Analyzing the articles of each discipline based on concepts can finally show the weaknesses and strengths in dealing with that concepts in the form of generalizable numerical data and can be used as a basic research in the direction of future research with a pathological approach. Coalitions and alliances have a special place in IR and determine how power is distributed in the international system; On this basis and due to the adoption of the serious and pragmatic foreign policy doctrine of the Islamic Republic of Iran based on looking to the East, the approach measurement of the concepts related to the organizations that play a role in this doctrine becomes important. For this reason, 109 articles with the approach of IR, which have exclusively or partially dealt with the issue of BRICS were evaluated using the categorical content analysis method based on theoretical keywords. Finally, we achieved results in this field of study, including the attention of publications of research institutes affiliated with institutions and organizations effective in foreign policy to BRICS-related articles, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or The Expediency Discernment Council, the Iranian researcher's political economy-based view on BRICS and welcoming the fundamental or partial change of the current international order and international system, analysis of issues related to BRICS based on the approach of multilateralism and the desire to transform the unipolar world into a multipolar one. In general, symptoms of Kissinger syndrome are also evident, which should be diagnosed in future research.

One of the important concerns of political thinkers in the modern era is to explain the relationship and limits of the influence of moral principles in the scene of political action and to persuade rulers to comply with these principles in political decisions. This research tries to discover and present solutions for the institutionalization of moral rules in international politics by analyzing the content of the Qur'anic verses and the traditions of the innocents. The findings of the research show that epistemic, emotional and behavioral solutions have been used in Islam to institutionalize moral values. Calling to monotheism, mission, monotheism, raising awareness among nations, encouraging rationality, avoiding eclecticism and avoiding suspicion are the most important methods of knowledge, love and compassion, gentleness and appropriate violence and human dignity are considered the most important emotional methods and moral behavior in Society, cultural and social behaviors and political, economic and military behaviors are among the behavioral solutions for institutionalizing moral values among Muslim and non-Muslim nations. The result of the article suggests that, from the point of view of Islam, in addition to the necessity of aligning political goals with ethics and moral values in international relations, the means of implementing political goals should also be valuable and moral.

Evolutionary research and Examining the research approaches are one of the important research field to understand the status of a discipline in a specific period of time and scientific community. Theoretical poverty in this field of study creates scientific ambiguity, An event that will eventually lead to the non-formation of effective thought circles. In this research, based on the interdisciplinary approach, 143 scientific research articles have been studies and the first step was taken. Based on special innovative method and using computer programming, we created a random and reiable statistical society. Also, based on the Grounded Theory research method, we found five confirmed theories that they can being a guide in future researches as indicators. The results of this research represent areas of research poverty and cases of excessive attention. In this research, we found that Iranian international relations are strongly influenced by the US foreign policy and it ignores the needs of the foreign policy doctrine of Islamic Republic of Iran. Also we realized the confusion of Iranian articles in epistemology and research method wich is caused by the lack of proper education.In this research, we did not address the causes of Iranian researchers paying too much attention to cases or their lack of attention to some issues. Finding the cause of these issues is in the field of Extra-disciplinary approach which is rooted in the environmental factors and the value system governing the thinking of Iranian international relations thinkers. The fact is that they try to distance themselves from government policy.

The present study aims to examine the political relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and India from a constructivist perspective. The research method is descriptive-explanatory, and it seeks to answer the questions: What perceptions do the foreign policy agents of Iran and India have of each other? And what are the opportunities and challenges in this relationship? The study is based on the hypothesis that the identity structure derived from the Islamic Revolution of Iran, which has extended to a structural-agent order in foreign policy, conflicts with the neoliberalism chosen by India's foreign policymakers and the ruling party. Thus, this difference in identity foundations and the structural-agent relationship in both domestic and international systems has created challenges and opportunities for both countries. Consequently, after the Islamic Revolution and Iran's withdrawal from the CENTO alliance and alignment with the West, and its joining the Non-Aligned Movement, of which India was a founding member, there was significant hope in the Islamic Republic of Iran for improved relations with India due to shared identity stemming from peaceful foreign policy and pacifism (Nehruism), which was based on non-alignment with major powers and solidarity with weaker countries. However, after the end of the Cold War and the paradigm shift in India's foreign policy from Nehruvian idealism to realism, changes in normative-identity foundations, the marginalization of the National Congress Party, the victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and closer ties with the West, the relations cooled. Therefore, it appears that the foreign policymakers of Iran and India may not be able to find intersubjective identity resources and shared values and norms to develop relations at a strategic level, which could be a challenge in the relations between the two countries.

