Iran's role in Syria is widespread not only in the recent war, but also in the course of history, so that these relations can be considered the oldest political, economic and military relations between Iran and one of the Arab countries in the Middle East. In the period after the Islamic Revolution of Iran, the cooperation between the two countries was mostly due to the existence of a common enemy. Therefore, the existence of the Ba'athist regime in Iraq and the Zionist regime, and now Salafi extremism as common enemies of the two countries, have been the most important variables affecting the strategic alliance between Iran and Syria. This study tries to answer the question using "descriptive-analytical method and from the perspective of the principles governing world politics in the Middle East and the principles of international law:" Iran's role in the Syrian crisis according to the realist logic of world politics in "How can the Middle East and the rules of international law be assessed?" The findings of this study show that the Islamic Republic of Iran, citing the originality of sovereignty and legitimate defense in international law and relying on intervention with the invitation and consent of the Syrian government and in the framework of defensive realism and threat balance, maintains its security from security. Syria has begun.

Human is a social being who needs to develop in order to survive and feel secure. In its layers of research, economic development focuses on human relations and management of distribution and production of resources in a country within the concept of political economy. In some countries and regions of the world, throughout the transition to a developed society, importance of social relations and political as well as cultural aspects of society for the production and distribution of wealth has been studied, and concept of political economy developed in the path of growth and development of the country/region which has led to the development of the region at the end. In such societies, policy-making structures as well as the role of individuals and institutions are transparently established in the path of development. In some underdeveloped or developing regions, such as the Middle East, the government manages the sources of wealth and power, but for several reasons, including the absence/inefficiency of public organizations, applicable interaction between the government and people does not take shape. In these societies, political economy will remain in transitional condition due to numerous problems including religious conflicts, multiplicity of ethnic groups, political crises, terror, civil wars, territorial disputes with neighbors, consequences of dependence and colonialism, weak foreign policy, sanctions, etc. In this article, the most serious challenges faced by the Middle East in its path to power projection in the world community will be briefly examined.

The present descriptive-analytical research has been conducted in an attempt to find the requirements of governance in the "post-…” era. Today, major developments in epistemology and fundamental changes of ideology have seriously changed the political affairs. These two transformations have made the institution of the state and its governance in the development era the most important priorities of policymaking and theorizing. In response to the question raised, this article is organized in two sections: in the first section, after explaining the logic of transition to the “post-…” era and the reasons for finding the importance of governance, the most important requirements of governance in the age of development have been proposed by emphasizing the moral/native conditions of Iran as one of the countries on the path of development. For this purpose, a critical normative theoretical approach has been used considering the governments responsible for preparing "fundamental goods”. The results of this research show that issues such as rethinking the philosophy of development, paying attention to the idea of alternative development, improving the quality of the development-oriented government, and the teleology of governance in the age of development with local requirements are some of the most important issues that should be on the agenda of governments seeking development, including the government of Iran.

The emergence of the Corona pandemic in early 2020 has become a major concern for national and international concerns and activities, which makes it unavoidable to be aware of global causes and effects and to respond appropriately to this emerging international phenomenon. What has been posed so far as the challenges of world politics have been hard issues such as nuclear proliferation and soft issues such as the environment, but never has a disease, which has spread all over the world, been included in global politics. The question that arises is: Can the Corona Pandemic be on the agenda of world politics and be considered as one of the soft issues of world politics? In response, it can be assumed that: Although the Corona pandemic has severely affected the world community, it is not yet eligible to be on the agenda of global politics, and this depends on the extent to which the international system has had significant influence, continuity and diplomatic responses. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the possibility or impossibility of designing a corona pandemic as a global policy agenda and assessing the situation after it. First, by presenting the theoretical framework, how to determine the issues of the world policy agenda, then the Corona pandemic is evaluated as a soft international issue and the possibility of change in the global policy agenda, according to the recent developments.

The spread of the corona virus covid-19 has affected on different aspects of human life. International relations and world politics has been subjected to these effects, too. Regarding the linkage between the medical and the international affair, the article aims to study the results of the corona outbreak for world politics. Hence, the main question here is how the medical and the international have related during the spread of corona virus covid-19. My hypothesis is that during the period, their linkage has led to paradoxical situations on different issues including actors, processes, and results. Given the breadth of the subject and the difficulty of applying traditional theories, eclecticism has been used to explain the argument. Therefore, based on this theory and using both explanatory and allegorical methods, the hypothesis is tested. In this regard, I’ll, first, select two instances for each of above-mentioned issues and, then, study the linkage between the medical and the international. Theoretically, I will use an eclecticism. Findings show that covid-19 has not left any critical change in world politics.

