The trend of increasing importance and impact of knowledge in defense organizations is undeniable. In this regard, in order to manage knowledge and its acquisition and creation in defense organizations, it is necessary to pay full and comprehensive attention to the issue of knowledge social computing. Knowledge social computing is a branch of knowledge management literature that is a kind of development of intellectual capital, software and hardware that is used with the necessary conditions to exchange or combine a concept or category. The purpose of this study is to design a pattern of knowledge social computing in the defense organizations of the Islamic Republic of Iran based on the values of the school of pure Islam, which extracts key and important points. Relevant codes have been extracted through the study of sources such as the Holy Quran, hadiths, Islamic texts and the orders of the Imams of the Islamic Revolution, from the perspective of beneficial science and by reviewing interviews with the defense industry experts. The research approach is a mixed method with a partially mixed sequential dominant status design. In this research, three methods of "domain review-Grounded theory-survey" have been used. First, qualitative and then quantitative data have been collected and analyzed. In the qualitative phase, first the internal and external sources related to the domain review method have been extracted and then while reviewing the relevant archival sources, an interview has been conducted with defense experts and then using the qualitative method of the Grounded Theory, 298 indicators, 32 concepts, 14 components and 8 dimensions have been extracted. In the quantitative phase, a questionnaire has been used to collect data, and the seven-point Likert scale has been used for assessment. To confirm the components of the framework and explain their relationships, the survey method has been used. The results show that the two dimensions of power and scientific independence and indigenous facilities and capacities are the most related ones to the social computing of knowledge in defense organizations. One of the important results of this research is the essential role of knowledge social computing, which can document most of the knowledge assets of defense organizations that are produced by individuals during the work processes, and the process of absorbing, acquiring and creating knowledge to the point of scientific demarcation.

One of the requirements of pattern defense organizations is the creation an agile organization and nimble staff to develop expertise, along with agility characteristics that they could be responsive to the needs and changes in an operating environment with a wide risk and, in other words, the lack of confidence. The theme of this research is the agile-building pattern for organizations by an approach to defense organizations. The problem of this study is that what is the desired agile-building pattern for organizations? How is the agile-building in the organizations by an approach to a defense organization? We used the library method for gathering research literature and tools for data collection are the questionnaire. The population is composed of 15 experts and used the Delphi method. To analyze the data used descriptive and inferential statistics and SPSS and Expert soft wares. The dimensions and indicators using selected by the Delphi method and were chosen by AHP, their criteria and weight, and then designed model was discussed by experts. Finding of this study is to present a pattern of the agile-building organizations by an approach to the defense organizations of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Current study is aimed at evaluating the cooperation of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) with Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and its influence on security of Islamic Republic of Iran in a descriptive method. The results of study show that close cooperation of Southern Persian Gulf Countries with NATO has negative impacts on security of Islamic Republic of Iran and so limits the interests of Iran in the region. In current situations the operations of NATO in the region are challenging to national interests of Iran, and the attitude of Iran toward NATO as an organization under the direct influence of the United States, is a completely controversial one. Military presence of all high-ranking NATO members in Persian Gulf and Oman Sea and existence of their different defense treaties with Iran’s southern neighbor countries and independent common-wealth ones in North of Iran, especially with Azerbaijan, are examples of the military presence of NATO and its high-ranking members in borders of Iran. This can be considered as a threat against security of Islamic Republic of Iran. Financial and army supports of the U.S and its allies for Iraq during imposed war, supports of most of high-ranking members of NATO on Iran oppositions, their supports for territorial claims of Arab Countries on Persian Gulf Islands, unprecedented selling of modern weapons and army facilities to GCC member-states, their overuses of the human rights subject against Iran as a political means, their accusations based on Iran’s achievement to mass destruction weapons or Iran’s supports for terrorist attacks, are among negative elements of NATO attitude toward Iran. Presence in defense and security treaties of the region is among the most critical strategies of Islamic Republic of Iran to overcome new threats and to defuse enemies’ plots on ignoring Iran in regional relations.

In the current conditions of the international system, the use of synergistic capacities resulting from interregionalism is considered one of the suitable alternatives for the defense diplomacy of governments. The main question of this research is why interregional capacities lead to the strengthening of the defense diplomacy of the Islamic Republic of Iran? The method of this research is based on two steps; In the first step, a theoretical analytical model is presented, and in the second step, the actual and potential capabilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran's defense diplomacy and interregionalism are examined using empirical data. According to the hypothesis of this research, interregionalism has affected the space of strategic and defensive action. The defense diplomacy of governments affected by interregionalism needs to increase synergy in interregional networks.In the international system, the Islamic Republic of Iran has interactive and established interregional networks in geopolitical, geocultural and geoeconomic dimensions. Through network interference, these inter-regional networks can provide many potential capacities for the defense diplomacy of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Employing a miscellaneous range of soft- and hard options in countries’ defense policy, will pave the way for increased freedom of action, in which defense diplomacy could be used as a mechanism for drawing on soft power. This use of soft power has been made in defense-related areas, but a cognitive reflection on the components of soft power in IRI’s defense diplomacy must be developed through identifying the factors of soft power of defense diplomacy due to the lack of an integrated framework of defense diplomacy. So, using analytical-descriptive method with content-analysis, the present article addresses the indications of soft power in IRI’s defense diplomacy in the light of factors such as enjoying spiritual authority, demonstrating independence and being non-aligned to poles of global power, inspiration, cultural legacy, democratizing defense in the form of full spectrum defense, Iranian-Islamic identity, national integration, displaying honorary records during the Holy Defense and soft deterrence.

A defensive policy should be the source of coordination, the unity of the political act in its defined time period, otherwise, the actors will be in a pattern of behavior.   Therefore, defense policy is usually determined by leaders and rulers, the government of men, and upstream documents. Therefore, defense policy is usually determined by leaders and rulers, the government of men, and upstream documents. This research is descriptive-survey and the statistical population of this study is 30 military personnel and top ranking managers.

Thus, this paper intends to benefit from a method of systematic threat named RAMCAP, identify economic assets and threats of assets. To by identifying the focus of economic threats and vulnerabilities of national assets against attacks achieved to effective strategies of resistive economy to deal with that threats.

Defense diplomacy is a part of nation’s policy which is used as an important tool to achieve the main goals of armed forces.
