Constitutional’s command is the first of official text in modern Iran that defines the relation between government and nation. This command caused changing the foundation’s relation between government and nation and started a new era in Iranian’ life and their political trends. Shah issued three commands. The First and the second ones didn’t accept by oppositions but the third command accepted by oppositions. The sanctuary in England’s embassy and emigration’s ulema to Qume come to end. Therefore the question is why did shah issue three commands? Why did these commands bring about disputes between government and oppositions? This article attempted to analyze these commands and studies relation between government and nation. It concludes that the main cause of dispute between government and oppositions was determining nation’s position. These commands recognize the Iranian’s rights for participating in political power for the first time.

Current situation and positions of the rural community can be the result of functional relationships and operation of the local community in relation to external factors as the state and city, which led to the transformation of the social, economic and production systems in the rural community. In this process of transformation, the traditional villages, from a closed, self-sufficient, self-managed and resilient society, based on the production and value of work, cooperative and participatory institutions and local community; has been changed to nontraditional community, which is dependent on consumption, vulnerable, based on individualism, money value and the official institutions. The idea of this paper is to review the changing process of traditional to quasi modern society and the necessity of reforming the path towards ecological sustainability of the society. This process has been investigated within the framework of the relationship between the state and the nation in terms of the concepts of local governance, sovereignty and good governance. In our view, the functional and practical currency in relation to the government is transition of local authority to rule the state. To change the situation and create a desirable society we should move towards good governance. The theoretical basis of this discussion is the idea of good governance and social and ecological views for the creation of ecologically sustainable society. The research method in this article is process review and description and analysis based on ideas, theories and practical experiences.

Society is classified into two groups, the political elites who govern the people and non-political people who are governed. The relationship between these groups has been always one of the perpetual and the everlasting question in political philosophy and political sciences. The subject of political sociology is the current relation of people and governors, and the subject of political philosophy is the appropriate relation of them. Although in some periods of the history some ethical elites came to power and struggled to organize those relations, in conflicts of bitter objective limited facts, rough facts could overcome ethical norms, so it put an end to the honeymoon of the temporary relation of the governors and the people. A suitable relation between the governors and people could make to get knowledge about people’s situation, their shortage or satisfaction (getting their insight), also it could make to understand the feeling and emotion, calling or curse, and pain or joy of them (getting their attitude). These two prerequisites bring about rational and appropriate behavior of the politicians toward Ra’iyyat (whom the government is responsible for).
In this article, we try to study the relations of people and rulers, then with pathology, present some suitable solutions. The method of gathering data is library research, and the method of analysis is qualitative and interpretive content analysis.

Social policy, along with the provision of welfare and the realization of social justice, acts like “social cement” and can be highlighted as an important tool to create a bond between the state and the nation. Social policy has been experienced in a wide range of political systems, from totalitarian to democratic ones, and is by no means limited to welfare states. Working on the assumption that the development of social policy as part of the tasks of the political system for the creation of distributive justice and procedural justice along with the character of accountability and efficiency can be considered as one of the tools of the driving state-nation-building: has social policy in Iran have the driving force for building a nation-state? Using the qualitative method and the comparative analysis of secondary data, the problematization of social policy in Iran, both in the theoretical and applied discourses, is highlighted. Theoretical analysis shows that, in a situation where the state is responsible for providing social and welfare services for the fulfillment of social citizenship, the presence of a social policy which is “abandoned” and “everyday” and suffers from “imbalance and non-coordination” will compromise the efficiency of the political system in carrying out its duties and pose a potential challenge to the legitimacy of the political system. A condition in which any reduction in the provision of social services, has led to the widening of the gap between the state and the nation and impeded the process of nation- state building in Iran.

Women are one of the most important social forces and interconnected nature of the political and social has made them to engage in politics. In Iran, after the Islamic Revolution, different states have made efforts to solve women's socio-cultural problems. This article seeks to examine the social status of women in employment and unemployment, taking governmental administrative position, education, and being head of households from the fifth to the eleventh states in the Islamic Republic of Iran. To achieve this goal, secondary analysis was used and the following results were obtained: The presence of women in governmental administrative position has a rising trend in two decades, but in the basic and middle levels of management. The employment status of women in the 70's was relatively better than the 80's and the unemployment rate for women has been increasing since the 80's. On the other hand the employment and education of women did not rise harmoniously. Education and employment of women was better in the second term of President Khatami and the first term of President Ahmadinejad compared to the periods before and after. Prior to this period, the rate of employment passed education rate, but in the second term of Ahmadinejad until Rouhani's state this has reversed and education has passed employment. In the field of household, the percentage of female-headed households has raised from 7.5 percent in the first state of Hashemi Rafsanjani to 12.9 percent in the administration of Rouhani. During this period the identity of the female-headed households has changed in a way that single and divorced women mainly comprise female-headed households.