In today's world, described as a global village, countries inevitably need to expand their interactions, collaborations, and international relations with each other. No country can claim to be self-sufficient, as thriving in the new global order is virtually impossible without transnational ties. States must regulate their relations with the rest of the world; Islamic states, additionally, must consider Sharia frameworks and norms when forming their international interactions. The term "governing rules of international relations" means that Muslims must adjust their relations with non-Muslim states in conformity to these guidelines. Given the gap in research, the present study employs a descriptive-analytical approach and problem-oriented perspective to explore the written Islamic heritage. The findings indicate that according to Sharia teachings and the opinions of Islamic jurists, four fundamental principles can be considered as the foundations of Islamic international relations: 1) The Rule of Dignity (Karāmah), 2) the Rule against Defamation of Religion, 3) Rule of Denying Means (Nafy al-Sabīl), and 4) Rule of No Harm (Lā Darar) with the Rule of Obligation (al-Iltizām) also being a subset and function of this rule.

International relation's arena is extremely effected of cultural and identity ingredients. So gain an aspect and international prestige, penetrate in public opinion and access to soft power are the important and at the same time unspecified goals is the diplomacy of countries. China's emerging power is trying to export its cultural industries and penetrate as deeply as possible in the MiddleEast in order to strengthen its soft power.The importance of this Chinese strategy can be seen in the cooperation document with Iran.At the same time, the identity and cultural opportunities contained in this agreement have the potential to expand Iran's soft power in the international system.Therefore, the purpose of this study is with descriptive-explanatory method and using library texts and available data to answer the main question, how does China's cultural exports to the Middle East and the cultural opportunities of the Iran-China Cooperation Agreement highlight the role of soft power in international relations?This hypothesis is raised in response to this question: China's investment in the distribution of identity products in the Middle East and the cultural opportunities resulting from the 25-year cooperation agreement for Iran, express the need for governments to pay attention to the concept of soft power.

Through the convergence of satellite and internet networks, new communication technologies have opened the platform for the emergence of new actors, including governments, organizations, companies, groups, and new personalities to enter the field of foreign policy and openly compete with traditional powers in the field of international relations. Investigating the impact of new technologies on the emergence of new actors in the international field is the main goal of this research. In the theoretical framework of the research, the approach of liberalism and power and technology theorists (Nye and Toffler) have been used. The statistical population of the research includes all university professors and students of post-graduate courses in political science and communication sciences, experts and media experts across the country in 2019 and the sample size was estimated to be 384 according to Cochran's formula. This research was carried out in a descriptive-analytical way using the survey method and researcher-made questionnaire tools, and descriptive statistics and factor analysis statistics were used to analyze the research findings. The findings of the research showed that new communication technologies, including five factors of web and mobile social networks, cyber journalism, virtual space, satellite networks and the Internet (search engines), in the emergence of global actors (transnational and international organizations, multinational companies, new governments and terrorist groups) are influential. But these influences are not the same and the biggest impact is attributed to the two factors of the Internet and virtual space.

The Study of Conceptual and Theoretical Framework of Social Capital in International Relation Abstract Social capital is one of the new Found Concepts In Inter discipline studies the it has Consider also international relations studies under of "international social Capital that . Immaturity emerged and of the in the conceptual and resulting from the complexity and neglect in the conceptual and theoretical development has caused its that have a real station yet. for this reason the preliminary and passing Consider of some researcher with international social capital, with respect the background that has been domestic, the mentioned idea to be a strange debates in international relations and a rule that is inconsistent and lacks conceptual and theoretical aford ability it seems. The purpose of this article is promate clear up the conceptual and theoretical dibit of this component in theoretical studies of international relations. This research has been done by using the analytical- describptivea Method and also using library Resources, and this is the question this article: What is the theoretical and conceptual basis of international social capital in discourse of international relations? The results show that, social capital is a metaphorical gem which according to the ratio and scope of new concepts of international relations with consept abstract and metaphorical concepts international social capital is also developed and conceptually and theoretically be descripted explained by relying on the metaphorical structures of the origin field,there is a conceptual and theoretical. 

The purpose of the present study is to review the principle of resorting to force from the view of international relations. The research method is descriptive-analytic and the results showed that resorting to force by any country against another one is condemned from the view of international documents including the United Nations Charter. No country is allowed to use force in international relations unless it is attacked and wants to defend itself by resorting to force. Peaceful intervention and resorting to force is permitted only if the Security Council of the United Nation detects a systematic and extensive fault in human rights which is threatening and against international peace and security. Resorting to force which involves threatening or using force without the official permission of the Security Council is regarded as a definite violation of the United Nations Charter. In case of violation of national sovereignty or human rights by any of the United Nations members, the principle of resorting to force in international relations should be applied with special care so that it won’t be regarded as a violation and unilateral application of force by more powerful countries.

