Terörizm günümüzde tüm dünyada küresel çapta varlığını sürdürdüğü gibi Türkiye için de önemli bir tehdit olarak gündemde yerini almaktadır. Terörün en önemli özelliği olağan üstü bir gelişim sergilemesi ve bireyler, toplumlar ve ekonomiler üzerinde ciddi etkiler bırakabilmesidir. Bu çalışma terörizmin sosyo-ekonomik etkilerinin ekonomik büyüme, turizm, finansal sektör, doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar ile çevresel sürdürülebilirlik çerçevesinde dünya ülkeleri ve Türkiye ekonomisi için incelemektedir. Bu çalışmanın en önemli özelliği terörizmin sosyo-ekonomik etkilerinin değerlendirilmesinde teorik bir çerçeve (model) oluşturması ve bu şekilde konuyu araştırmasıdır. İkinci en önemli özelliği, terörizm ile ekonomik büyüme, turizm, finansal sektör, doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar ve çevresel sürdürülebilirlik ilişkisi üzerinde odaklanan ampirik çalışmaları inceleyerek önemli karşılaştırmalar yapma imkânı tanımasıdır. Son olarak konu ile ilgili politika önerileri yani alınması gereken önlemler sıralanmaktadır.

A General Essasment of Socioeconomic Effects of Terrorism

Öz

Terrorism, which continues to exist globally, is now a significant threat, particularly for Turkey. Its most significant characteristic is its extraordinary evolution and its ability to have serious impacts on individuals, societies, and economies. This study examines the socio-economic impacts of terrorism on the global economy and the Turkish economy within the framework of economic growth, tourism, the financial sector, foreign direct investment, and environmental sustainability. The most important feature of this study is that it establishes a theoretical framework (model) for assessing the socio-economic impacts of terrorism and explores the topic accordingly. Its second most important feature is that it allows for significant comparisons by examining empirical studies focusing on the relationship between terrorism and economic growth, tourism, the financial sector, foreign direct investment, and environmental sustainability. Finally, relevant policy recommendations, that is, necessary measures, are outlined.
