Abstract
In this study, the effect of terrorism on international trade is examined in the case of Turkey. Between 1980 and 2015, along with many important political and scientific developments towards the development of international trade, international trading has begun to reach certain limitations with the terrorist channel. International trade has reached the highest levels in history with globalization phenomenon. International trade has remarkably expanded with the help of widespread internet use information technologies especially in the trade of services. Along with these positive developments, international terrorism has a negative impact on world trade. There is strong evidence that the increase in terrorist incidents led to a decline on international trade. This study focuses on whether terrorism affects Turkey's foreign trade. In doing so, between 1970 and 2016, the sensitivity of foreign trade to terrorism was measured by the concept of elasticity.

Abstract
Bu çalışmada, terörizmin uluslararası ticarete olan etkisi Türkiye özelinde incelenmektedir. 1980-2015 yılları arasında uluslararası ticaretin gelişmesi yolunda çok önemli siyasi ve bilimsel gelişmeler olmakla beraber artan terör olayları nedeniyle uluslararası ticarete belirli sınırlamalar gelmeye başlamıştır. Küreselleşme olgusuyla birlikte uluslararası ticaret olabildiğince genişlemeye başlamıştır. İnternet ve bilişim teknolojilerindeki gelişimde ticaretin çok daha hızlı kolay yapılmasını sağlamıştır. Özellikle ülkelerarası hizmet ticaretinde çok hızlı büyümeler meydana gelmiştir. Bu olumlu gelişmelerle birlikte uluslararası terörizm dünya ticareti üzerine olumsuz etkide bulunmaktadır. İlgili dönemde terör olaylarının artması ticari faaliyetlerde azalmaya yol açtığına dair güçlü deliller vardır. Bu çalışma terörizmin Türkiye’nin dış ticaretini etkileyip etkilemediğine odaklanmaktadır. Bunu yapmak içinde 1970-2016 yılları arasında dış ticaretin teröre karşı duyarlılığı esneklik kavramı ile ölçülmüştür.
