Abstract

Yenilenen Avrupa Komşuluk Politikası Perspektifinden Avrupa Birliği’nin Doğu Komşularına Yaklaşımı

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Avrupa Birliği’nin (AB) 2004
yılında resmi politika çıktısı olarak Avrupa Komşuluk Politikası’nı (AKP)
oluşturduktan sonra belirlediği Doğu komşuları ile olan ilişkilerini ve bu
ilişkilerin günümüzdeki durumu ve ilişkilerin geleceği konusunda çeşitli
analizler içermektedir. AKP’nin oluşturulma nedenleri, siyasi açıdan gelişim
süreci, politikanın boyutları, araçları ve amaçları da açıklanmaktadır. Öte
yandan, AB’nin Doğu komşuları ile olan ilişkilerinde Rusya Federasyonu’nun (RF)
etkisi tarihsel, ekonomik ve toplumsal bağları açısından öne çıkmaktadır. AB’nin
Doğu komşuları amaçlarını gerçekleştirebilmeleri açısından AB ve RF arasında
bir tercih yapmak zorunda kalmaları veya karşılaştıkları ikilemler AKP’nin gidişatını
belirleyen en önemli faktörlerdendir. Bu bağlamda, Doğu Avrupa ülkelerinin AB
ve RF ile olan karşılıklı bağımlılıkları da önem taşımaktadır. 2015 yılında
Avrupa Komisyonu tarafından yayımlanan AKP belgesinde doğu Avrupa ülkelerinin siyasi
önceliklerine dayalı olarak AKP’nin güncellenmesi gerektiği belirtilmiştir. Yeni
yaklaşıma göre, işbirliğine ve bütünleşmeye günümüzde fazla istekli olmayan Doğu
komşuları ile olan ilişkilerinde AB “koşulluluk politikası” yerine daha çok “farklılaştırma”
ve “esneklik” politikaları benimseyecektir. Sonuç olarak bu çalışmada AKP’nin hangi
yöne doğru ve nasıl evirileceği konusunda bir süreç analizi yapılmaktadır.
