About the Journal

As global security threats increasingly transcend national borders in our hyperconnected world, traditional paradigms of defense and stability are being fundamentally redefined. Transnational Security Review (TSR) emerges as the premier open-access forum dedicated to advancing critical interdisciplinary research at the convergence of emerging threats, multilateral governance, and next-generation security frameworks. Our mission centers on developing integrated analytical approaches that reconcile state sovereignty with collective security imperatives through evidence-based policy innovation and operational best practices.

TSR employs a tripartite analytical framework - threat evolution, institutional resilience, and transboundary impact - to examine pressing challenges in 21st century security governance. Our editorial scope encompasses but is not limited to:
