Reluctant Norway and European Union

Bu çalışmada, Norveç’in Avrupa Birliği üyeliği fırsatını, 1972 ve 1994 yıllarında yapılan referan- dumlar sonucunda, iki kez reddetmesinin altında yatan ekonomik, sosyal ve kimlik-temelli nedenler ele alınacaktır. Başlangıçta, Norveç-Avrupa ilişkilerinin tarihsel ve ekonomik boyutu incelenecek; ardın- dan, bulunan sonuçlarla bahsedilen yıllardaki referandum kampanyaları karşılaştırılacaktır. Çalışma- nın amacı, “Avrupa Birliği’ne Hayır” söyleminin tarihsel bir örneğini mercek altına alıp, ilerisi için re- feranslar çıkartılmasına yardımcı olmaktır.

Gönülsüz Norveç ve Avrupa Birliği

In this study, economic, social and identity-related reasons of Norway underlying her two consequent rejections against the European Union membership in 1972 and 1994 will be analyzed. In the first part, Norway-Europe relations will be examined from historical and economic viewpoints; then, the findings will be compared with the referendum campaigns handled by the Norwegian public in the mentioned years. The aim of the paper is to help construct further reference points by analyzing a factual figure in “No to the European Union” conjuncture.
