border-Eurogios), projects (project-based collaborative work to solve a
specific problem). In line with all these definitions, the municipalities have
established partnerships with neighboring cities to reach different knowledge
and experiences within the scope of an international joint project or in order

İstanbul İlçe Belediyelerinin Dış İlişkileri

Year 2018, Volume: 1 Issue: 3, 303 - 316, 30.12.2018

Abstract

Günümüzde
uluslararası ilişkiler, ulusal olduğu kadar yerel ve bölgesel yönetimlerce de
sürdürülmektedir. Bu da yerel diplomasi diye adlandırılmıştır. Yerel yönetimler
diğer ülke yerel yönetimleri ile birlikte ortak faaliyetlerde bulunmak amacıyla
dış ilişkiler faaliyetlerini yürütmektedir. Belediyeler arasındaki iş
birlikleri; eşleştirme, kardeş şehir, ortaklık uygulamaları olarak
bilinmektedir. Bu iş birliği şekilleri; Uluslararası ağlar (UCLG (Birleşmiş
Kentler ve Yerel Yönetimler), Eurocities, Sağlıklı Kentler vb.) şeklindeki
platformlar, çalışma ziyaretleri (Belediye heyetlerinin karşılıklı
ziyaretleri), sınır ötesi iş birlikleri (aynı sınırı paylaşan ülke belediyeleri
arasında ortak bir sorunu çözmeye yönelik düzenlemeler-Eurogios), projeler
(Belli bir sorunu çözmek için proje bazında ortak çalışmalar yapılması)
şeklinde açıklanabilir. Tüm bu tanımlar doğrultusunda, belediyeler,
karşılaştıkları sorunlarla ilgili ve kapasitelerini geliştirmek amacıyla, veya
uluslararası ortak proje kapsamında farklı bilgilere ve tecrübelere ulaşmak
için komşu şehirlerle ortaklıklar kurmuşlardır. Ayrıca, Avrupa Birliği’nin hibe
fonlarından yararlanmada iş birliklerinin önemli bir koşul olması, bu konudaki
ilginin artmasında etkili olmuştur. Bu çalışma, İstanbul ilçe belediyelerinin
özellikle kurumsal kapasite geliştirmeye yönelik dış ilişlerinin yapısı,
boyutları ve elde edilen katkıları değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma,
kurumsal resmi kaynaklar yanında, yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile toplanan veriler
çerçevesinde tamamlanmıştır.
