After the formation of a federal government in the Kurdistan Region, the power and influence of the Kurds within Iraq increased. On the other hand, some trans-regional countries, including the Zionist regime and the United States, have a strategic eye on the situation of the Kurdistan Region, and have gained an unprecedented presence in the region and support its independence. The existence of terrorist Takfiri movements and other terrorist groups in Iraq could have an impact on the western regions of Iran if the activities of these groups expand. This article uses a descriptive-analytical method to examine the US and Israel's strategy of exploiting the ethnic and religious divisions in the Kurdish regions to undermine the national security of the Kurdistan Region.The results of the study showed that the policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran from the perspective of national security towards Kurdish groups in recent years have been largely influenced by regional and supra-regional variables in the field of strengthening Kurdish separatist groups with the aim of balancing forces and creating obstacles to Iran's regional influence. https://www.rahbordsyasi.ir/article_241023.html The article examines the sociology of colonialism from the perspective of world system and empire theories. Colonialism, as a policy of exploitation of underdeveloped countries by imperial powers, has always played a decisive role in the formation of unequal global relations. By proposing the concept of the modern world system, Wallerstein emphasizes the international division of labor and the different status of countries, and considers structural inequality to be a permanent feature of global capitalism. In contrast, by presenting the concept of empire, Hardt and Negri believe that in the era of globalization, power is no longer concentrated solely in nation-states, but is distributed in a transnational network and non-localities. A comparative study of these two theories shows that both emphasize asymmetrical relations and interdependence of countries, but differ in the level of analysis and future outlook: Wallerstein considers the end of the capitalist system to be probable, while Hardt and Negri highlight the emergence of a new form of imperial power. The results of this research reveal the importance of paying attention to imperialism in the context of global relations and can serve as the basis for macro-policies, designing development strategies, and supporting justice-seeking movements at the international level. https://www.rahbordsyasi.ir/article_240918.html با گذشت بیش از چهار دهه از پیروزی انقلاب تمدنساز اسلامی در ایران و روی کار آمدن نظم جدید که به نحو ملموس و قابل توجهی رویکرد اصلی خود را تمرکز بر منطقه و گرایش‌های منطقه‌گرا می‌دید؛ تا ائتلاف‌های فرامنطقه‌ای، مختصات مرزهای منطقه‌ای جمهوری اسلامی ایران در یک آشفتگی دور از انتظار به سر می‌برد. به عبارتی دیگر هنوز اجماع روشنی درباره مختصات مرزهای منطقه‌ای جمهوری اسلامی ایران چه در محافل علمی و پژوهشی به عنوان یک گفتمان و چه در محافل سیاستگذاری و اجرایی به عنوان یک دستورکار، جهت بهره‌مندی از ظرفیت‌ها و پتانسیل‌ها و همینطور تهدیدها و چالش‌های منطقه وجود ندارد. این مقاله تلاش کرده تا با تبیین اهمیت مفهوم همسایگی در تعریف منطقه، توضیح دهد که چرا آسیای جنوب غربی می‌تواند دورنمای بهتری از مرزهای منطقه جمهوری اسلامی ایران نشان دهد. در این پژوهش نظری که ماهیتی توصیفی-تحلیلی دارد، با گرداوری داده‌های مورد نیاز به شیوه کتابخانه‌ای، با رویکردی کیفی به تحلیل داده‌ها و بررسی ادعای خود پرداخته‌ایم و در نهایت از دریچه نظری یاد شده بعد از آسیای جنوب غربی به ترتیب مناطق ایران فرهنگی، جهان اسلام و شرق به عنوان مناطق اولویت‌دار محدوده منطقه‌ای جمهوری اسلامی ایران معرفی شده‌اند. https://www.rahbordsyasi.ir/article_242373.html Focusing on the concept of foreign policy tactics, this article examines the foreign policy tactics employed by the Iraqi Ba'athist regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran during the imposed war. The significance and novelty of this research lie in the fact that no study has been conducted on the tactical level of the Iraqi Ba'athist regime's foreign policy during the war and the methods by which its instruments were utilized. The research question is as follows: What were the foreign policy tactics of the Iraqi Ba'athist regime during the imposed war against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and how can they be analyzed? Employing an analytical and exploratory approach, this research utilizes a mixed method. First, through interviews, the foreign policy tactics were identified. Subsequently, a quantitative method was used to extract the frequency of the instruments and tactics employed by the Iraqi Ba'athist regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Finally, an in-depth analysis of the obtained data was conducted. https://www.rahbordsyasi.ir/article_240710.html This article, with a descriptive-analytical approach and based on a mixed method (quantitative-qualitative), identifies the requirements of targeted liquidity creation as a short-term defensive strategy against economic warfare. The main goal of this research is to explain a comprehensive framework for using liquidity creation to stimulate the economy and increase its resilience against external threats. In a situation where the Iranian economy is facing increasing external threats and pressures, targeted liquidity creation can be used as an effective tool to confront these threats and stimulate the national economy. The findings of this research show that targeted liquidity creation can act as an effective tool to confront external economic threats and strengthen national economic growth by properly managing inflation expectations, directing liquidity towards production, strengthening the banking system, and providing working capital for production