EU Maritime Security Strategy: A Theoretical Analysis

Öz

How can we explain the integration of EU maritime foreign and security policy? In other words, how can we explain the addition of the 'maritime' as a new dimension to the EU's foreign and security policy? What are the main mechanisms that ensure integration in the maritime domain? What were the driving forces behind member states' adoption of the EU Maritime Security Strategy (EUMSS), which they initially opposed, after a short period of time? This article aims to clarify these questions by conducting an in-depth and theoretical study of the adoption of the EUMSS.

AB DENİZ GÜVENLİĞİ STRATEJİSİ: TEORİK BİR İNCELEME

Öz

AB deniz dış ve güvenlik politikası entegrasyonunu nasıl açıklayabiliriz? Yani AB’nin dış ve güvenlik politikasına yeni bir boyut olarak ‘deniz’in eklenmesini nasıl açıklayabiliriz? Denizcilik alanında entegrasyonu sağlayan temel mekanizmalar nelerdir? Üye devletlerin başlangıçta karşı çıktıkları AB Deniz Güvenliği Stratejisi’ni (ABDGS) (EU Maritime Security Strategy-EUMSS) kısa bir süre sonra kabul etmesinde hangi itici güçler etkili olmuştur? Bu makale, ABDGS’nin benimsenmesine ilişkin teorik bir çalışma yürüterek bu soruları açıklığa kavuşturmayı amaçlamaktadır.
