Explicating and Leveling Border Diplomacy Parameters between Iran and Turkmenistan

Border diplomacy is one of the subsections of the topic of Para diplomacy (parallel diplomacy) which has been highlighted in recent decades in accordance with the increase in the link between geographical spaces and actors. The goal in preventing border diplomacy is to increase positive actions in the border area based on the local capacities of these spaces in order to improve the conditions of the border areas and their development. In order to achieve active diplomacy, in the first step, one must be able to know the parameters that affect them, and in the second step, one must be able to use them according to the time and place conditions, needs and approaches, and most importantly, based on their value for the connected actors; Based on this, the present research was conducted with a descriptive-analytical method based on library data and a questionnaire with Friedman's method, correlation and regression. Using Friedman's test, the parameters of 6 out of 10 dimensions have been investigated in the studied area. In the following, correlation and regression tests are used to show the degree and importance of the parameters, and the detailed results of each are fully mentioned in the research. It should be noted that border parameters have a direct and highly effective relationship with border diplomacy and play a significant role in the development and optimization of border spaces.
