Abstract

Political parties play significant roles in the European Union (EU) accession process of candidate countries. Party positions at both domestic and the EU levels have a direct impact on the dynamics, direction, and the content of the integration as well as the candidate country’s relations with the EU. Therefore, a systemic re-evaluation of the party positions on the EU agenda would contibute to Turkish literature. This article designed a theoretical and methodological framework for the analysis of party positions on the EU agenda for causal explanation underlying these positions. This framework which is developed by reviewing Europeanization literature, as the main parameters of party politics focuses on political competition, ideology and identity politics models. The framework developed eight alternative hypotheses to analyze and compare alternative party positions (pro-European, soft-Eurosceptic, and hard-Eurosceptic).

Özet

Aday ülkelerin Avrupa Birliği'ne (AB) katılım sürecinde siyasi partiler önemli roller oynamaktadır. Hem ulusal hem de AB düzeyindeki parti pozisyonları, entegrasyonun ve aday ülke-AB ilişkilerinin içerik, yön ve dinamiği üzerinde doğrudan bir etkiye sahiptir. Bu nedenle Türkçe literatürde, AB gündemine ilişkin parti pozisyonlarının sistematik bir şekilde yeniden değerlendirilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu makale, AB gündemine ilişkin parti pozisyonları ve bu pozisyonların altında yatan sebepler için nedensel açıklamaya imkân sağlayan teorik ve metodolojik yeni bir çerçeve sunmaktadır. Bu çerçeve, parti politikasının temel parametreleri olan siyasi rekabet, ideoloji ve kimlik siyaseti modelleri üzerinden Avrupalılaşma literatürünü irdeleyerek geliştirilmiştir. Çalışma, alternatif parti pozisyonlarını (Avrupa taraftarlığı, yumuşak Avrupa karşıtlığı ve sert Avrupa karşıtlığı) analiz etmek ve karşılaştırmak amacıyla sekiz alternatif hipotez önermektedir.
