Türkiye'nin Avrupa ile Ekonomik Bütünleşmesinin Kökenleri: Bağımlılık ve ABD Önderliğindeki Uluslararası Sistem (1945-1960)

Öz

Bu çalışma, Türkiye-Avrupa ilişkilerini, Avrupa Birliği (AB) aracılığıyla gerçekleşen kurumsal tarihsel gelişimi bağlamında değil, ABD öncülüğündeki uluslararası ekonomik sistemin bir parçası olarak Türkiye'nin yapısal bağımlılık ilişkileri çerçevesinde inceler. Avrupa için sistemin temelleri Marshall Planı ile belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada, Türkiye-Avrupa ilişkilerinin ekonomi politiğinin doğasını anlamak için bağımlılık teorisi kullanılmıştır. Bu teori, çevre bir devletin merkezle olan ilişkileri sonucunda nasıl krizlerle karşılaştığını göstermektedir. Türkiye'nin bu sisteme entegrasyon sorunları, bağımlı karakterini yansıtmakta ve onu krizlere yatkın hale getirmektedir.

The Origins of Turkey’s Economic Integration with Europe: Dependency and the US-Led International System (1945-1960)

Öz

This study examines Turkey - Europe relations not within its institutional historical development through the European Union (the EU), but within the framework of Turkey's structural dependency relationships, as a part of the US-led international economic system whose foundations for Europe were determined with the Marshall Plan. To comprehend the nature of the political economy of Turkey-Europe relations, dependency theory is used. This theory indicates how a peripheral state faces crises as a result of its relations with the center. Turkey’s problems of integration into this system reflect a dependent character and it is prone to crises.
