CURRENT SECURITY POLICIES IN TURKEY ON THE PERSPECTIVE OF DEFENCE INDUSTRY TECHNOLOGIES: A REACTIVITY-PROACTIVITY ANALYSIS Rahmi Erkut ERDİNÇLER*
Abstract
Today's world is facing with many security crises that are growing each day. Since its recent past, Turkey has been forced to deal with many high priority security issues, such as the Cyprus problem, separatist terrorist acts, and the Syrian Civil War. In order to solve these problems, Turkey has developed various strategies over time and has evolved into a more effective and proactive security understanding by taking lessons from the obstacles it faces in this sense. In particular, it has contributed a lot to the development of an effective and proactive security understanding by evolving from an almost completely foreign defence industry to a Turkish defence industry, which is increasingly becoming a leader in some specific technology sectors in the world. There should be no inhibitive barriers to achieve the objectives of the determined national policy with maximum efficiency and gain. Developing defence industry technologies reduce the “inhibitive” elements that pose obstacles to Turkey's security policies and enable Turkey to implement longer-term strategies. In this research, it is aimed to examine the security problems that Turkey has to struggle against and the policies it has developed from the perspective of defense industry technologies and to present a reactivity-proactivity review, especially on the recent past and today.
