Özet:

 ABSTRACT In the public sector, problems have been observed in the implementation or production phases of projects related to blockchain. To understand better the challenges, this article studies the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure EBSI, which is the most salient project of its kind at the supra-state level in Europe. EBSI is a project that aims to establish a cross-border public administration service infrastructure based on blockchain, involving EU member states as well as Norway and Liechtenstein. This study aims to identify where bottlenecks occur in the EBSI process from a public policy analysis perspective, the reasons for these bottlenecks, and the responses produced for problem areas. Towards this aim, the study adopts the process analysis model and methodologically utilizes document analyses and field observations. Findings suggest that even though EBSI has reached the capacity to support project applications with its technical infrastructure, it has not yet transitioned to the full production phase. The main challenges for the transition to the full production phase include governance structure, legalregulatory frameworks, institutional preparedness, interoperability of existing systems, and the ongoing development process of the application tools. To overcome certain challenges encountered in the policy development process of EBSI, a new institutional structure, Europeum EDIC European Digital Infrastructure Consortium and a number of regulative adjustments are initiated.

 ÖZET Kamu sektöründe blok zincirine ilişkin projelerin yaşama geçme ya da uygulama aşamasında sorunlar olduğu gözlemlenmektedir. Bu çalışmada Avrupada devlet çapında en önemli ve daha önce örneği bulunmayan bir proje olan Avrupa Blok Zinciri Hizmet Altyapısı EBSI ele alınmıştır. EBSI, Avrupa Birliği üye ülkeleri ile Norveç ve Lihtenşyanın dahil olduğu blok zinciri tabanlı sınır ötesi kamu yönetimi hizmet altyapısı kurmayı amaçlayan bir projedir. EBSI sürecini kamu politikası analizi perspektifinden ele alarak hangi süreçlerde tıkanma olduğu, bu tıkanmaların nedenleri ve sorun alanlarına yönelik üretilen cevapları tespit etmek amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda nitel yöntem kullanılmış olup, doküman incelemesi ve saha gözlemlerinden yararlanılarak EBSI süreç analizi modeli ile incelenmiştir. EBSI teknik altyapısı ile proje uygulamalarını destekleyecek kapasiteye gelmiş olmakla beraber uygulama aşamasına geçilmemiştir. EBSInin uygulamaya geçmesinin önündeki temel zorluklar yönetişim yapısı, yasaldüzenleyici çerçeveler, kurumsal hazırlıklar, EBSI aktörler arası birlikte çalışabilirlik işbirliği ve uygulama araçlarının geliştirilme sürecinin devam etmesinden kaynaklanmaktadır. EBSI politika geliştirme sürecinde karşılaşılan zorluklar yeni bir kurumsal yapının, Europeum EDIC Avrupa Dijital Altyapı Konsorsiyumu doğmasına neden olmuş ve bazı hukuksal düzenlemeleri beraberinde getirmiştir.