The purpose of the present research is to study the soft power role of sport diplomacy in the success of the foreign policy objectives in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The research relies on the hypothesis that sport diplomacy improves foreign policy strategies and objectives of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The research method is descriptive-analytic and the results indicate that constructive cooperation between executive organizations in the country and using the potential of international sport by them can improve the existing situation and as a result we would be optimist to the betterment of Iran’s sport diplomacy. Islamic Republic of Iran due to having the potential capacity of sport can form its athletic diplomacy and apply it as an efficient means to improve international decency, Islamic Republic of Iran’s soft power, collaboration in regional peace and security, positive impact, attraction of public thoughts, removal of disputes, and international peace in the world. It is recommended that sport management takes place in a strategic field. It means that a 16 to 20-year-old plan and policy be compiled to be as a practical guide for the senior sport managers in the country. Therefore, personal taste and individualism would be avoided in the sport management and the country would be guided toward excellent purposes.

Introduction :

 Analyzing international relations (IR) theories reveals that non-Western theories are yet to fully materialize. Some scholars argue that a significant impediment to the recognition of non-Western IR theories is the pervasive influence of the US in the field of IR. They point to the extensive body of IR articles, books, and theories generated by American academic institutions and scholarly communities as a compelling base for their claim. Despite its European origins, the field of IR is argued to have matured and thrived in the US, hence an American social science. In this respect, researchers worldwide have embarked on various studies to assess the impact of American IR on the development of IR science and theory. Some IR scholars posit that the US hegemony following World War II has further entrenched the profound influence of American IR within the scholarly domain of IR. They argue that the US foreign policy in the bipolar world order, due to the US extensive involvement in pivotal international events, has become an inseparable aspect of IR studies. The crux of the argument lies in the fact that IR researchers select their objects of analysis by considering international events and influential factors. In this context, the US has played a central role in virtually all significant international events for approximately a century. Consequently, IR researchers tend to examine international events in line with the influential role of US foreign policy as a crucial variable.

Literature Review:

Assessing the approach of IR scholarship is a conventional method to understand the intra-disciplinary and extra-disciplinary factors shaping the discipline of IR. Concerning the explanations provided for the limited success of non-mainstream theorizing, scholars have consistently underscored the influence of US political domination on IR literature and theorization, leading to an academic hegemony characterized by the center–periphery dynamic. In light of these considerations, the extent of American influence on shaping academic scholarship in a given country is a recognized object of analysis, which can shed light on the status of IR discipline in the local and national contexts. Regrettably, the topic has not been examined in the Iranian scientific literature, except the author’s individual research titled “Research Approaches of Iranian International Relations Articles: A Review of Scientific Research Articles Published in 2021." The findings of this research helped discern the strong influence of US foreign policy on Iranian IR scholarship, notably in the selection of research topics and the research process.

The current research employed a random selection process and a specific software to choose 500 Persian articles from Iranian journals in the field of IR and political science, spanning from March 2019 to March 2022. The primary focus was to analyze the journal articles with regard to their being influenced by US foreign policy. Grounded theory was used as the research method, yet it is important to note that the aim was not to formulate a specific theory but to test the claim and present a confirmed proposition in light of the research findings. Actually, this method was used to gather information and align it with existing propositions and claims. The reliability of this research was ensured thanks to the systematic inductive process, which allows for an unbiased examination of the research proposition.

The findings revealed that Iranian IR researchers predominantly adhere to the framework of mainstream IR theories and exhibit limited inclination towards critical theories or globalized international relations theories. Notably, for every three Iranian articles on IR, one article was found to be focused on US foreign policy as a significant variable. There was the initially speculation that the substantial volume of articles on US foreign policy were attributed to the longstanding tense relations Iran and America over the past four decades. However, upon closer examination, it became apparent that only a limited number of these articles were directly related to Iran-US relations, and most of them were predominantly centered around Iran’s nuclear issue. A significant number of the journal articles had delved into US foreign policy in various world regions. For instance, for Iranian scholars of IR, US foreign policy is an important independent variable in the analysis of topics related to Iraq, ISIS, Afghanistan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. An evaluative analysis revealed that Iranian IR researchers tend to hold a pessimistic outlook on the performance of American foreign policy, which is closely aligned with the official foreign policy stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The prevailing opinion among Iranian IR scholars is that the active presence of America in international events is not motivated by humanitarian objectives. They contend that US decisions such as the military occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, the military presence in the Persian Gulf, or the provision of American aid to Israel are devoid of genuine humanitarian goals. Instead, they view American intervention as a source of instability in the international order and a disruptive factor of global peace. The pessimistic perspectives put forth by the majority of Iranian IR researchers echoes what is often termed as Kissinger Syndrome.

