Bu çalışma, Avrupa Birliği’nin Batı Balkanlar’daki devletler üzerindeki siyasi, normatif ve ekonomik gücünün son yıllarda düşüşe geçtiğini ileri sürmektedir. Özellikle Birliğin ‘Avrupalılaştırma ‘ politikasının etkilerinin azalmasıyla birlikte Batı Balkanlar’da diğer bölgesel ve global aktörler için bir manevra alanı oluşmuştur. Rusya ve Çin ile birlikte bölgesel bir aktör olan Türkiye’nin de bölgedeki faaliyetlerini arttırması neticesinde, Batı Balkanlar bölgesel alt sisteminde tek kutupluluktan çok kutupluluğa doğru bir geçiş yaşanmıştır. Bu çalışma, güç dengesindeki bu dönüşüm doğrultusunda, Türkiye’nin AKP döneminde bölge ile ilişkilerinde meydana gelen değişimi, analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

AN EVALUATION OF TURKEY’S WESTERN BALKANS POLICY UNDER THE AKP AND PROSPECTS FOR THE POST-DAVUTOĞLU ERA

Öz

This article argues that in the last decade there is a visible decline in the political, normative and economic power of the European Union (EU) as a dominant actor in the Western Balkans (WB). Particularly the slowing down of the EU’s hegemonic project of Europeanization in the region created space for maneuver for other global and regional players. In this power vacuum, Turkey, alongside with Russia and China has aspired to play a central role in a region that is drifting into multi-polarity. This study aims to analyze Turkey's relations with the Western Balkans under the AKP Government.
