Abstract:
International boundaries have their own specific characteristics among which
underdevelopment, privation, economic and cultural inequality are of the main features of
border regions of Iran, leading to insecurity in these areas. Iran has land and water frontiers with
15 countries of which some are penetrable with respect to illegal transportation of individuals
and commodities and etc., menacing their economic, political, military and social aspects.
The frontier between Iran and Iraq is confronted with a great deal of problems because of no
peace no war circumstances in which illegal transportation of individuals from illegal pathways,
committing illegal crimes such as addictive drug trafficking, selling and purchasing alcoholic
drinks and weapons threaten the security of border regions.
This study aims fundamentally to investigate whether developing border market can affect
the security of the region or not. According to the results of analytical descriptive approach,
library studies and survey method (questionnaire, observation) in Marivan, Bashmagh and
conducting some interviews with officials of the region, it is concluded that the effect of
developing Bashmagh market on the security of the region is significant.

Hence, because of the penetrability of Iran's frontiers, desired security referred to having no illegal transportation of individuals, goods smuggling and drug trafficking does not exist in border regions, and consequently different political economic military social and cultural aspects within the country have been threatened (the same reference, P.