units. By providing a comprehensive and practical framework, this article helps policymakers make better decisions in liquidity management and create stronger economic defense. https://www.rahbordsyasi.ir/article_241852.html Good governance one of the most significant topics in political science , with a strong connection to national security. government, , prioritize national security- particularly its sustainability- because it reflects their ability to survive as independent political entities on the global stage while maintaining effective governance at home.The central question in this research is: ‘what factors and components contribute to achieving sustainable security within the framework of good governance? Since this is an study using data collection and it does not aim to test a hypothesis. Instead, the researcher uses qualitative data analysis through grounded theory, utilizing MAXQDA 2022 software to identify and evaluate key dimensions, components, and categories. The study was conducted using purposive sampling, with semi- structured interviews held with 25 experts and academics until theoretical saturation was reached. During the open coding phase ,254 initial codes were identified, and through selective coding around the central theme, the concepts and categories were continuously compared and refined, leading to 46 concepts summarized into seven dimensions.The main goal of this article is to propose a practical paradigmatic model that highlights the key requirements and factors involved in creating sustainable national security under the framework of good governance. https://www.rahbordsyasi.ir/article_156773.html Given the widespread drought, the water scarcity and declining the groundwater levels, all governments must make efforts to reduce the groundwater exploitation. In this paper, we have tried to examine the most important actions of some governments in order to support the groundwater, as well as the commitments and efforts of the Iranian government to support the groundwater, especially aqueducts. In this research, which has been conducted by the library study and descriptive-analytical method, the results show that Iran is obliged to maintain the aqueducts and the groundwater according to important principles such as the commitment to the prevention, the commitment to the cooperation and the commitment to the information and the public participation. Regarding the taken measures in Iran, it can be said that the Iranian government has taken action to protect the aqueducts by passing the national laws and regulations, as well as the policies and the executive measures. https://www.rahbordsyasi.ir/article_158484.html The purpose of this paper is to provide a new model for using futures research in strategic topics. Futurism is a look with logical adaptation to the future from a specific perspective and a broad tool in the field of methodology to address future uncertainties. One of the most important methods of future research in elections and political participation is the script writing method. Examining the main contribution of scenarios to our future success goes back to our empowerment in turning uncertainty into a source of superiority and is essential. Given that each topic has a specific context and takes a specific path to develop a scenario, it seems necessary to provide a new model. This writing, as a basic writing, seeks to answer the question of predicting elections using futures research and scenario writing. In fact, it examines the use of script writing methods in elections and predicts the future for the space of political participation and elections. https://www.rahbordsyasi.ir/article_143571.html Dust phenomena are natural phenomena that occur in arid, semi-arid regions, especially in the tropics. The main causes of dust, especially in the south and west of Iran, can be considered as atmospheric instability in the deserts of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and Syria, the occurrence of successive droughts with high intensity and extent in the absence of vegetation. Combining climate phenomenon with human activities and their habitat patterns increases soil degradation, wind erosion, desertification, and nutrient requirements of plants intensifying dust storms. The purpose of this study is to review the legal responsibility of governments on the basis of international legal principles regarding the phenomenon of particulate matter. One of the most important tasks of governments based on these principles is to adopt an environmental protection policy.The researcher in this study intends to emphasize the responsibility of governments to implement some short and long term policies and strategies to improve infrastructure facilities and management methods in sensitive areas of the country to provide the necessary recommendations and suggestions. https://www.rahbordsyasi.ir/article_161721.html In political systems, the issue of education, reform and selection of government officials is considered one of the important issues. So that the stability and sustainability of any government system depends on paying attention to these things. Therefore, in the Islamic political system, especially in Shiite political thought, special attention has been paid to the educational and reform principles of government officials, which is clearly stated in the Nahj al-Balagha. The importance of the discussion becomes clear when the lack of attention to the issue of reforming and training government officials is considered one of the reasons for the destruction and degeneration of political systems. Therefore, the analysis of issues related to the education, selection and selection of government officials according to the political teachings of Nahj al Balaga can show the correct