Identity Capacity Construction And Frontier Security Governance Research

The concept and connotation of the "identity" not only refers to the behavior of body "own self and "others"-sharing culture, ideas, norms and system recognition and approval-but also refers to determination of relationship (friends, enemies, competitors and relatives, etc.). It includes identity with distinguishing difference. Identity mainly includes identification identity and cultural identity, while it can be divided into different types and properties such as nation identity, state identity and political identity etc. It contains some characteristics of realistic, constructive and compound relationship. Identity variable is a judgment of the sense of survival in the real situation, while the belonging sense and security sense take them towards determines their own value belonging and tending. The identity properties take an important influence on different kinds of living sense, belonging sense and security sense of behavior.Under the identity phenomenon security can be characterized as "security properties" (objective of existence threat), "security sense" (subjective of existence fear) and "securitization" (whether there is a conflict of behavior). Among these three, the "security sense" includes material interests which appeal sense of survival, cultural and psychology belonging sense and historical sense. Therefore, identity and security have close relationship and influence with each other. Actually, security is an identity construction type of connotation which includes three dimensions: First, "no risk objectivity, no fear subjectivity and no conflict between the behaviors". The inappropriate interaction between behaviors can directly construct a new kind of insecure state. Second, security is a like a relationship of different levels of behaviors between "own self" and "others." It may be one-way, two-way or multidirectional with the judgment of acceptance and response of negotiative relationships, these relationships may be mixed and complex. The different levels of behaviors such as secondary state and supra-state are closely related to security. Third, the security is a kind of "speech-behavior" which constructs different behaviors compound security relations through language, action and also constructs the security interaction and sharing between "own self and "others". Finally, security is closely related to "identity crisis" which is not only a core element of security but also an important variable that contribute to crisis transformation, upgrading and irregular crisis outbreak."Identity" can be internalized in mind, externalized in action. There are different creators and responders actors of security threats. On the one hand, different levels of "own self" and "others" identity can seek common ground with shelving differences, peace, pluralistic coexist, harmonious coexist and common share security, on the other hand, the "own self" and "others" would be bound to bring security threats if their identity produce conflict or crisis with their inappropriate actions. Identity is the core variable for the security. The positive identity between different actors is good to maintain security and can make a good transformation to stop occurring crisis. The negative identity will make a negative impact on the security maintenance and can continue the crisis at worst level.There are many direct and indirect, symbiosis and potential security threats in the border area in China. Identity can be divided into different types of motivation, field, influence, range and threat sources. It presents many characteristics like, traditional and non-traditional security threats. The new security threats are continuously emerging in different fields of security interlace composite. These security threats present across fields characteristics and show diversity of forms. Threat behaviors are multiplicity and responsible behaviors are clear and fuzzy. The damage process has connection with effects diversity. All these pose a serious threat to people security, international security, national security and social security. While the domestic and transnational border security governance face many sensible complexity and identity difficulties.The modern and ancient history of China and other states show that the identity conflicts and crisis have remained the main source of frontier security threat between different stakeholders. The main purpose of the frontier security governance is to solve the heterogeneous problems of identity. In the current era, the process of frontier security governance needs to make identification, evaluation, characteristics and classification on the basis of the security threats. It also needed to open multiple paths of examination and selections of such behaviors which suite securitization object, action plan, and value orientation with "harmony ideology", "harmonious coexistence", "best state coexistence", the principle of "non-violence" and "spirit community". This study has taken public security and national interests as the value pivot which has succeed to expand traditional securitization theory. It has established a new ’selective’ frontier security governance securitization paradigm. So that it claims that frontier security can be effectively maintained only if state reach an agreement on the governance idea, governance body, governance level, governance method, governance path with historical contents to strengthen identity ability construction.At the domestic level, study has implemented three dimensions:"maintaining stability", "maintaining rights" and "maintaining inner peace" which referrers to integration governance to frontier security threats, strive to resolve various social contradictions. Social transformation needs to truly respect ethnic traditional culture of minorities, religious beliefs, living customs, create a fair justice, environment of freedom and democracy; maintain security and stability; create a thriving peaceful environment for economic, work and living and maintain a good social public order. The study also suggests that if the "maintaining inner peace", "maintaining rights" and "maintaining stability" implemented properly it will help to win the hearts and minds. It ultimately will promote the identity harmony and identity integration between different actors which will make the people of all ethnic groups rebuild the belonging sense, establish the justice sense, and protect security sense. In this way state can mobilize their consciousness, initiative and enthusiasm to common construct harmoniously and defend the border.At the international level, China and its neighboring countries should apply "harmony. doctrine" which advocates respect each other, equality, seek common ground while putting aside differences and peaceful coexistence. It helps to construct and share the frontier security and eventually give a weave of "harmonious and beautiful frontier" security. Study suggests that if China and its neighboring states would strengthen their identity construction with shared ideas on the basis of mutual benefit and win-win scholarship, it will give very good results to establish a variety of communication, exchange mechanism, participation in the formulation of international norms that will be mutual beneficial for all. At the same time, it would promote the international identity construction and common governance cooperation.
