Advances and Prospects in Smart Border Studies Based on a Bibliometric Analysis by Yang Danxuan, Li Cansong, Hu Wei, Lai Zulan, Ge Xurui

“…On the basis of our review, we identified six areas that are the primary focus of current smart border research, namely, the connotation of smart borders, smart border demand, smart border systems, early warning mechanism construction, re-bordering and intelligence, and border strategy and cross-border cooperation. As an emerging research field, despite the preliminary results, smart border studies are still facing problems relating to practical application, such as weak theoretical foundations, an insufficiently developed methodological basis, and conflict between "human defense" and "smart defense," Our findings highlight the need for future studies to focus on establishing a sound theoretical and methodological framework underpinning smart border research, building a smart border control system adapted to China's national conditions, strengthening the precise control and early warning research of border corridors, and examining the modes of multi-subject linkage and humanized governance. …”