ways of implementing Islamic rules in the form of politicized systems and the efficiency and success of the political-Shia system. In this article, the educational and reform principles and the selection of government officials in the thoughts of Hazrat Ali and the criteria for the selection of statesmen and the methods of monitoring government officials will be examined in the form of a theoretical and qualitative study. https://www.rahbordsyasi.ir/article_151921.html Foreign policy has differed at various points in its history from influential actors in the international system. With Donald Trump's arrival at the White House, US foreign policy vis-à-vis different countries has changed dramatically, with differences in Obama's foreign policy. Trump's emphasis on economic variables, given the background of his economic activities, did not enable him to use interactive approaches to resolve tensions and disputes with some governments in the Middle East on the one hand and resolve conflicts between governments in the Middle East on the other. Power, security, and balance of power in the Middle East were considered the most central concepts in the international arena of his foreign policy vis-à-vis the Middle East during his presidency. Leaving Bridgewater is one of the most significant examples of the Trump administration's distance from the interactive and peaceful approaches in the Middle East. In the present paper, the components of economic hegemony, Islamic divergence under the pretext of terrorism, unilateralism, and increased deterrence in Trump's foreign policy toward the Middle East are examined in a descriptive-analytical approach based on Kenneth Waltz's realism approach. https://www.rahbordsyasi.ir/article_185318.html The gap and social inequalities are one of the important issues of many societies today, and the country of Iran is facing this problem more than ever before due to the new economic and political conditions and the lack of efficient management. Political participation expresses how citizens with different participation attitudes take advantage of the opportunities provided by the political system and social institutions. Citizens who are well informed are more likely to participate in political affairs. What is the relationship between social gaps and political participation? The most basic orientations to political participation on the part of citizens are related to the political behavior of statesmen. Interest in politics and active and spontaneous participatory behavior on the part of citizens, having a relationship Positive with political participation, which other political attitudes are based on. These attitudes include political effectiveness and political trust. Those societies that are ineffective in creating a stable and effective government are also ineffective in creating mutual trust among citizens. The main question of the research is, what effect will the widening and thickening of social divides have on the level of political participation and electoral behavior in the Islamic Republic of Iran? https://www.rahbordsyasi.ir/article_120289.html Desertification in many countries is mixed with political, economic and economic conditions. Therefore, examining the role and impact of government economic policies on environmental quality can be important. Technology, population growth, and subsidy policies have accelerated land degradation over the past six years in environmentally sensitive areas. The first step to deal with this problem in the region is to identify the main and basic factors. In this research, an attempt has been made to determine the trend of land degradation in the Hoz Sultan Qom area by examining past findings with the help of the Madalus model, in which management is significant in desertification. A set of demographic and economic indicators suitable for risk assessment Desertification and creating an artificial index based on a multivariate approach and finally comparing this index with the standard desertification index that refers to geophysical conditions. Therefore, new findings on the impact of policy on the environment and its role in desertification studies to be. https://www.rahbordsyasi.ir/article_200650.html AbstractThe role of good ethics in contractual responsibility deals with the most important ethical aspects in the obligations and writings of the parties to the transaction baswd on human dignity and fairness and justice and public rights .On the other hand sometimes the word fault is considered one of the important foundations of civil responsibility obviously the mentioned topic requires identifying the true meaning of the word good morals in contractual responsibility.

The current study focuses on the role of FDD in shaping US foreign policy against Iran. This study follows a descriptive-analytic method to content-analyze FDD’s the published reports on Iran. The present study also adopts a statistical approach to calculate the weight and share of Iran related reports that are published at this think tank. The results indicate that FDD’s policy against Iran, including the eight categories of Iran Global Threat Network, Iran Human Rights, Iran in Latin America, Iran Missiles, Iran Nuclear, Iran Politics and Economics, Iran Sanctions and Iran-backed Terrorism, considerably influenced Trump administration’s decision to withdraw the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Finally, the application of game theory and FDD's strategy analysis shows that this think tank's desired strategy against Iran is to trigger the snapback mechanism and withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), but the option that results in an equilibrium state between the US and Iran's relations is conducting negotiations and turning back to the JCPOA.
