AVRUPA BİRLİĞİ’NDE FİKİRSEL SOSYALLEŞME SÜRECİ

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Avrupa Birliği kurumlarında çalışan ulusal temsilcilerin sosyal öğrenme süreçlerine ışık tutmaktır. “Sosyal öğrenme süreci” şeklinde nitelenen olay, ulusal temsilcilerin AB kurumlarındaki görevleri süresince öğrendikleri yeni fikirleri, normları, çalışma ve karar alma yöntemlerini, ve bunların sonucunda değişen çıkarları ile rol ve kimlik anlayışlarını kapsamaktadır17. Bu araştırmanın deneysel çalışma boyutunda Avrupa Parlamentosu’nda görevli olan Türk kökenli bir Alman milletvekili ile yapılan röportaj çerçevesinde sorulan sorular ile “sosyal öğrenme” süreçleri ve yöntemlerinin deneysel olarak test edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu deneysel çalışma sonucunda elde edilen veriler sosyal yapısalcı teorinin soyut olması ve test edilememesi yönündeki eleştirileri18 karşılayacak ve böylelikle bu teoriye önemli bir deneysel katkı sağlayacaktır

IDEATIONAL SOCIALIZATION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Inside EU institutions, national officials are subject to a shared system of rules, norms, principles and codes of conduct which they induct, internalize and take for granted. Ideational socialization or social learning implies a social process through which agent properties and preferences change as a result of interaction. In other words, institutional and normative environments have transformative effects on basic actor properties, including how individuals see themselves conceptions of the self/identity and how they conceptualize their interests. This research provides an analysis of the socialization effect of the EU institutions on a national representative of a member country, i.e. Germany, but who is originally from a candidate country, i.e. Turkey. The empirical study of this research aims at meeting the criticisms about the inability of most social constructivist studies to offer testable hypotheses and methods to test these hypotheses19. In this way, it aims to fill a gap in the social constructivist scholarship
