Abstract

Frontier territories, which are regions at the edges of nation-states, have always played a significant role in geopolitics. These territories, often characterized by their contested nature and strategic importance, contribute to shaping national security policies, territorial disputes, and the balance of power between states. This paper explores the importance of frontier territories in modern geopolitics by examining their influence on strategic decision-making, national security concerns, and international relations. It highlights the complex interplay between these territories and state sovereignty, along with the challenges they present in the global political landscape.
