Lizbon Antlaşması Sonrası Avrupa Birliği'nin Yeni Kurumsal Yapısı

The Lisbon Treaty entered into force on December 1, 2009, marking a new level of EU’s initiatives on institutional change and policy reforms in 2000’s. The purpose of this study is to provide an outline of the changes in the institutional structure of EU with the Lisbon Treaty, considering the targets of reform initiatives started in the late 1990’s. The study argues that although the Treaty ensures new institutional innovations and designs, the question of whether those reforms would be sufficient to overcome the current challenges that EU faces and to fully reach the goals of 2000’s reform process, is still prevalent.
