Abstract

In the
literature, transnational networking of subnational authorities - involvement
of local and regional governments with their counterparts in various
interaction processes in the context of cooperation and partnership - can be
regarded as one of the recent notable elements of EU governance. In this
respect, this kind of network activities implies a facilitating role for
engagement of subnational authorities in EU governance processes.

Furthermore,
it is argued that subnational authorities come together for networking
activities such as mutual information sharing, cooperation, joint project
development, best practices exchange, lobbying activities, access to financial
resources and in this regard some studies consider that these authorities are
getting active in the EU governance processes, and they may find some
opportunities to enhance their interaction and visibility.

Within the
scope of this paper, the context related to EU governance and subnational authorities
is discussed through the perspective of governance networks as indicating the analysis
of various approaches, and the contribution of the studies to be done in this field
to local government literature is appraised.

Avrupa Yönetişimi ve Ulusaltı Yönetimlerin Ulusötesi Ağ Faaliyetleri

Abstract

Literatürde ulusaltı yönetimlerin ulusötesi ağ faaliyetleri (transnational
networking)- yerel ve bölgesel yönetimlerin muadilleri ile işbirliği ve
ortaklık bağlamında çeşitli etkileşim süreçleri içine girmesi- AB yönetişiminin
dikkat çeken unsurlarından biri olarak değerlendirilebilmektedir. Bu bağlamda
söz konusu ağ faaliyetlerinin ulusaltı yönetimlerin AB yönetişim süreçlerine
dahil olmalarında kolaylaştırıcı bir rol üstlendiği ifade edilebilmektedir.

Bununla birlikte, ulusaltı yönetimlerin karşılıklı bilgi
paylaşımı, işbirliği, ortak proje geliştirme, en iyi uygulama paylaşımı, lobi
faaliyetleri yürütme, finansal kaynaklara erişim gibi amaçlarla bir araya
geldikleri ve ağ faaliyeti gerçekleştirdikleri belirtilebilirken, bu yolla söz
konusu idarelerin AB yönetişim süreçleri içinde hareketlilik kazandıkları,
etkileşim ve görünürlüklerini arttırdıkları tartışılabilmektedir.

Bu çalışma çerçevesinde ulusaltı yönetimler ve AB
yönetişimine ilişkin bağlam yönetişim ağları perspektifinden tartışılmakta;
farklı yaklaşımlara dair değerlendirmeler vurgulanırken, bu alanda yapılacak
çalışmaların yerel yönetim literatürüne sağlayacağı katkı ele alınmaktadır.
