Theoretical Explanation of Sustainable Security Paradigm in the Border and Border Areas

 Border security means protecting the border lines against possible attacks and preventing any illegal acts along the border and border areas of a country and legalizing the movement of people and the transportation of goods through authorized border gates. Establishing security at the border and border areas is one of the main concerns of countries, especially in today's world full of threats, and governments consider different approaches, policies, actions, and methods to achieve this goal. The purpose of writing this article is to theoretically explain the paradigm of sustainable security in the border and border regions.

 This article, using a descriptive-analytical method and citing reliable sources, seeks to investigate and explain the requirements and considerations that are involved in the establishment of security at the border and border areas within the framework of the "sustainable security" paradigm.

 The concept of "sustainable security" is one of the new security paradigms and approaches that are discussed in various fields, including border security and border areas. In fact, "sustainable security" is an approach that is proposed in modern security studies as an alternative to the control paradigm and is based on the assumption that in order to establish security, instead of dealing with crime and criminals, it is necessary to deal with crime-prone contexts.

 The results of the research indicate that the establishment of sustainable security at the border and border areas requires preventive, positive, comprehensive, community-oriented, participation-oriented, comfortable and meaningful approaches, and based on this paradigm, border security is achieved with the priority of ensuring the security of border residents.
