Abstract

This article aims to question how the European integration process has affected the nature of sovereignty and what its implications are for the EU and member states. For this purpose, firstly, it clarifies what the sovereignty and sovereign state implies in the traditional understanding of sovereignty. Secondly, it examines the historical experience of the sovereign state in Europe and the emergence of European integration in 1950s as a challenge to the traditional view. Thirdly, it evaluates the reinterpretation of the sovereignty with a new concept, the concept of “Shared” sovereignty, emerged in the European integration process. In the fourth part, it scrutinizes the EU with its both supranational and intergovernmental characteristics discussing the question of sovereignty between the EU and the member states. Afterwards, based on its examination on the EU and shared sovereignty, it makes an overall analysis on the change of the sovereignty through the impact of integration process. Finally, summarizing the main points of its analysis, it underlines that, within the EU, consisting of combination of both supranational and intergovernmental elements, it is no longer possible to remain as a traditional sovereign state and to exercise its absolute powers

Özet

Bu makale, Avrupa Bütünleşme sürecinin, egemenliğin doğasını nasıl etkilediğini ve bunun sonuçlarının AB ve üye devletler için ne olduğunu sorgulamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, ilk olarak, geleneksel anlamda egemenlik ve egemen devletin ne olduğu açıklanmaktadır. İkinci olarak, Avrupa’da egemen devlet tecrübesinin ve Avrupa Bütünleşme sürecinin 1950’lerde geleneksel görüşe meydan okuma olarak ortaya çıkışını incelemektedir. Üçüncü olarak, egemenliğin, Avrupa Bütünleşme süreci içinde ortaya çıkan yeni bir kavramla, “Paylaşılan” egemenlik kavramıyla yeniden yorumlanmasını değerlendirmektedir. Dördüncü bölümde, AB ile üye ülkeler arasındaki egemenlik meselesini tartışarak, AB’yi hem ulusüstü hem devletlerarası özellikleri ile incelemektedir. Daha sonra, AB ve paylaşılan egemenlik üzerindeki incelemesini temel alarak, egemenliğin, bütünleşme sürecinin etkisi ile değişmesi üzerine genel bir analiz yapmaktadır. Son olarak, analizin ana noktalarını özetleyerek, hem ulusüstü ve hem devletlerarası unsurların birleşiminden oluşan AB içinde, artık geleneksel bir egemen devlet olarak kalmanın ve onun kesin yetkilerini yerine getirmenin mümkün olmadığının altını çizmektedir
