Abstract
National security is the most important principle in the stability of national identity and independence of a country or political unit in the process of globalization; because the survival of a country's territorial integrity and the continuity of its government depends on the national security of that country. The importance of this issue is understandable when we know that the security of national identity is a precondition for the development of other national goals such as political, social, military, cultural and economic goals in the process of globalization. For this purpose, to achieve the goals of this research, the method of future-scenario research has been used. The method used in this research is qualitative; and data collection is of the type of documentary libraries. According to the objectives of the research, the futures research method is used, and also does not need a statistical (quantitative) population to obtain the roots of dimensions and components. The futures research method and scenario tooling and the tree dependency method are used to produce qualitative data.In the present study, it is used to identify the dimensions and components of national identity in the effective dimensions and components of sociological, economic, social and cultural globalization of the research subject. The futures research method is used because it will be the best guidance method to achieve the research goals.
