Popis: In this article, the concept of “homeland security” is divided into two components according to the situations that damage physical, social and cultural assets and values, as well as the form of force to be employed in response. The article interprets border security as a sub-element of homeland security, while redefining integrated border management (IBM), which is used by the European Union, in the context of the Turkish defense industry. In addition to this new and more local definition, current evaluations reveal that boundaries are no longer just physical, and contemporary threats are multidimensional, multistage and multifaceted. The final part seeks to define and structure a more proactive defense industry that is ready for these changes with new wider assessments.
