A Study of the Role of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Regional and Transregional Security

The main aim of this research is to study the role played by the Islamic Republic of Iran in regional and transregional security. This research seeks to identify the major factors that affect how the Islamic Republic of Iran adopts policies regarding the regional and transregional security. So, this research uses Barry Buzan’s theory of regional security in order to document and better understand the subjects addressed in Iran’s security policy. His theory states that pro-Called war is not merely limited to military domain, but also covers a more extensive use of it which includes economic, social and environment dimensions together with its military dimension. This research addresses the security policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in two areas- both regional and transregional- in the Middle East, where Iran’s priorities in relation to security affairs are studied and analyzed on a case study basis.
