Kalkınma ajansları modeli Avrupa Birliği (AB) tarafından tüm aday ve üye ülkelere bölgesel kalkınma farklılıklarının giderilmesinde zorunlu bir politika aracı olarak önerilmektedir. Türkiye’de AB müzakerelerinin başladığı dönemden bu yana çeşitli illerdeki yerel yönetimler aracılığıyla kalkınma ajanslarının kurulmaya başlandığı ve sayılarının giderek arttığı görülmektedir.
5449 sayılı kanunla 2006 yılında uygulamaya konulan kalkınma ajansları bu noktada incelenmeye ve üzerinde tartışılmaya değer bir konu olarak görülmektedir. Ancak, sadece bu yapıların iç işleyişine değinmek ve daha genel bir bakış açısıyla ajansların neden ve nasıl kurulduklarını görmezden gelmek kalkınma ajanslarını açıklamakta yetersiz kalmaktadır. Bu nedenle, kalkınma ajanslarının ne olup olmadığını görebilmek için bölgeselleşme politikasını ana hedeflerinden biri olarak uygulayan Avrupa Birliği ve Avrupa Konseyi’nin politikalarına yakından bakmak gerekmektedir. Böyle bir yöntemin benimsenmesinin nedeni ise kalkınma ajanslarının bir politika transferi örneği olduğunun düşünülmesidir.

A Study on the Role of Development Agencies in Reform and Policy Transfers in Turkey

Öz

The development agency model is recommended by the European Union (EU) to all candidate and member countries as an obligatory policy tool in eliminating regional development disparities. It is seen that since the beginning of the EU negotiations in Turkey, development agencies have started to be established through local governments in various provinces and their number is gradually increasing.
The development agencies, which were put into practice in 2006 with the Law No. 5449, are seen as a subject worth examining and discussing at this point. However, only addressing the inner workings of these structures and ignoring why and how agencies were established from a more general point of view is insufficient to explain development agencies. For this reason, it is necessary to look closely at the policies of the European Union and the Council of Europe, which implement the regionalization policy as one of its main objectives, to see what development agencies are. The reason for adopting such a method is development agencies are thought to be an example of policy transfer.
