The purpose of this study is to study these issues: the degree of compliance of cultural policy with the concept of "authority", the challenges created for the policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and strategies to get out of this situation. The research method is descriptive-analytical and categories such as: macro approaches toward cultural policy-making, authority in policy-making, discourses governing cultural policy-making in Iran, pathology of cultural policy-making in the Islamic Republic of Iran, cultural policy-making strategies in accordance with the concept of authority in the Islamic Republic of Iran, have been examined. The results show that authority is not uniform in Iranian cultural policy-making and the multiplicity of authority has reduced the effectiveness of policies and the conflict among policies and has failed to make policy. It should be noted that failure to set a policy leads to multiple interpretations of the policy and leads to conflicting actions arising from a single policy.

Achieving the policy goals is a main challenge for policymakers in every country. Given the importance of health policies، policy making processes become very important. Success in policymaking in health sector requires an accurate analysis of all policy options and influential factors on policy outcomes. Knowledge of various approaches and methods of policy analysis is an important step for a successful policy analysis. In this study، we explored the roles، approaches and methods of policy analysis، especially in the health sector. In this review study، we searched local and international databases of published research using related keywords. We also reviewed referensecs of the collected resources. Finally، we read 84 papers and books for this review. Policy analysis includes a broad area and involves studying the content of policy، policy adoption، formulation، implementation and policy outcomes. There are different frameworks، approaches and methods for policy analysis which can be used based on the disciplinary framework، goals and objectives of analysis. Using approaches and methods of policy analysis helps a better understanding of the elements of a policy. Policy analysis is useful to better understand the policy process and provide related policy evidence for problems and policy changes. We provide a summary of these approaches and frameworks in this paper. Applying appropriate frameworks، approaches or methods of policy analysis is important in better understanding of the policy and problems. Proper policy analysis can help policy researchers in understanding of health policy outcomes.

The aim of this paper is identifying the appropriate policymaking framework for stabilizing goals of monetary and fiscal policies in Iran’s economy. The behavior of monetary and fiscal policymakers was extracted using dynamic optimization method and leader-follower model of game theory and defining policy makers’ constraints and objective functions under two main policy-making approaches: commitment and discretion. Based on findings, committed policymaking and a leadership central bank lead to increasing economic stability. The importance of stabilizing production and inflation for committed policymakers is more than discretionary policymakers. While for a committed policymaker, stabilization of inflation is more important than stabilization of production, for a discretionary policymaker stabilization of production is more important than stabilization of inflation. Research findings show that the stabilization of public debt for a committed central bank is more important than a discretionary central bank. Also The discretionary fiscal policy have cyclical behavior.

Cordon pricing and odd even policy come from travel demand management (TDM) policies which increase the willingness of people toward public transportation and non-motorized modes with reducing car utility and finally play a major part in decreasing of negative effects of traffic congestion. According to the high importance of choosing the type of TDMs’ policies for big cities in Iran, in this study, is tried to investigate the effects of change of odd even policy (current policy in Isfahan) to cordon pricing policy from the congestion and air pollution point of view. In this regard, the modeling of policies is done with combining the stated preference (SP), which were results of interviews with citizens and revealed percent decrease in air pollution 0.023 ,preference (RP) data. Results for peak hoar show 0.02 percent decrease in congestion costs for cordon pricing policy and 0.017 costs and percent decreases in air pollution and congestion costs, respectively. This 0.0158 percent and .results presents that cordon pricing policy is a more effective policy than odd even policy

The purpose of this paper is to identify an appropriate policy making framework in order to achieve the objectives of monetary and fiscal policies to stabilize the Iran economy. The behavior of monetary and fiscal policy makers was extracted by using the dynamic optimization method and game theory and objective functions definition and constrains facing policy makers under two policymaking approaches: discretion and commitment. Estimation of model parameters was done in 4 scenarios using Bayesian estimation method.Findings show that, committed monetary leadership led to an increase in economic stability. Output and inflation stabilization is more importance for committed policy makers than discretionary policy makers. While for a committed policy maker the inflation stabilization is more importance than output stabilization. For a discretionary policy maker, the output stabilization is more important than inflation stabilization. The results of research show that for committed central bank, the stabilization of public debt is more importance than for discretionary central bank. The fiscal policy in discretionary policy making approach have pro- cyclical behavior.

