Evaluating the Role of Ethnicity in the Resistance of National Security

In the polygenic communities, the issue of coexistence, the notion of ethnicity diversification or national unity is an affair subject to adoption of an approach which is able to ascertain unity in the national disposition while there are a lot of ethnic stub cultures. Based on the claims of David Balven and Helen Milze "the expression of national security, is the most preeminent notion in the area of social sciences which no notion is equal to it considering the value of worthy elements". Ethnicity with subtitles like ethnic separations, ethnic interests, divergent attitudes, independentism or separatism, ethnic identity and ethnic challenges in the national scale are some very important titles in respect of national security and national identity. And while editing the security structure of the country it should be subject to a special attention otherwise the ethnic challenges would always affect the internal security of the country and destroy the firmness of the national security. In every time, the internal and external elements effective on the emergence and development of divergent tendencies and creation of ethnic crisis and also the elements of national unity and convergence should be considered carefully. It seems that explaining and emphasizing on two main components of "national identity", i.e., Islamic and Iranian identities the agents of evaluating the nationality and acceptance and respect to ethnic identities, would make the security and ethnic challenges encountered by a suitable response. This approach takes benefit from the cultural elements of Iranian tribes with old values in the foundation of the elevated structure of national identity and in every era has been considered by the rulers.
