Kuzey Kutbu’nda Ortakların Trajedisi Sorununa Çözüm Olarak Küresel Müşterekler Önerisinin Değerlendirilmesi

Küresel ısınmayla birlikte Kuzey Kutbu’ndaki buzulların erimesi, çevresel bir felaket olmasına rağmen, Kuzey Kutbu’nu çevreleyen ülkeler tarafından ekonomik bir fırsat olarak görülmektedir. Kuzey Kutbu ülkeleri diğer ülkelerin Kuzey Kutbu konusunda söz sahibi olmalarına sıcak bakmamaktadırlar. Diğer ülkeler ise, özellikle Avrupa Birliği, Kuzey Kutbu’nun da Antarktika gibi küresel müştereklerden biri olduğunu ve çevresel olumsuz gidişi tersine çevirecek adımların ortak kararlılıkla atılması gerektiğini ileri sürmektedirler. Çalışmada küresel müşterekler kavramı ve ortakların trajedisi sorununu tanımlandıktan sonra Kuzey Kutbu’ndaki politik gelişmeler ve yaşanan değişimin getirdiği sorunlar ele alınmaktadır. Son olarak da Kuzey Kutbu’na getirilen küresel müşterek önerisi değerlendirilmektedir.   

The Evaluation of Global Commons Recommendations as a Solution to the Tragedy of Commons Problem of the North Pole

With the global warming, the melting of the glaciers at the North Pole was seen as an economic opportunity by the countries surrounding the North Pole, although it was an environmental disaster. The Arctic countries do not favor the fact that other countries have a say about the North Pole. Other countries, in particular the European Union, have argued that the North Pole is one of the global commons, such as Antarctica, and the steps to reverse the negative environmental advances should be taken with common determination. In the study, after the definition of the global commons and the tragedy of the commons, the political developments in the North Pole and the problems brought about by the changes are discussed. Finally, the global commons proposal for the North Pole is evaluated.
