Abstract

Bu çalışma, Birleşik Arap Emirlikleri'nde (BAE) federalizmin teorik temellerini ve pratik uygulamalarını incelerken, özellikle Emirlikler arasındaki çatışma alanlarına odaklanmaktadır. Federalizmin tarihsel kökenleri ve günümüzdeki uygulamaları arasındaki evrimsel süreç, çeşitli örneklerle detaylandırılmaktadır. Federal ve yerel yönetimler arasındaki güç dengesi ve işbirliği mekanizmaları, bu çok katmanlı yönetim sisteminin temel yapı taşlarını oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma ayrıca, BAE'nin emirlikler arası ilişkileri ve içsel dengeleri üzerinden federal sistemin dinamiklerini ele almakta, özellikle Abu Dabi'nin liderlik rolü ve diğer emirliklerle olan ilişkilerinin bölgesel politikalara nasıl yön verdiğini ve BAE için hangi zorlukları beraberinde getirdiğini analiz etmektedir.

Federative Solution Models: The UAE's Internal Balances and Inter-Emirate Conflict Areas

Abstract

This study examines the theoretical foundations and practical applications of federalism in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with a focus on the areas of conflict between the Emirates. The evolutionary process from the historical roots of federalism to its modern implementations is detailed through various examples. The balance of power and mechanisms of cooperation between federal and local governments form the foundational elements of this multi-layered governance system. The study also addresses the dynamics of the federal system through the inter-Emirate relationships and internal balances, specifically analyzing the role of Abu Dhabi's leadership and its relations with other Emirates in shaping regional policies and the challenges it presents for the UAE.
