Reviewing the relevant literature also aims to delineate the conceptual boundaries of maritime security. Accordingly, the study seeks to answer two key questions: How can maritime security be defined distinctively and coherently, and how can the concept be applied more effectively? The central argument of this paper is that maritime security constitutes a global governance model shaped through inter-state cooperation. Since the post–World War II period, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has spearheaded the establishment of a global maritime security network. This network, voluntarily supported by states, is closely intertwined with global policy frameworks, national interests, and evolving perceptions of defense and security. Ultimately, we suggest analyzing the concept using three basic parameters to understand the mechanisms through which maritime security flows in the global context. This study conceptualizes maritime security as a global governance model and argues that addressing maritime security within the navy, merchant marine, and scientific marine framework will provide a more precise definition of the term&#039;s scope.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Bu makale, deniz güvenliği kavramını analitik bir çerçevede tanımlamakta ve küresel politikadaki boyutlarını incelemektedir. İlgili literatürün gözden geçirilmesiyle deniz güvenliğinin kavramsal sınırlarının çizilmesi de amaçlanmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda çalışma iki temel soruya yanıt aramaktadır: Deniz güvenliği nasıl ayırt edici ve tutarlı bir şekilde tanımlanabilir ve bu kavram nasıl daha etkili bir şekilde birçok yere uyarlanabilir? Bu makalenin temel argümanı, deniz güvenliğinin devletlerarası iş birliği ile şekillenen küresel bir yönetişim modeli olduğudur. İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrası dönemden günümüze kadar Uluslararası Denizcilik Örgütü (International Maritime Organization -IMO), küresel bir deniz güvenliği ağının kurulmasına öncülük etmiştir. Devletler tarafından gönüllü olarak desteklenen bu ağ, küresel politika kalıpları, ulusal çıkarlar yanında gelişen savunma ve güvenlik algılarıyla yakından ilişkilidir. Sonuç olarak, deniz güvenliğinin küresel bağlamda aktığı mekanizmaların anlaşılabilmesi için kavramın üç temel parametrede analiz edilmesini öneriyoruz. Deniz güvenliğini küresel bir yönetişim modeli olarak kavramsallaştıran bu çalışma, deniz güvenliğinin donanma, deniz ticareti ve bilimsel denizcilik çerçevesinde ele alınmasının, terimin kapsamının daha kesin bir şekilde tanımlanmasını sağlayacağını savunmaktadır.</p></trans-abstract>
