Eu Citizenship As A Common Identity: Theoretical Underpinnings And Main Dimensions

Bu çalışma Avrupa Birliği vatandaşlığının ortak siyasi bir kimlik olarak ortaya çıkmasını ele almakta ve bu vatandaşlığın hem teorik hem de temel dayanak noktalarına dayalı bir analizini yapmayı amaçlamaktadır. Konunun teorik analizi bağlamında açıklanması gereken iki boyutu bulunmaktadır. İlk olarak, daha geniş bir perspektiften, kimlik konusunun uluslararası alandaki rolü ve etkisini ortaya koymak için teorik bir arka plan verilmektedir. Ardından, daha özel bir perspektifle, siyasi kimliğin, AB’de ortak kimlik olarak seçilmesinin ardındaki teorik temeller ve gerekçeler ortaya konmaktadır. Bu teorik açıklamaların ardından, AB vatandaşlığı, üç temel dayanağı konumundaki politik, ekonomik ve popüler-sembolik boyutları açısından incelenmektedir
