Abstract

The rise of globalization trends in economical, social, technological, legal and political areas all over the world brings partnerships and associations of countries in its train. These partnerships and associations can be either regional or dual. Free trade agreement (FTA) is an activity of gradually increasing importance among the countries that participate in partnerships and associations. Moreover free trade agreement is one of the most advanced models of economical partnership between the countries that take part in the agreement. Besides free trade agreements have goals of promoting economical partnerships between the countries that take part in the agreement and abolishing the obstacles on the transfer of services and products whereas these agreements aim the development of political, technological and social relationships between these countries. As a result of international economical and political integration that has accelerated rapidly since 2000, free trade agreements are signed by Turkey. In a way, these pacts provide the growth of Turkish foreign trade and in another way; they help the firms and associations to open up for the international competition. The effects of free trade agreements signed by Turkey on Turkish economy and foreign trade are discussed in this study.
