This study deals with the territorial structure of the European Union (EU), exclusively within the framework of political territoriality. The territoriality of the EU is mainly addressed in the context of modern and post-modern or post-national approaches. Such studies mostly conclude that the EU is a weak territorial or non-territorial organization. However, as a polity which produces a public order, the EU, along with the levels of governance it contains, has certain elements of territoriality, a spatial control strategy that may be applied in different intensity. In this regard, the EU should not be considered as a non-territorial polity. It establishes an autonomous territorial functioning through its legal capacity and tools. In a multi-level structure, the EU creates a governmental arena where interactions are organized in cooperation with the actors at lower levels, especially with the member states. Thus, a territorial boundedness is forged at the supranational level.

Anahtar Kelimeler

AVRUPA BİRLİĞİ DÜZEYİNDE YÖNETİŞİM VE SİYASAL TERİTORYALİTE

Öz

Bu çalışma, Avrupa Birliği’nin (AB) teritoryal yapısını, münhasıran teritoryalitenin siyasal boyutu kapsamında analiz etmektedir. AB’nin teritoryal niteliği, ağırlıklı olarak modern ile post-modern veya post-nasyonel şeklinde tek bir kavram altında birleştirilebilecek yaklaşımlar ve bunların teritoryal sonuçları açısından ele alınmaktadır. Bu kapsamda yapılmış olan çalışmalar da genellikle AB’nin ya zayıf bir teritoryal ya da teritoryal olmayan bir örgütlenme olduğu sonucuna ulaşmaktadır. Hâlbuki bir siyasal örgütlenme olan, belli bir mekânsal uzantı üzerinde etkinlik kuran ve kamusal nitelikte düzen üreten AB, bünyesinde barındırdığı yönetişim düzeyleriyle, mekânsal bir kontrol stratejisi olan ve farklı yoğunlukta uygulanabilen teritoryalitenin bazı temel unsurlarını bünyesinde barındırmaktadır. Bu bakımdan AB, teritoryal olmayan bir siyasal örgütlenme modeli olarak değerlendirilmemelidir. Sahip olduğu yasal kapasite ve araçlar çerçevesinde AB, özerk bir teritoryal işleyiş oluşturmakta ve çok düzeyli bir yapı içerisinde, başta üye devletler olmak üzere alt düzeydeki aktörlerle işbirliği yaparak etkileşimlerin düzenlendiği yönetimsel bir alan ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu şekilde uluslarüstü düzeyde teritoryal bir sınırlandırılmışlık tanzim edilmektedir.
