International Border Management: Learning From Nepal, India and Schengen Border

Abstract

Border management is very tough, sensitive and complex issue for states. A single border management policy with applicability to every state simply does not exist. Available resources and security concerns shape border policy, and since each state has different needs to address, problems with border security vary greatly. They encompass, for example, issues of trafficking, transnational organized crime, terrorism, waves of illegal migration, political relations, and trade. The aggregate of these activities creates the environment in which affect a border management. As per the geographical condition, religious, ethnic, economic condition, security threats and relation between neighboring countries they practiced suitable border management system. International we can found mainly two types of border management system restricted (Controlled and Closed Border) borders and open borders. Both borders have same security concern which impact on country's economic and social values. Border Management is a mechanism to ensure the security of national borders and to regulate legitimate movements on borders to meet various needs of nation by cultural, social, economical interactions. There are some new approaches of border management which articulates a new strategic vision for border processing and clearance. Those approaches bring several key concepts together into a holistic new approach. They are collaborative border management, Coordinated Border Management and integrated border management. Nepal and India followed open border system and European Union and Schengen States applied integrated border management system, which is more effective than Nepal and India border.
