Security in Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar's Government

y using descriptive-analytical method in this research, I try to answer the following question: What were Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar's measures for establishing security and what were their consequences? The hypothesis I will try to test in this study is: Given the lack of security in Iran before Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar's reign, he defined the revitalization of Iranian borders and establishing order as one of his goals. So by adopting a violent policy, he created an iron order and security all over the country. The findings indicate that after the collapse of Safavid dynasty, except for short periods of Nader Shah and Karim Khan Zand's reigns, insecurity and anarchy dominated over Iran. In this context, agriculture and commerce declined and Iranian population decreased dramatically. From the outset, Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar tried to revitalize the borders of Iran and provide security and prevent from anarchy in these regions. His instruments for this goal were mainly intimidation, killing and repressive power.
