A Structural Security Approach to the relationship between Persian Language and National Security in the Islamic Republic of Iran with Emphasis on the Structure and Components of security perspective on the Persian Language in Contemporary Period

The language and its historical context are one of the basic foundations of national security in countries with a thousand years of history. National cohesion and the expansion of the regional and international power of the country without a coherent identity and language structure are undoubtedly defeated. One of the foundations of the cultural power of each country is the cultural context of its language and extends it beyond its geographical boundaries. The Iranian culture with the thousand years of history and its historical national identity based on the Persian language can be influential elements of regional and political influence. The present paper establishes a multifaceted relationship between official language and national security and considers Persian as a part of national security in the Islamic republic of Iran which has been politicalized-securitized since the time of Islamic Revolution. This paper based on the Copenhagen school security examines that today especially after the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Persian language has been politicalized based on the opponent's approach to Iranian territorial integrity. The output of the research emphasizes the prevalence of Persian language through expanding the cultural and economic influence of Iran in the short term along with linkage between this language and Iran's national security which can help the Persian language to be a normal and non-security, politicized subject. The research method is based on qualitative analytical research.
