We witness different results in their development record! The current research, while comparing the governments of Iran and South Korea since the 1960s, will seek to answer this important question: What are the causes and factors of different experiences of development in rentier and development-oriented governments?

The present research is descriptive-analytical. As a result, fundamental changes in the path of growth and progress for any society must first originate from a correct strategy in all-round development along with an efficient, independent and meritocratic bureaucracy.
