Border Security and Economic Growth

This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the relationship between border security, peace, and economic resilience, highlighting how these factors jointly shape trade performance and economic growth. Using a Scopus dataset of 1,437 articles published between 2008 and 2024, the research employs VOSviewer and Biblioshiny to map intellectual structures, collaboration networks, and thematic trends. The results reveal the central role of secure borders in preventing smuggling, enhancing supply chain stability, and supporting national income and GDP growth. Findings also show that border security and peace function as key enablers of international trade, business continuity, and overall economic development. By synthesising dispersed literature, the study establishes a clear conceptual link between border security, peace, and economic resilience, offering a data-driven framework for policymakers aiming to strengthen economic stability and promote sustainable growth.