The main objective of this study is to investigate the interactive effects of monetary and macroprudential policies on the stability of Iranian banking system. For this purpose, the effects of monetary and macroprudential policies and interactive of these two policies have been evaluated using the annual time series data of 24 private and government banks of Iran during the period of 2007-2019 and using generalized moments method (GMM).The results show that the monetary policies have significantly caused the instability of the banking system, and the macroprudential policies have significantly increased the stability of the banks. Also, empirical findings of the research show that, the interaction of monetary policies and macroprudential has a positive and significant effect on the stability of banks. This result indicates that the implementation of macro reserve policies in Iran has caused the effects of monetary policies to be modified on the instability of banks. Hence, it is necessary for the economic policy makers to consider these interactions when designing monetary and macro prudential policy interventions. In fact, economic policymakers are advised to use macroprudential policies to strengthen the stability of the banking system when implementing expansionary monetary policies.

Macro policies, which are formulated and announced by the Expediency Discernment Council, are considered to be one of the most important upstream documents of public policy in the country. The pathologies that have been made about the failure of macro policies have mainly focused on the policy implementation stage. The current research has tried to deal with the pathology of the formulation stage of macro policies. For this purpose, by relying on the theoretical literature in the field of policy making and interviews with experts in this field, it has been tried to identify the harms of the policy formulation stage, which has led to the failure of the policy in implementation. Also, based on the pathology, a proposed framework for policy reform has been presented in the drafting stage. This research, based on qualitative methodology and thematic analysis method, and conducted through interviews with policy makers and implementers, shows that the implementation of fundamental changes in the policy formulation stage is necessary to prevent policy failure in the implementation stage. Among the most important harms identified in this research, we can mention the ambiguity in the legal and substantive status of the policies, the lack of clarity of the strategy, the undesirable multiplicity of policies, the lack of appointing a supervisor, and "not having an executive guarantee".

The main issue of the present writing is in regard with the relationship between ethics and politics. Seeking for an appropriate answer and following the study of four-dimension relationships –separation of ethics from politics, following ethics from politics, duality of ethics and politics, unity of ethics and politics- it is illustrated that during the history of change in concept and the relations of power and politics in one hand as well as ethics and regulation on the other hand and also the long lasting trend of unity in the continuous years, in a period which has been talked about separation- politics become ethical through regulation. Due to lack of regulation to make politics ethical, the gradual return towards the unity of ethics and politics led to public demand. In this regard the Islamic revolution of Iran in 1357 is of significant function. Today more than any other time, it is felt that how much politics and ethics are in need of one another. A long historical experience has taught to human that ethics and politics are two inevitable issues and the bilateral need makes these two necessities dependent to one another. Of course in spite of the internal politics in which this trend is identifiable and searchable, ethics and politics in the international level pass a parallel and dual path.

General policies mean to plan a system based on some ideals and goals and they have an important role in directing legal system and organizing the cultural and social problems. In the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the determination of general policies is done by the leadership along with the consultation of the Council of Expediency, and its good implementation is also supervised by the leadership that its responsibility is entrusted to the Council of Expediency. The Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution also considers itself as a policy-maker. This descriptive-analytical study aimed to investigate the pathology of policy-making process, the supervision of its proper implementation, and the assessment of the content of general family policies. According to the results, the general family policies are not effective enough, because of the large number of policy-making authorities, the ambiguity in the supervision ways of implementation of general policies, the mixing of general policies with executive plans, and legal inflation in organizing family problems. As a result, the followings are some practical solutions for modifying the policymaking process and its problems: the centralization of policy-making and implementation supervision, the reduction of general policies, and the refinement of general policies.
