Studying the Possibility of Ecological Resilience in West Asia (With an Emphasis on Relationship between Sustainable Development and Sustainable Environmental Security)

Environment and environmental hazards are no longer the subjects exclusively related to specific geopolitical location, rather becoming a global issue with international consequences. West Asia is distinguished as a dry and semi-dry region, where technological promotion, population growth, water scarcity, dust, regional wars, environmental pollution and problems with international consequences make resilience to environmental hazards as an inevitable necessity in the region. This article poses the question: What is the appropriate policy and mechanism for ecological resilience west of Asia? The researchers believe that military and security attitude based on negative security west of Asia have resulted in lack of an appropriate pattern to ensure ecological resilience. They hold that adoption of a sustainable development strategy for West Asia to bring about sustainable security would result in simultaneously balancing environmental and human conducts, thus helping formation of resilience to environmental problems in the region. The article follows descriptive-analytical method for the research.
