Abstract

SELF-DETERMİNASYON HAREKETLERİNDE KAMU DİPLOMASİSİNİN ROLÜ: KATALONYA ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

Bu çalışma self-determinasyon hareketlerinde kamu diplomasisinin nasıl uygulandığını ve bu uygulamaların bağımsızlık sürecine ne derece etki ettiğini incelemektedir. Bu soruya geçerli bir yanıt bulmak amacıyla, çalışma güncel self-determinasyon vakası olan Katalonya mercek altına alınacaktır. Bu amaçla, İlk bölümde akademik literatürdeki kamu diplomasisi çalışmaları üzerine kapsamlı bir inceleme yapılacak, özellikle kamu diplomasisi literatürünün self-determinasyon bağlamında gözden kaçırdıkları detaylıca tartışılacaktır. İkinci bölümde referandum sürecinde bağımsızlık yanlısı Katalanların yaptığı kapsamlı kamu diplomasisi faaliyetlerine odaklanılacaktır. Katalanların self-determinasyon amaçlı sürdürdükleri kamu diplomasisi faaliyetleri resmi kanallar ve popüler kanallar olmak üzere iki temel kategoriye ayrılmaktadır. Her iki kategoride de hem bireyler hem de kurumlae önemli birer kamu diplomasisi aktörü olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Sonuç bölümünde de Katalonya örneğinden yola çıkılarak self-determinasyon bağlamında uygulanan kamu diplomasisi stratejilerinin ne derece etkili olduğu sorusuna yanıt aranacaktır.
