Abstract

Mevcut çalışma, bölgeselcilik
kavramsallaştırması üzerinden Karadeniz Ekonomik İşbirliği Örgütü (KEİ)
bağlamında Karabağ çatışmasının etkisi ve yansımalarını araştırmaktadır. Karabağ
çatışmasının, tesis edilmesinden itibaren KEİ’nin duraksamasının başat nedeni
olduğu temel savı çerçevesinde, öncelikle bölge ve bölgeselcilik kavramlarına
ilişkin özet bir açıklama sunmaktadır. İkinci olarak, KEİ’nin doğuşu, evrimi ve
duraksamasına dair bilgi vermektedir. Üçüncü olarak, ulusal ve uluslararası
haber arşivlerinden elde edilen veriler temelinde Karabağ çatışmasının
yansımalarını incelemektedir. Dördüncü olarak, söz konusu verilerin,
bölgeselcilik dahilindeki ilgili alt savlar temelinde yorumlanmasına
çalışılmaktadır. Nihai tahlilde, Karabağ çatışmasının devamlılığı dikkate
alındığında, KEİ’nin gelecekte yüksek durağanlık olasılığı teyit edilmektedir.

The Implications Of The Karabagh Conflict In The Context Of BSEC As A Regionalism Case

Abstract

This paper inquires the impact and the
implications of the Karabagh conflict in the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC)
context through the conceptualization of regionalism. In the framework of the
main argument that the Karabagh conflict stands as a major reason for the stagnation
of the BSEC since its establishment, it first provides a brief account on the
concepts of region and regionalism. Second, it provides information on the
birth, the evolution, and the stagnation of the BSEC. Third, it investigates
the reverberations of the Karabagh conflict on the basis of the data collected
from the national and the international news archives. Fourth, it attempts to
construe the data on the basis of the relevant sub-arguments in regionalism. In
the final analysis, the high likelihood of the stagnation of the BSEC is
affirmed, given the persistence of the Karabagh conflict.
