Sosyo-politik Bütünleşme Modeli Arayışındaki Kuramlar ışığında Avrupa Kamusal Alanına ilişkin Öneriler

Avrupa’da çoğulcu sosyo-politik bir yönetim biçiminin savunucusu olan bütünleşme kuramlarında, kamusal alan ile demokrasi kalitesi arasındaki ilişki hakkında homojen bir bakış bulunmamaktadır. Bununla birlikte, bu kuramların kamusal alana dair varsayımları ışığında, Avrupa çaplı bir kamusal alana erişime ilişkin sorunların çözümü hakkında bazı temel göstergelere ulaşmak mümkündür. Buna göre; Avrupa kamusal alanının yatay ve dikey genişlemesinin sağlanması için, bürokrasinin ve merkezileşme eğiliminin kontrol edilmesi, anayasal vatandaşlığın gerçekleştirilmesi, yaygın medya iletişimine vatandaşların katılımının sağlanması, Avrupa kurumları içinde ve kamu ile Avrupa kurumları/aktörleri arasında karşılıklı iletişimin artırılması gerekmektedir

It is not possible to find a homogenous approach towards the relationship between the public sphere and quality of democracy among integration theories in search of a socio-political integration model. Yet, it is possible to reach, in their assumptions, some fundamental invariables about solutions for problems of access to a European wide public sphere. In this sense, in order to expand the European public sphere, it is necessary to control the bureaucracy and centralization tendencies, to realize the constitutional citizenship, to help citizens participate in widespread media communication, and to increase mutual communication within and between the public and European institutions/actors
