This study aims to examine (cross-) border trade which is a necessity and a reality of global trade within economic policy. When the government wants to increase or decrease the border trade, it makes necessary legal arrangements and applies various economic policies. These implementations are within the scope of bilateral border trade agreements between countries and the borders established by international institutions. The inhabitants of the settlements close to the border gates and enterprises are parties to the border trade and try to increase their income through this trade. The importance of border trade in terms of economic policy has two dimensions: i-Economic policy aims at economic growth, low inflation and unemployment, fair income distribution, balance of payments, the fight against the black market, etc. ii-It should be determined which kind of economic policy instruments these objectives will be achieved. According to the capitalist order, although the decision-making body is accepted as a market in the solution of macro problems, in practice it is fixed with the experience that the state will be effective with various legal-political documents. Therefore. the means of economic control in the evolution of border trade spontaneously and necessarily outweigh rather than the monetary, financial, etc. policies.

EKONOMİ POLİTİKASINDA SINIR TİCARETİNİN SINIRLARI

Öz

Bu çalışma, küresel ticaretin bir gereği ve gerçeği olan sınır ticaretini iktisat politikasının çerçevesi içinde ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. Devlet sınır ticaretini arttırmak ya da azaltmak istediğinde gerekli yasal düzenlemeleri yapar ve çeşitli iktisat politikalarını uygular. Bu uygulamalar, uluslararası kurumların belirlediği sınırlar ile ülkeler arasındaki ikili sınır ticareti anlaşmaları kapsamında olur. Sınır kapılarına yakın yerleşim yerlerinin sakinleri ve işletmeler ise sınır ticaretinin tarafları olup bu ticaret sayesinde gelirlerini arttırmaya çalışırlar. Sınır ticaretinin iktisat politikası açısından önemi ise iki boyutludur: i-İktisat politikası ile ekonomik büyüme, düşük enflasyon ve işsizlik, hakça gelir bölüşümü, ödemeler dengesi, karaborsa ile mücadele, vb. amaçlanır. ii-Bu amaçlara hangi tür iktisat politikası araçları ile ulaşılacağı belirlenmelidir. Kapitalist düzene göre makro sorunların çözümünde karar organı piyasa olarak kabul edilse de uygulamada devletin çeşitli yasal ve politik belge ile etkili olacağı tecrübelerle sabittir. Bundan dolayı sınır ticaretinin gelişiminde iktisadi kontrol araçları kendiliğinden ve zorunlu olarak parasal, mali, vb. politikalardan daha ağır basmaktadır.