Culture is referred to in the lexicon and tradition of international politics as soft power; Because soft power is the ability to shape the preferences of others, and its material is persuasive. In a way, today this reading of power is used against hard power (military power and weapons) which is accompanied by coercion and violence. Recently, the field of international relations has been strongly influenced by cultural and identity factors. Therefore, gaining international prestige and influence in public opinion, in other words, access to soft power, is one of the important and at the same time unspecified goals of countries' diplomacy in the field of international politics. , Cultural facilities, opportunities and capacities of each country are pursued in different ways and mechanisms. On the other hand, the acquisition and acquisition of power in the new world follows different patterns compared to the past, and in a way, has introduced new variables for the production and exercise of power as well as the analysis of international issues. Therefore, this article seeks to examine the position and role of cultural power in the foreign policy of countries and its impact on global developments, especially after the events of September 11.

In recent decades, challenges such as disease, immigration, human rights, environmental issues, digital currencies, terrorism, drug trafficking, cyberspace, etc. have led to the transition of International policy challenges to world politics. These issues are one of the most important fields of study in the field of international relations. Understanding this transition depends on formulating these challenges. The main question of this research is: How can the challenges and issues of global politics be formulated? It seems that the presentation of a new formulation of challenges and issues of global politics based on the three components of "human", "biosphere" and "human-biosphere relationship" leads to a new perspective in which the multiplicity of actors And the impact and role of each of them is explained at the level of "global politics" analysis. In the present study, an attempt is made to provide a new and specific format and understanding of world politics with a descriptive and analytical method and collection tools such as library method in order to provide a new and specific formulation compared to the existing formulations.

This study attempts to explore the development and evolution of Mackinder's geopolitical thinking in world politics of British Empire and its influence thereafter. This research paper examines the characteristics of geopolitical perspective of Britain, through Halford Mackinder's Heartland theory during the three periods of the early twentieth century to the present time. In this regard, the paper will review variables of territorial status, power, geopolitical rivalries, and geopolitical determinism to explore the core thesis of Mackinder's geopolitics and implications of British international politics today. The article approaches realism/neorealism for understanding the role of Mackinder's geopolitical considerations in Britain's global politics. The Author argues that Mackinder primarily tried to identify geopolitical advantages and disadvantages of Great Britain, and then, finding solutions to sustain British Empire's life and prevent its decline. The findings show that interactions of identified factors played a role in policy development and geopolitical rivalries with other European powers. This article suggests that the foreign policy decisions of British statesmen have largely influenced by Mackinder's geopolitical variables in terms of balance of power and the continuity of Britain's influence during the Empire and in the present time in some parts of the world, including Eurasia and the Middle East. It suggests that Mackinder's theory is extensively used in international politics of America and Britain since the end of the Cold War.

Political Islam is a concept germane to the current century and contrary to conventional Islam. In this regard, Islam plays a functional role in political contexts and creates a theoretical framework for social regularity and its requirements. Nowadays, this issue has been defined not just in its abstract sense, but also in its practical sense in the political arena. In recent decades, the Islamist political agents not only have shown strong impacts on the cultural, political and economic processes of their contexts, but also have challenged the global policies. Several factors such as Palestine issue, the victory of Iranian Islamic revolution, the occupation of Afghanistan, the collapse of Soviet Union, the September 11 events and Arab spring have accelerated pragmatism in Islamic policies. There is no doubt that political Islam confronts other paradigms. Yet, its intra-paradigmatic changes are very important and noticeable. This means that despite the common reference of political Islamic readings to a religious source, in practice, there have been partly different socio-cultural outcomes in the face of globalization, modernity, secularism, new world order, Americanization, Eurocentrism, anti-Westernization and so forth. These specific sociological schools of political Islam and cultural politics associated with it, could at least have multiple social and political manifestations. This study tries to explain and interpret the paradigm of political Islam, its intra-paradigmatic changes in terms of West’s interpretation (i.e., in view of World Politics) and in comparison to different readings of political Islam.
In this paper, descriptive, analytical and explanatory methods were used to describe different models of political Islam, their intellectual forms, structures and agents. In the meantime, their internal components and functional outcomes were analyzed. Then, the nature of thought and its interaction with global policy were explained.

Culture is a key variable in understanding of global politics and international relations’ arena, which is usually ignored by realism as dominant approach. But Gramscianist thinkers have prepared a broad field to encompass culture in global politics and international relations by theorizing the concept of “Hegemony”. This article brings up this main question that what is the relationship between culture and hegemony? And through studying the ideas of Gramsci and his followers, offers this hypothesis that there is a direct relation between Culture and Hegemony and in opposite of common perception that wrongly assume Hegemony as a coercive dominance, hegemony is a kind of dominance based on satisfaction and the ability of cultural and ideological leading of societies. So, legitimacy and cultural acceptability of superpowers have got more importance rather than military and economic power to guarantee their global superiority. In consequence, culture can implement hegemony and is a necessary factor for an actor to play a hegemonic role in global stage. Finally, this article offers some guidelines for policy making in Islamic Republic of Iran according to Gramscian teachings.
