Türkiye-AB İlişkilerinin Başlangıcına Dönüş: Kurumsal Yapının İnşası ve Eksiklikleri

Öz

AET ve Yunanistan arasında imzalanan Atina Antlaşması sonrası, 1963 Ankara Antlaşması ile kurulan ortaklık tüm tartışmaları ve farklı yorumlarına rağmen bugün hala AB-Türkiye ilişkilerinin en temel kurumsal yapı taşını oluşturmaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışma, müzakereleri paralel devam eden ve aynı dönemde imzalanan fakat AET ile ilişkilerde birbirinden farklı iki sürece yol açan iki ortaklık antlaşmasının karşılaştırılmalı bir analizini sunmaktadır. Açık arşiv dokümanları ve ikincil kaynaklar ile desteklenen çalışma Ankara antlaşması ile kurulan ortaklık yapısını yeni kurumsalcı yaklaşımlar ışığında karşılaştırmalı ve tarihsel bir analize tabii tutarak, ilişkilerin kurumsal temelini, tasarımını, içeriğini ve eksikliklerini, diğer antlaşma ile farklılıklarını tartışmayı ve günümüz ilişkilerine etkisini yeniden değerlendirmeyi hedeflemektedir.

BACK TO THE ORIGINS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION - TURKEY RELATIONS: ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INSTITUTIONALIZED PATHWAY AND ITS SHORTCOMINGS

Abstract

After the Athens Agreement signed with Greece, Turkey became the second associate member of the EEC with ister kin duthe signature of the 1963 Ankara Agreement which established an institutionalized pathway that is open to interpretation and contestation until today. The study offers an analysis based on archival data, secondary sources and a comparison of two association agreements which negotiated and signed at the same time-span but resulted in two different pathways. Based on new institutionalist approaches, the article aims to situate the agreement and the association in a historical and comparative context while tracing the origins and shortcomings of this institutionalized pathway which is still relevant for Turkey-EU relations.

Keywords
