Open local government, emphasizing three fundamental principles of transparency, participation, and accountability, aims to provide local services, develop local markets, enhance the quality of life for residents (citizens), and address environmental issues, among others. It seeks a space for democratic participation, civil dialogue, and building trust between local officials and the public. The goal of this research is to analyze the barriers to open local government in the country using a qualitative approach and thematic analysis, which faces challenges similar to new governance models in third-world countries, particularly in Iran. The study is based on semi-structured interviews and purposive sampling. The research community consists of 11 experts and scholars knowledgeable about this matter. Based on the findings from the interviews, the themes of barriers to open local government include 55 basic themes and 11 organizing themes categorized into three overarching themes: accountability, transparency, and participation. Identifying these barriers and raising awareness among elected local and regional officials, preventing corruption, enhancing the effectiveness of public services, and encouraging citizen participation through access to open data and better decision-making can help empower local government in Iran.

The rules of governance in the public policy of countries are defined on the basis of the power equation, political culture and state structure. The crisis in Gaza and the intense war waged by Israel are indicative of the fact that not only international politics is going through a period of anarchy, but there are signs of challenge in the structures of countries for making strategic decisions. When the foundations of strategic decision-making and policymaking are faced with lack of understanding, absence of strategic rationality and security challenges, it means that the principal pivots of strategic policymaking have not been taken into consideration. If we intend to consider the conceptual frameworks of conflict resolution in the Middle East, we need to pay attention to the rules of governance in this region; otherwise, we will be faced with constant, broad-based and unending challenges. Understanding the rules of governance can control and mitigate many of the security challenges of the West Asian region. In this paper, first of all, we seek to consider the rules of governance in public policymaking. Second, security signs and crisis-making challenges will be explored, and third, efforts will be made to present proper approaches to conflict resolution in the critical circumstances of the Middle East.The principal question raised by this papers is, “what signs do the foundations of governance have in the Middle East and how do they affect regional crises and strategic policies of the regional countries.” The hypothesis of the paper is, “the rules of governance in the regional security policy of the countries is based on transparency, participation, justice, productivity and accountability whiles such signs are taken into consideration by statesmen and policymakers to a limited extent in the process of making and adopting regional security decisions and policies in the Middle East.” The data analysis method was used in this paper.

Desirable governance under the discourse of modern Islamic civilization, which was one of the most fundamental and meaningful concepts that was formed in the context of the Islamic Revolution and then became a dominant discourse. The concept and development of the ideal governance requires the theorization of the components of government, its acquisition and issuance as a conceptual model that requires the explanation of the ideal governance according to the capacities of religious teachings. Using the descriptive-analytical method, this research addressed the question of what characteristics and components the ideal government has at the level of the Islamic revolution. In response to this hypothesis, the desired governance was proposed in line with the Islamic revolution based on Islamic teachings, which are elaborated in accordance with the capacities of today's humanity, with a twin view of the world and the hereafter, accountability, transparency, accountability, legality and the protection of citizen's rights. Drawing and regulating the relationships of human social life. Findings show. First, the indicators of good governance have a positive and significant relationship with the legitimacy of governments in different dimensions, especially the level of satisfaction of citizens. Secondly, the characteristics of good governance can be seen not only in religious teachings, but the grounds and tools for its realization during the four decades of the revolution are provided in accordance with the requirements of the society in legislation, justice and implementation. .

The serious obstacles and problems faced by Iran's Islamic Revolution in the first fourteen decades of its lofty goals have caused, despite significant progress, the maximum standards of the ideals of the Islamic Revolution have not been realized as it should be. The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran has stated that the main step of the movement at the current stage is the creation of the Islamic State, and by issuing a statement on the second step of the revolution, he has ushered in a new era. Based on this, the governance system of the Islamic Republic of Iran needs people who are hard-working, efficient, committed, adhere to religious, revolutionary, creative values ​​and such things so that the power of decision-making can be felt more. Therefore, by developing a model for the governance system of the Islamic Republic of Iran based on the statement of the second step of the Islamic Revolution, an attempt is made to dry up the root of many cultural, economic and social issues and problems. Considering that the superior and successful models of the countries cannot necessarily be suitable for the country with the goals of Islamic transcendental governance, for this purpose, in this research, using the data model of the foundation, the model of the appropriate governance system is extracted. To test the model in this research, Kappa method and Lausche coefficient are used. Finally, in order to ensure the correct correspondence of the components in each dimension of the model, confirmatory factor analysis has been used. The findings show that proper use of resources and capacities, creativity and innovation, rationality and logic, people's participation and long-term and forward-looking strengthening are among the strategies to reach the governance system based on the statement of the second step of the revolution.

