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:
