Abstract

Üye devletleri arasında Avrupa Birliğinin nerede harekete geçeceğine dair genel bir

anlaşma olmamasına rağmen, AB 2003’ten bu yana 30’dan fazla kriz yönetimi

operasyonu faaliyete geçirmiştir. Bu makale, AB’nin kriz yönetimi faaliyetini

açıklamak için üye ülkeler, AB’nin kurumsal çerçevesi ve uluslararası düzey

arasındaki etkileşime vurgu yapan üç-düzeyli bir analize ihtiyaç olduğunu iddia

etmektedir. Analizi AB ve üye ülkeleri arasındaki etkileşimle sınırlamak, AB’nin

neden ve nasıl belli operasyonları yaparken diğerlerini yapamadığı sorusuna cevap

vermeyecektir. Bu iddia, AB’nin Afrika’da başlattığı ya da uygulamaya koyamadığı

kriz yönetimi operasyonları yoluyla incelenecektir.

Explaining the EU’s Security and Defence Policy: The Need for Three-Level Analysis

Abstract

Although there is not a general agreement among its member states on where the EU

should take action, the EU has launched more than 30 crisis management missions

since 2003. This article argues that explaining the EU’s action in crisis management

requires a three-level analysis that highlights the interaction between the individual

member states, the EU’s institutional context and the international levels. Limiting

the analysis to the interaction between the EU and its member states will not provide

an answer to why and how the EU launches certain missions, whilst it fails to launch

others. This argument will be explored through the crisis management missions the

EU launched and failed to launch in Africa.
