@article{2020,title={In Line of the Historical Development of Hegemonia The Process of The European Union and the Example of Germany},abstractNode={In the explanation of the hegemonic process, it is considered that the time from the world order established after the Versailles process to the end of the Second World War was an important period. In the understanding of this period, the thoughts of Antonio Gramsci, one of the leaders of the Italian Communist Party and his writings collected as Prison Notebooks are noteworthy in terms of understanding hegemony. Gramsci saw this period as a phase of mutual agreement of the process of consent in the provision of hegemony and tried to explain how even people were involved in the hegemonic process. This hegemonic process became important again as the world re-established after the Second World War. The establishment of the East and West club and the imperialist pressure of the dominant powers on the countries continued in this period as well. The continuation of the European Union for the purpose of its establishment and the establishment of peace and democracy among European states together with the defense of European values are noteworthy. This article examines the concept of hegemony in its historical development and discusses a German-based hegemonic order within the European Union system. In this study, it is claimed that a country should be able to dominate the world with its production system and institutions, culture, money, etc. in order to become a hegemon, and that it should have the capacity to support it with military power. It has been revealed that it is re-determined and does not present a structure in which it will spread throughout the world. Thus, a system different from the hegemonic system mentioned by Gramsci, which started with Versailles system, was revealed. As a result of all information and findings; it has been concluded that there is no known hegemonic order or hegemon power in the European Union system and that Germany may be only a router and leadership country under the umbrella of the European Union.},author={Kadri BAHTİYAR},year={2020},journal={Turkish Studies-Economics,Finance,Politics}}
