Security and development are two interconnected and complementary concepts which are of great importance in government's planning. Studies show that security cannot keep going without development, continuation of which is costly. Also it is not impossible to achieve development without creating suitable security structures. Therefore this paper aims to investigate the role of navy in Makran coasts development on the basis of security-development theory, and its effect on national security of Islamic Republic of Iran. This is an applied study with a descriptive-analytical design. It was done through library research and field study (questionnaire) with a statistical population of 30 experts familiar with security issues and the region. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Supporting the hypotheses of the research, the results indicate that the military presence of navy in Makran coasts will develop infrastructures of harbor, industries and basic facilities for navy's personnel, in terms of healthcare, education, welfare and culture, thus playing a crucial role in bringing the region out of geographical isolation and helping the deprived people living in this region. With regard to the existing potentialities, navy's military presence in Makran can increase job opportunities in harbors and sea-dependent industries which will consequently decrease the local insecurities and increase the security rate of this part of Iran.

The actions of terrorist groups such as ISIS in Syria and Iraq have become a serious threat to the countries in the region. Therefore, the Iraqi and Syrian governments as sufferers of these actions have demanded assistance from Iran to launch military operations against terrorist groups. Although anti-terrorism conventions have provided appropriate legal approaches to counteract terrorist actions through arresting and punishing the culprits or their extradition, the actions of groups such as ISIS in Iraq and Syria are not case-based and dispersed terrorist actions that could be contended through the peaceful methods and judicial solutions contained in the antiterrorism treaties. Consequently, the victim governments of terrorism under the conditions of Article 51 of the United Nations Charter can defend themselves against such armed attacks by use of force. Iran's military actions in Syria and Iraq, which performed due to the invitation of and in harmony with the above-mentioned governments, are in accordance with the right of collective defense contained in Article 51 of the mentioned Charter.

Organization development is a series of distinct and dynamic activities and not a machine-based or step-by-step method. Each organization has its own unique issues, problems and opportunities; that is, every program of the organization development is per se a unique program. However, all of the organizational development programs are definite flows or processes of interdependent activities that move in the course of time towards the goals of organizational development and personal betterment. The main question in this research is that: What is the appropriate process model for implementation of the development plan in the military organizations? In order to answer this question and design an appropriate model for the development implementation in the military organizations, descriptive method, comparative tables and interview method have been used. Development and transformation activities for the military organizations can be explained at five key stages: Preparation for acceptance of development, design of development, preparing for the implementation of the development plan, implementation of development, and controlling and continuation of development. Each of these stages has its own related steps that are validated and finalized through using the focal group method. In the final stage, with regard to the statements of the Supreme Leader, the designed pattern has been compared to the steps stated by him.

In 2014, the Supreme Leader declared the policy known as the armament of the West Bank. The declaration of this policy provoked different reactions at the regional and global levels. In this paper, we seek to answer this question with the descriptive-analytical method and reference to the United Nations resolutions and the principles of the international law: How can the Supreme Leader's policy regarding the armament of the West Bank from the perspective of the international rules be evaluated? Findings of the research and its analysis showed that the mentioned policies, based on three axial arguments of helping realization of the principle of determining the fate, implementing the principle of protecting the oppressed as one of the principles of the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the international law of Islam and fighting against terrorism in order to strengthen the national government and with due respect to all international standards, including the principle of non-intervention, the principle of respect for the international human rights and the humanitarian rights legally have the right in the international law.

One of the challenges that research and development centers confront in the defense area is the prioritization of the development projects of a new product from among the diverse ideas, plans and demands of the armed forces and defense researchers with regard to resource restraints. In this respect, effective zones in the selection of the projects of developing a new defense product including defense, organizational and strategic, knowledge and technology, market and risk realms, as well as indicators related to each realm were extracted by conducting extensive library and field studies. With regard to the diversity and multiplicity of indicators, which lead to an increase in the error of prioritizing the projects, using the principal components analysis and data mining method in 21 research projects, the number of indicators were reduced from 42 identified indicators to 25 indicators. Also, a priority method, developed by the Fuzzy Topsis method, was proposed under the title of Fuzzy Topsis. In order to assess the efficiency of the suggested method, the prioritization of the five new product development projects was analyzed using hierarchical analysis, Fuzzy Topsis and structural Fuzzy Topsis, and the results of each of the three methods were compared with the opinions of the senior managers of the organization and it was observed that prioritization by the proposed method has the lowest difference with the senior manager's opinion. Also, in prioritizing 5 projects with the proposed method, the fifth project with a closeness coefficient of 0.4915 was selected as the first priority, the first project with a closeness coefficient of 0.3643 as the second priority, and finally the fourth project with a closeness coefficient of 0.3010 as the last priority.

Policies of the defense industry are one of the most important branches of industrial policy of countries, and industrial policy itself is considered as one of the branches of public policy. Industrial policy involves the various methods of government intervention in the field of industry and technology which is cooperatively and consciously applied in order to progress in industrial development. In the meantime, the behavioral irregularities of the industrial sector in the country's economic composite result from two different dominions, firstly, from the slowness of the internal relations, and second, from the inconsistencies with its peripheral environment's requirements. This paper seeks to be a guide for the industrial policy makers and to explain its industrial policies by doing a realistic case study. In this way, based on a two-stage conceptual model, first the desirable situation of policy making based on the scientific works has been designed, and then the proposed policies for the active industrial organizations in the field of defense have been provided as the following: "Adopting a core and network policy", "founding a strategic union with the favorable domestic industries and the consolidation of vital links" and "a platform look (product family) to the design and production of products and systems". The logic used in this research was "data-base analysis" and from among its four different approaches, according to the research requirements, the Glazer and Strauss approaches were chosen. The main findings and innovations of the paper were the proposed policies that are explained and elucidated at the end of the paper.
