Imam Khomeini emphasized the role and the position of the people in the Islamic state in the historical stages before and after the Islamic Revolution in Iran, but since he did not systematically explain his philosophy of republic based on his religious thinking, as a result different people with different theoretical approaches have had different interpretations of republicanism and its theoretical foundations in his political thought. The question now is, what is the basis of Imam Khomeini's thinking about republicanism based on epistemic foundations? The hypothetical answer is that republicanism in the political thought of Imam Khomeini stems from the anthropological and ontological point of view in his epistemic system based on mysticism. The present paper uses an analytical and interpretive approach to explain the principles of republicanism in the political thought of Imam Khomeini. The result is that republicanism in the thought of the Imam is based on principles such as human freedom and the service of the people in the mystical thought of the Imam. In the mystical thought of Imam, the establishment of the government is aimed at serving the people. Obviously, serving the people will include satisfaction and popular will. On the other hand, in the epistemic system of Imam Khomeini, human rights and religious rights are not considered to be separate. Therefore, it can be said that the thought of the Imam about Republic, while also being a human right, is considered to be Islamic and religious law.

Japan, as the most influential country in East Asia, has played an active role in shaping the region's structure over the past three decades. Though in pursuit of its goals and attaining its maximum interests, it encountered obstacles such as the rise of China, but because of its importance and economic weight, it has consistently been striving to consolidate its role as a regional leader. From Japan's actions, the founding of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 1966, which Japan was playing as the leader of the Asian region, played a role within the framework of the Bank. In the late 1990s, following the 1997 financial crisis in East Asia, regime-building in East Asia intensified. The main question is why Japan has created or supported regimes in the East Asian region and beyond? The variables of the article are such that regimen is considered as an independent variable and the consolidation and promotion of economic status, as well as balancing, are considered as dependent variables. In response to the main question, using the approaches of the regime and balancing, it is argued that Japan, after the 1997 crisis, seeks to stabilize and promote the status of its economy and control the growing power of China, In this regard it initiated the proposals to establish an Asian Monetary Fund, strong support to form ASEAN+6 or the East Asia Summit, support for the Comprehensive Economic Partnership for East Asia, support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership and a commitment to provide $ 110 billion funding in 2015 and increased it to $ 200 Billion In 2017. The compilation of materials and data is the library method.

In the international area, the most important problem is the compulsory migration. The most important part which is affected by the problem are the women. Therefore, it has become essential to look at forced migration for women. The aim of this study is to investigate the impressions of Afghan women about compulsory migration. In this study qualitative research method was used in which information was obtained from interviews with Afghan immigrant women. The information obtained from the interviews with 30 Afghan women living in Tehran. The study took place in the form of field research and the information obtained was analyzed accordingly. According to Afghan women the reasons are security problems, Taliban oppression, ethnic conflicts, economic collapse, poverty and the unemployment. Collected data is divided into three main topics. These are war or external enemies and civil war, economic crisis and familial causes. Finally, in our study, we saw that even though men of the house seem to be making the decision for the migration, women themselves have a direct or indirect influence on the decision for it.

The central issue of this article examining the relationship between pandemics and politics with emphasis on the coronavirus pandemic and its transformation into a crisis and then an event in Iran and its political and security consequences. The hypothesis of this research is that some epidemics in Iran's history, by creating crises in politics, have become events and by creating environmental entropy have led to changes in Iran. Covid-19 is also an opportunity for institutional reform, national solidarity, acceptance of public participation and jurisprudential improvements due to the special situation in Iran and its conjuncture with global pressures, inefficiency crisis, identity challenges and the transition of power in the country. But if the importance of the issue is not understood, an abysmal situation (Civilization Trauma) awaits Iran. The method of this article is explanatory research based on a historical re-reading or political explanation of the epidemics in Iran's history.