Despite the apparent conflict between the republic and Islam, constitutional experts sought to balance these two concepts. Ultimately, however, the disproportionate imbalance between the two concepts and political conservatism in constitutional reform prevented some essentials of democracy, including responding to state crimes, from being enshrined in the constitution and, consequently, legislative and sub-legislative laws. The conceptual realm of state crime is all the harmful behaviors and those violating human rights by the state and its agents. In democracy-based government models, the need to respond to the behaviors is represented with components, such as a good governance model and structural-management reform of the government. In this regard, the system of the Islamic Republic of Iran, by adopting a minimalist approach, recognizes the responsibility only of governmental agents as the responsible private persons and not as an element or legal person of government and, as a result, uses the same common responses to private persons. While it is desirable that responding to state crimes should extend to governmental bodies and agents, as in public acts for legal people. Also, the lack of a competent authority, such as the supreme constitutional court, to respond to state crimes is one of the most important limitations of responding to such crimes. However, to compensate for the shortcomings and limitations of the Iranian legal system in this regard, there are various capacities in the constitution, such as the possibility of revision and modification according to Article 177 of the constitution.

Political decisions usually affect a large number of people but the point is to what extent these decisions are justified and verified, and to what extent, they have gone through the correct decision-making mechanisms. The negative consequences of some of these decisions have been motivating many researchers to figure out where the problem comes from. However, the problem is that most of these researchers have seen them in a suspended, abstract, and isolated way. The purpose of this article is, first of all, to provide criteria for evaluating these decisions, and in the next step, to identify the most important challenges of the government's political decision-making. In the third step, it tries to provide examples of these challenges with regard to the provided indicators, and then to show the relationship which they are related to the issue of "accountability" and their ultimate relationship with the gap between the government - the nation, and the weakness of the civil society. The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical and gathering data is based on documents, finally, statistical samples have been used to examine the process of several important political decisions. The specific finding of this article is that political decision-making is a multifaceted and complex phenomenon whose transparency, verification, and justification are closely related to the question of accountability and finally democratic mechanisms, and the existence of strong civil forces and political parties.

The method and model of good governance is one of the new and key topics that entered the development literature in the last two decades and quickly attracted everyone's attention. Good governance is to avoid the results and consequences of bad governance, because the lack of a democratic government and the lack of democratic structures cause problems and anomalies such as: poverty, inequality, lack of employment, corruption, lack of health and education, and lack of proper distribution. Wealth is at the level of society. Good governance has indicators and characteristics such as: participation, rule of law, transparency, accountability and responsibility, attention to public votes and collective agreement or consensus, equality, effectiveness and efficiency. According to what was said, the present study tries to evaluate the indicators of good governance in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Therefore, in response to this question, what is good governance in the Islamic Republic of Iran according to its indicators? The hypothesis that is evaluated in response to this question is that: in the Islamic Republic of Iran, because policy making in four political, social, economic and cultural fields is done by the government in a vertical manner, the results of this policy making by the government are inconsistent with Good governance indicators. It should be noted that the method of collecting data and information is observation and study, which was done by referring to the library and archive of documents and documents, as well as searching in virtual and internet networks. But the nature of the research is descriptive and analysis of data and findings.

Fundamental changes in the nature, structure and sources of power in Iran and the institutionalization of unique political power can be considered as one of the important achievements of the victory of the Islamic Revolution.

This article seeks to rely on the theoretical approach of the new institutionalism and the theoretical relationship between the issue of institutions and development to examine the rule of law and accountability in Iran during the specific presidencies of Mr. Ahmadinejad and Mr. Rouhani. The main question that this article will answer is what was the rule of law and accountability in Iran during the two presidencies of Ahmadinejad and Hassan Rouhani, and what effect did this performance have on the overall development process in the country? In this article, the hypothesis is that although in these two periods more or less efforts have been made in the direction of development, but due to lack of appropriate mechanisms in the country, these efforts lack the necessary capacity to create the desired result in changing the country in terms of development and good governance at the international level. . This study, using analytical-descriptive method and referring to international statistics in the field of these two indicators, will show that although during these two periods, politically, there are differences in terms of indicators and global statistics show a relative improvement in the spiritual period. But the general picture of the trend of these governance indicators in Iran is not in a favorable situation and while the overall score of the country is negative, it also has a downward trend.
