Doğu Avrupa'da radikal neo-liberal dönüşüm

Bu çalısmanın amacı Doğu Avrupa’daki dönüsüm ve bütünlesme süreçlerini irdelemektir. Çalısmada öncelikli olarak iç içe geçen bu süreçlerin nasıl okunabileceği tartısılmaktadır. Süreçlerin tekil faktörlerden öte ulusal ve uluslararası aktör ve faktörlerin etkilesimini vurgulayan bütüncül bir yaklasımla incelenmesi gerektiği önerilmektedir. Böylesi bir yaklasım bölgedeki yeniden yapılanma süreçlerinin neo-liberal küresel yeniden yapılandırma politikaları ile olan etkilesimini, uluslararası mali kuruluslar ve Avrupa Birliği’nin neo-liberal süreci farklı formlarda nasıl yeniden ürettiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu kurulus ve kurumlar esgüdüm içerisinde yürütülen sartlara dayalı siyasi yaklasımlarıyla eklemlenmeyi hızlandırmak amacıyla coğrafi bölgede ayrıstırmaya gitmislerdir. Temel olarak hedeflenen bölge ülkelerinin Avrupa Birliği üyelikleri gerçeklesmis olsa da izlenen neo-liberal dönüsüm projesi sorunlara çözüm üretememis, hatta sorunların yeniden üretilmesine neden olmustur. Bu durum Batı’nın üçüncü dünya ülkeleri ile olan iliskisine benzer bir sekilde yardıma dayalı bağımlılık mekanizmasının yeniden üretilmesi anlamına da gelmektedir.

Radical neo-liberal transformation in Eastern Europe

This paper aims to analyse the transformation and integration processes in Eastern Europe. It first discusses the approaches towards these intertwined processes. It argues that the processes should be studied through a holistic approach which emphasises the dialectical relationship between internal and global actors and factors. Such an approach reveals the dialectical process between the transformation and integration processes and neo-liberal process of global restructuring, and how the international financial institutions and the European Union reproduced various forms of neo-liberal process in the region. These institutions have favoured geographical differentiation in the region with an aim to accelerate the integration through their political approach based on conditionality. Although the main aim, membership of the countries of the region into the European Union, is achieved the neo-liberal radical transformation project is far from finding answers to the problems of the region. In a way it helped reproduce these problems reproducing the mechanism of dependency through aid in a similar way to the relations between the West and the Third World.