The analysis of 500 articles led to several noteworthy conclusions. First, Iranian IR scholars tend to follow the mainstream IR theorizing, demonstrating a distinct separation from critical schools of thought. Second, Iranian IR does not seek to localize IR ideas or enrich its perspectives in line with global IR. Third, Iranian scholarship is critical of the US international role and perceives it as a disruptive factor of regional and global stability and peace, despite the US declared humanitarian foreign policy. Fourth, Iranian IR research focuses on US foreign policy as an independent variable, which can be attributed to America’s extensive involvement in regional and global crises. Finally, while Iranian IR scholarship dedicates itself to issues of significant relevance to the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, it often overlooks the performance and impact of Iran’s foreign policy in these areas. Instead, it approaches the relevant issues from the perspective of other variables.

In the current study, the place of artificial intelligence in foreign policy strategy, the amount of investment and use of artificial intelligence in the field of international relations and future wars of the United States of America were analyzed in the framework of game theory. The type of research is theoretical-applied. The statistical community of professors and experts who are active in the field of artificial intelligence and American studies with specialized doctorate and postdoctoral degrees; They were selected by snowball sampling. In addition to referring to existing books and documents, the tool for data collection was using a closed questionnaire on a Likert scale.The data was analyzed in spss software.The obtained results show that the United States, seeking to improve its economic situation, has considered one of the main goals of artificial intelligence development. On the other hand, the improvement of scientific and research capacities as well as the improvement and development of technical and data infrastructures have also been considered.Overall, all US strategies in artificial intelligence have seven themes:Financing of research and development, regulation and regulation and development of standards, culture building, training, consulting services, networking, support for cooperation and ecosystem and stimulation of market demand.

Today, soft power has become one of the advantages of political systems in the field of international relations, and the actors of the international environment want to improve their prestige and influence by using the soft face of power in their relations. Exploiting soft power enables them to avoid the financial and human losses caused by the use of hard power, and in this way, they bring the minds and opinions of the international public with them. Countries that have more powerful software components have the possibility to influence more in bilateral or multilateral relations. By raising the question of how the cultural diplomacy of the Islamic Republic of Iran can be analyzed with the approach of soft power, this research has reached the answer that promoting the values of the Islamic Revolution through cultural diplomacy is one of the basic goals of the revolution and the context of its soft power. To explain the problem and answer this question, the theory of soft power was used and it was stated that the values and culture of the Islamic Revolution with universal characteristics such as justice, freedom, independence, arrogance and anti-tyranny, defense of the oppressed and oppressed, And... through various tools of cultural diplomacy such as diplomacy: media, scientific, educational, artistic, tourism, religious and linguistic; and by using the capacity of various organizations, bodies and institutions in charge of culture; and benefiting from efficient human resources; It seeks to create a new order.

The present study aims to answer how transformation and smartization of the U.S military power strategy has been conducted in the Persian Gulf region since 2001. The research relies on the hypothesis that consequences and high costs of the U.S military strategies during the presidency of George W. Bush, under the influence of hard power, made later presidents in the country to follow the strategy of smart power. Along with military presence, they also attempted to rebuild the U.S deteriorated image in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf region by some strategies like diplomacy, trade, foreign assistance, and propagation of their values. The research method was content analysis and the results showed that consequences of the U.S military intervention in the Persian Gulf revealed strategic limitations of Washington’s hard power policy during the Bush presidency. Thus, Barack Obama and later presidents in the country emphasized on the simultaneous use of hard and soft power, under the title of smart power. Although their approaches were different, their most important smart and common objective was to intelligently change power balance in the Persian Gulf region, in favor of the U.S and against Iran, by coalition between Israel and Arabic countries especially Saudi Arabia and UAE in the region.

