MANAGEMENT OF BORDER SECURITY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ILLEGAL ANIMAL MOVEMENTS IN TURKEY
(Düzce Üniversitesi, 2011) Begeç, Suat; Ataseven, Veysel Soydal; Karadal, Himmet
The objective of this article is to evaluate for the first time the management of border security from a perspective of terrorism, trafficking in persons, and illicit cross-border trading of animals in Turkey. Turkey acts as a geographical, cultural, and political bridge between Asia, Africa, and Europe, and problems such as trafficking in persons and smuggling of animals, drugs, and fuel rise due to the geographical location of Turkey. Terrorist organizations gain revenue from this illegal trade, and transport logistics from neighboring countries. Therefore, transboundary animal diseases such as rinderpest, peste des petits ruminants, foot and mouth disease and Rift valley fever could distress the international animal trade as well as the food safety and food manufacturing industries. These diseases are contagious and have the potential to quickly spread beyond national borders, and can lead to serious consequences in terms of socio-economic and public health. In this sence, Turkey has a potential to introduce infectious diseases into other countries. This article embraces a struggle within the national and international communities and reveals the importance of defense and security management to overcome smuggling and terror events.
