BREXİT KARARINI MEŞRULAŞTIRMA ARACI OLARAK TÜRKİYE’NİN AVRUPA BİRLİĞİ ÜYELİĞİ: AYRILMA YANLISI AKTÖRLERİN SÖYLEMLERİNİN ANALİZİ

Bu çalışma, Birleşik Krallık’ta Avrupa Birliği (AB) referandumuna giden süreçte yürütülen ayrılma kampanyasını incelemekte ve referandum tartışmalarını şekillendiren ayrılma yanlısı aktörler olarak ön plana çıkan Vote Leave (VL) ve Birleşik Krallık Bağımsızlık Partisi’nin (UKIP) yürüttüğü kampanyaya odaklanmaktadır. Çalışmanın örneklemini, Türkiye’nin AB üyeliğine ilişkin olarak gerçekleşen tartışmalar oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada temel amaç, ayrılma yanlısı aktörlerin Türkiye’nin üyeliği hakkında ürettikleri Avrupa şüpheci söylemler aracılığıyla inşa etmeye çalıştıkları AB temsillerini ortaya koyarak, Brexit kararını nasıl meşrulaştırmaya çalıştıklarını açıklığa kavuşturmaktır. Çalışmada, araştırma metodu olarak söylemsel-tarihsel yaklaşım benimsenmiştir. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre, ayrılma yanlısı söylemlerde, Türkiye’nin olası üyeliği araçsallaştırılarak, AB ve Birleşik Krallık’ın AB üyeliğinin devam etmesi durumu sorunsallaştırılmıştır. Bu da, Avrupa şüpheciliğinin söylemsel olarak yeniden üretilmesini sağlayarak Brexit yönünde verilen oylara zemin hazırlama işlevi görmüştür.
