Abstract

The institutional development of European Union security policies has progressed more slowly than economic integration. The spread of terrorism, organised crime and other transnational threats has increased the need for common security mechanisms. This article examines the EU terrorist listing system within the broader process of institutionalising EU security policies. The analysis draws on the EU founding treaties, Council decisions, regulations and policy documents concerning the listing regime. The findings indicate that the terrorist listing system extends beyond a legal framework for restrictive measures. Common decision-making, coordination among EU institutions, the division of responsibilities between national authorities and EU institutions, and regular review procedures reflect the institutional development of security governance. The study demonstrates that the listing system is one of the structures shaping the European Union's security policies within a framework of common rules and institutional processes.

Özet

Avrupa Birliği'nin güvenlik politikaları, bütünleşme süreci boyunca ekonomik iş birliğine kıyasla daha yavaş kurumsallaşmıştır. Terörizm, organize suç ve diğer sınır aşan tehditlerin yaygınlaşması ise ortak güvenlik araçlarının geliştirilmesini zorunlu kılmıştır. Bu çalışma, Avrupa Birliği'nin terör listeleri sistemini (terrorist listing system) güvenlik politikalarının kurumsallaşması bağlamında ele almaktadır. İnceleme; kurucu antlaşmalar, Konsey kararları, Avrupa Birliği tüzükleri ve listeleme sistemine ilişkin politika belgeleri üzerinden yürütülmüştür. Değerlendirme sonucunda terör listeleri sisteminin yaptırımların uygulanmasına hizmet eden hukuki bir düzenleme olmanın ötesinde, ortak karar alma, kurumlar arası koordinasyon, ulusal makamlarla Avrupa Birliği kurumları arasındaki iş bölümü ve düzenli gözden geçirme usulleriyle güvenlik yönetişiminin kurumsal gelişimini yansıttığı görülmüştür. Çalışma, listeleme sisteminin Avrupa Birliği'nin güvenlik politikalarını ortak kurallar ve kurumsal süreçler çerçevesinde şekillendiren yapılardan biri olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.
