Abstract
Hungary has always played a leading role in the theoretical and practical implementa- tion of the Schengen Acquis and the Schengen extension process. One of the best exam- ples may be the implementation of the European Union funded twinning project titled “Action Plan on Integrated Border Management-Phase”. The aim of this essay is to give additional information to the present border policing situation and the border se- curity organizations in Turkey. We will look at the process of establishing a new Border Guard organization and the joint efforts performed by the project and the beneficiaries in the launch of the new Integrated Border Management System (later on IBM) in the county. We can conclude that the IBM project combined the best respective EU theories and practices successfully.
