Abstract:

 The study reveals the reasons for the European Unions concerns that the China-CEEC Cooperation Platform, launched led by China in 2012, will trigger new political divisions and differences of opinion in foreign policy between the West and the East. The study sample consists of three independent groups, namely Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands, the six most populated Western European countries of the EU; the twelve EU member states and the five candidate countries of the EU, which are included in the China-CEEC Cooperation Platform. In the study, using the one-way ANOVA and Tukey and Bonferroni tests, it has been determined that there is a statistically significant difference between these three groups in terms of supporting international joint declarations against China in 2012-2022 and also that there is a statistically significant difference between the political decisions of these three groups on international issues where the relevant six Western European Countries disagree with China.

 Çalışma, Avrupa Birliğinin 2012 yılında Çin öncülüğünde başlatılan Çin-ODAÜ İşbirliği Platformunun Batı ile Doğu arasında yeni siyasi bölünmeleri ve dış politikada fikir ayrılıklarını tetikleyeceği yönündeki endişelerinin gerekçelerini ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma örneklemi, Almanya, Fransa, İtalya, İspanya, Belçika ve Hollanda olmak üzere ABnin en fazla nüfusa sahip altı Batı Avrupa ülkesi, Çin-ODAÜ İşbirliği Platformuna dâhil olan on iki AB üye ülkesi ve beş AB aday ülkesi olmak üzere üç bağımsız gruptan oluşmaktadır. Çalışmada, tek yönlü ANOVA ve Tukey ve Bonferroni testlerinden yararlanılarak, bu üç grup arasında 2012-2022 yıllarında Çin aleyhine gerçekleşen uluslararası ortak bildirileri destekleme bakımından istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir farklılık bulunduğu ve ayrıca ilgili altı Batı Avrupa ülkesinin Çin ile fikir ayrılığına düştüğü uluslararası meselelerde, bu üç grubun siyasi kararları arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir farklılık bulunduğu belirlenmiştir.