The purpose of the present research is to study effective criteria on Russia’s policy towards Islamic countries in the Middle East after Arab revolutions. In this regard, the main research question of the current study is: what factors have led Russia to adopt a balanced policy towards Islamic countries in the Middle East during 2011-2020? Moreover, the research relies on the hypothesis that during that the above time period, Russia, on the one hand, assisted Shi’ite groups led by Iran to fight against excommunication (Takfiri) terrorism, and on the other hand, expanded its relations with Sunni Muslim countries in order to prevent stimulation of religious fundamentalism in its Muslim republics. The current study which was conducted by a descriptive analytic method in the theoretical framework of constructivism, presents a rather distinctive analysis of the essence of Russia’s relations with middle eastern Islamic countries after Arab revolutions. The results indicate that since Arabic revolutions in 2011 and formation of new groups in the regional and international level in the Middle East, especially the Syrian crisis that initiated a new stage in Russia’s relations with the Islamic world, Moscow has attempted to adopt a balanced policy towards Islamic countries in the Middle East to remove the danger of Islamic extremism, avoid tension with those countries and reinforce relationship with them. Therefore, it is expected that Russia highlights the role of Islam in its foreign policy and that Russian politicians show more interest in constructive collaboration with middle eastern Islamic countries.

The objective of this research is to examine the regional security of the Islamic Republic of Iran, focusing on the changing actions of Saudi Arabian political officials. Using the descriptive-analytical method, the study concludes that between 2010 and 2018, Saudi officials implemented policy changes primarily aimed at containing the Islamic Republic of Iran. These measures sought to prevent Iran from assuming a dominant and decisive role in the turbulent West Asian region. The strategic competition between Iran and Saudi Arabia has the potential to transform the West Asian region into the epicenter of intense regional and geopolitical rivalries, thereby posing security challenges at both national and regional levels. As long as this competition persists, national security remains at risk. Given Miller's theory of war and peace, the turning point in this policy lies in the perceptions of decision-makers. If decision-makers alter their perception of the operational environment, it is possible for them to transition from a hegemonic model to a collaborative model, fostering a convergent and cooperative atmosphere in West Asia.

Realist theories in international relations have always had a special and focal position, and many thinkers and researchers have elaborated their intellectual foundations within the framework of realist assumptions. The realist theories of international relations can be divided into different categories from different perspectives, including the modern/classical and defensive/offensive categories. Each of the thinkers of realism in international relations have sought to present theories that have acceptable explanatory power and predictability, and at the same time have basic and coherent requirements, so that the name of theory can be given to it. In this regard, in a book entitled "From Wealth to Power: The Unusual Origins of America's World Role", Farid Zakaria has explained the basics and presented his theory under the title of "state-centered realism", which, in criticizing defensive realism, has explained the theoretical explanation of America's foreign policy and how to increase its power. and the interests of this country in the period of 1865-1908. Accordingly, in this article, we seek to explain and analyze the basics of this theory, as well as state its flaws based on the concepts contained in it. The basic questions of this research are as follows: First, what has this theory brought to the realist school of international relations? And secondly, what defects does it have? The research method is descriptive-analytical with emphasis on the theoretical concepts found in the mentioned book.

Critical geopolitics, which entered the literature of international relations since 1975 with the efforts of Frankfurt school theorists, the identity, discursive approach and the importance of unofficial-state actors are among the basic components of this approach. The present article seeks to answer the question whether it is possible and capable of using critical geopolitical theory in the analysis of the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The authors' findings and assumptions show that the components of critical geopolitical theory such as the identity, legitimacy of non-governmental and unofficial actors can be used in the analysis of the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Therefore, the aim of this article is to analyze the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, using the theory of critical geopolitics (goal), the descriptive-analytical method and the theoretical capacity of the critical geopolitical approach in international relations to analyze the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic.

The main claim of the present study is that understanding the dynamics of international phenomena necessitates paying attention to concepts. In addition to their conceptual, cognitive and logical aspects, concepts also have a non-cognitive and supra-conscious facet. In other words, concepts are alive and interrelated. Therefore, denying the dynamics of concepts in human sciences and considering them merely as a tool with a cognitive function for understanding the real world without considering their other aspects may prevent researchers of international relations from acquiring a thorough understanding of this field and the analysis of its dynamics. This is highlighted further when concepts such as immigration, borders, nation-states, nationality, and the identity of the European Union, all of which play a key role in this study, are focused on one or more important issues in international relations. These issues, in addition to their cognitive aspects, will also affect the other facets of this field of study such as policy-making and decision-making. To illustrate the importance of this, immigration and asylum seeking as major global issues and part of the new agenda in international relations have been considered as the subject matter for this thesis. This has created challenges in explaining, understanding and analyzing existing approaches and theories in international relations, so much, so that while this changing identity displays the explanatory/analytical limitations of existing theories, it also makes it inevitable to apply new theoretical and conceptual approaches to understanding and elucidating the changing nature of these issues and their outcome. Hence, this Research sets out the shaping of a kind of conceptualization in international relations as its theoretical objective.
