members and many observers, has begun to establish its brand value, and its members are among the world's countries with abundant iron ore deposits Due to its high back-and-forth repeatedly, the iron and steel sector is important as a complementary and developing sector in both international trade relations and economic union movements. For this reason, the study aims to evaluate the steel industries of Mexico, Peru, Chile and Colombia as well as which country has taken on the task of being the locomotive power of industrialisation. The study employed MEREC_COBRA multi-criteria decision-making techniques, utilizing data from the 2019–2021 period. The study concluded that Mexico has the best performance in the steel industry.

Pasifik İttifakı’nın Çelik Endüstrisinde Söz Sahibi Kim: Çok Kriterli Karar Verme Yöntemlerinden Kanıtlar

Abstract

Kurulduğu yıldan bugüne dünya devletlerinin ilgisini çekmeyi başaran Pasifik İttifakı, yüksek iş potansiyeli, vizyonu, dinamik yapısı ve dünyanın ilk on ekonomisi içerisinde yer alması gibi nedenlerle önemli bir ekonomik entegrasyon olarak görülmektedir. Az üye çok gözlemci politikasıyla marka değeri oluşturmaya başlayan Pasifik İttifakı’nın üyeleri aynı zamanda dünyanın zengin demir cevheri yataklarına sahip ülkeleri arasında sayılmaktadırlar. İleri geri bağlantısının yüksek olması nedeniyle hem uluslararası ticari ilişkilerde hem de iktisadi birlik hareketleri içerisinde demir çelik sektörü tamamlayıcı ve geliştirici bir sektör olarak önem arz etmektedir. Bu nedenle çalışma Meksika, Peru, Şili ve Kolombiya çelik endüstrilerini değerlendirmeye alarak, sanayileşmenin lokomotif gücü olma görevini hangi ülkenin üstlendiğini ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamıştır. 2019-2021 dönemi verilerinin kullanıldığı çalışmada yöntem olarak MEREC-COBRA çok kriterli karar verme tekniklerinden faydalanılmıştır. Çalışma çelik endüstrisinde en iyi performansın Meksika’ya ait olduğu bulgusuyla sonuçlandırılmıştır.
