This research, based on the analysis of the epistemological system of the Quran and the interpretation of the Imams of the Revolution, seeks to position the Grand Jihad as a strategy in the foreign policy of the Islamic Government. The fundamental question is how Grand Jihad, as a strategy in the realm of foreign policy, indicates independence and the preservation of Islamic identity in the interactions and engagements with other societies, governments, and civilizations. In this regard, the relationship between two variables, Grand Jihad and success in foreign policy (preservation of independence and non-alienation of Islamic identity), is analyzed using a descriptive-analytical method. The research is based on the hypothesis that since Grand Jihad delineates the framework and red lines of flexibility and defines interests and benefits, as well as outlines dignity based on wisdom in foreign interactions, it prevents policymaking and diplomacy contrary to the identity and independence of the Islamic government – based on insight and values. The results of this research include outlining the strategies that give substance to Grand Jihad in foreign policy, including the necessity of preserving Islamic identity and governance, diplomacy based on dignity, wisdom, and interests, the necessity of negating the system of arrogant disbelief and fighting against oppression, the necessity of supporting oppressed nations and governments, and the necessity of countering the infiltration of the system of disbelief.

The purpose of the present study is to explain the relationship between globalization and civilization-government. In this regard, a descriptive-analytic method was used to study distinctions between civilization government and national government so it was shown that a civilization government has the potential to enjoy benefits of globalization using existing pluralities. It seems that in both networking and competition fields, civilization governments have more usefulness and practicality compared to national governments in the state of globalization and that many countries have the possibility to establish a civilization government. By discovering the commonalities between agents in the realm of foreign policy, a civilization-government has more potential to follow up its purposes and interests. Civilization government stems from civilization identity so within the domestic realm, it has been able to design a coherent whole out of various internal pluralities. Contrary to national governments that rely on limited aspects of identity, civilization government is based on civilization identity and can have more extensive activity in the foreign policy by the civilization credit it has acquired throughout history.

Theoretical evolution in international relations is one of the important topics in the knowledge of international relations. In examining theoretical developments, the central issue is how to create new theories, create scientific debates between theories, and ultimately the emergence of different or conflicting theories. The introduction of the concept of civilization into the knowledge of international relations and the emergence of two readings of civilization have revealed the civilizational analysis of international relations in two different approaches. One approach considers civilization as a fixed and static "state", and the other approach considers civilization as a "process". The common feature of both approaches is that they both acknowledge the context-oriented nature of the theory and accept civilization as a level of analysis and a political category, but their difference lies in providing a different definition of the nature of civilization, the international system and Analytical outputs of civilization application are as a level of analysis. The hypothesis of the current research is that the existence of two conflicting approaches to civilization in international relations has shaped a civilizational debate in international relations and it seems that international relations is on the verge of the emergence of a civilizational theory. In this research, an attempt is made to provide a clear picture of this debate and a meta-analysis of the requirements of international relations theory by referring to the texts and meta-analysis of the generated data using the descriptive-analytical method.

The purpose of the present study is to answer how an Islamic government can make a friendly relationship with other states and at the same time sustain its dignity. The research relies on the hypothesis that determining the components of dignity in the international level such as not revealing the secrets and needs of the Islamic state, not adopting the Kuffar (unbelievers) as confidant, and also an analysis of the ways on how to make a friendly relationship with others for giving scientific, economic, and humanitarian services as well as cooperation with different governments in the fields of defense industry can present a model to substantiate friendship of hearts with non-Islamic governments and as result “improvement under the word of commonality” as a premise for advertising religion. The method of study is descriptive analysis and the results showed that dignity should involve persistence on the ideas of the one who has dignity. It means that the Islamic government should not easily give up its theological-political stand against the enemy such that other actors in the realm of international relations witness this stability and self-defense of the Islamic government. However, the Islamic government should not fall into the trap of overindulgence or underindulgence because the opposite country may raise tremendous inappropriate requests by overindulgence and make the Islamic state encounter security problems, and likewise, underindulgence may decrease the possibility of making an affectionate relationship with non-Muslim states.

The purpose of this study is to investigate and explain how civilizational debate is formulated in international relations. In this regard, it is examined that the two main active spectrums of this debate on what basis of meta-theoretical foundations formulated their discussions and, accordingly, what theoretical and civilizational rules and propositions have introduced in international relations. The results show that the existence of two types of trans-theoretical foundations, especially in the ontological dimension of civilization, has led to see two spectrums of civilization theories in international relations. The first spectrum considers civilization as an objective situation, object or phenomenon, and the second spectrum considers civilization as a process, subject and phenomenon of discourse. Each of these civilizational readings has different outputs in the analysis of the international system, foreign policy, security, and so on.
