TY - JOUR T1 - Uluslararası Ticarette Dijital Dönüşüm ve Blockchain Teknolojisinin Rolü TT - Digital Transformation in International Trade and the Role of Blockchain Technology AU - Bardakçı, Hasan PY - 2025 DA - September Y2 - 2025 JF - Tahlil PB - Şırnak Üniversitesi WT - DergiPark SP - 14 EP - 25 IS - 1 LA - tr AB - Günümüzde dijitalleşmenin etkisiyle uluslararası ticaret önemli bir dönüşüm sürecinden geçmektedir. Küreselleşmenin ivme kazanmasıyla birlikte ticaret süreçleri daha karmaşık, dinamik ve çok aktörlü bir yapıya bürünmüş; bu da güvenilirlik, şeffaflık ve verimlilik gibi kavramların önemini artırmıştır. Bu bağlamda öne çıkan teknolojilerden biri olan blockchain, uluslararası ticarette köklü değişimlerin öncüsü olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Söz konusu teknoloji; tedarik zinciri yönetimi, sınır ötesi ödeme sistemleri, gümrük prosedürleri ve akıllı sözleşmeler gibi alanlarda sunduğu yeniliklerle ticari işlemleri daha güvenli, izlenebilir ve hızlı hale getirmektedir. Blockchain'in sunduğu merkeziyetsizlik, veri bütünlüğü ve manipülasyona kapalı yapı sayesinde, taraflar arasında güven inşa edilmesi kolaylaşmakta, işlem maliyetleri düşmekte ve süreçlerin dijital entegrasyonu hız kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışma, uluslararası ticaretin mevcut yapısında blockchain teknolojisinin yaratabileceği dönüşümleri kapsamlı biçimde ele almakta; bu bağlamda hem teknolojiye dayalı fırsatları hem de uygulama süreçlerinde karşılaşılan teknik, hukuki ve kurumsal zorlukları analiz etmektedir. Çalışmanın sonunda ise, bu teknolojinin daha etkin kullanımı için yapılması gerekenler ve politika yapıcılar ile özel sektör aktörlerine yönelik öneriler sunulmaktadır.

As globalization accelerates, trade processes are becoming more complex, dynamic, and multi-stakeholder. This increases the importance of concepts such as reliability, transparency, and efficiency. Blockchain is one of the most prominent technologies attracting attention as a pioneer of radical changes in international trade. Blockchain technology makes commercial transactions more secure, traceable, and faster by offering innovations in areas such as supply chain management, cross-border payment systems, customs procedures, and smart contracts. Blockchain's decentralization, data integrity, and tamper-proof structure make it easier to build trust between parties, decrease transaction costs, and accelerate the digital integration of processes. This study examines the potential impact of blockchain technology on the current structure of international trade. It analyzes technology-based opportunities and the technical, legal, and institutional challenges encountered during implementation. Ultimately, the study presents recommendations for more effectively using this technology and makes suggestions for policymakers and private sector actors. CR - Açar, Z. and Clarke, O. (2021).
