Along with the establishment of newspaper, the issue of establishing new schools was one of the most crucial educational-cultural concerns of the Iran modernization, before the Constitutional Revolution. The latter was a response to inefficiency of traditional education for Iran to enter the modern world. This is why this issue was considered in the newspapers of that time as a serious issue. Among the newspapers concerned the issue was Hekmat newspaper. So, the research question is that «which goals were pursued by Hekmat newspaper, through supposition of establishing new schools necessity?» According to the author, with an incomplete and one-sided understanding of the modernity foundations, and without an accurate understanding of the effects of the efficient objective conditions (economic, social and political) in education development in the West, the newspaper assumed that Establishing New Schools Movement would provide the country with advancement platforms. To understand the supposition ofHekmat newspaper›s approach, the Skinner›s Intentional Hermeneuticsmethod will be used.

International Relations as an academic discipline, originating from the West, has been influenced by Western traditions of thought and this has led to its Eurocentric nature reproduced through specific closures and strict standards of theorizing. Since the last part of the twentieth century, however, this has been challenged. The emergence of reflectivist theories with their broad definition of theory, the expansion of international agenda due to significance of new international issues, and the agency of non-Western international actors have somehow broken the meta-theoretical and theoretical boundaries of IR. The result has been pluralism and the coexistence of approaches and theories. The main argument of this article is that this pluralism paves the way for non-Western IR scholars to produce their own theories and narrative of international relations.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of a failed state on the new war in the Middle East. The main question is that how failed state has caused spread new wars in the Middle East? The hypothesis is that the existence of numerous failed states makes the Middle East a failed zone. As a result, new wars spread from one country to other countries in the region. Therefore, the continuation of failed states is equal with continuation and spread increasing violence in the Middle East.

Any political unit for keeping its existence, needs the regional integration among its components. The Middle East is a specific geopolitical region. In view of its particular geopolitical and geostrategic significance in the world and the Middle East, the Islamic Republic of Iran has identified one of its foreign policy goals as a platform for integration in the countries of the region, and some strategies have been developed to achieve this goal. But the process of events has gone so far that it has led to many challenges, and as a result, these strategies have not made much integration. The main goal of this research is to collect and use appropriate library data and then to describe and analyze them, as well as to utilize functionalism and neo-functionalism, and in this way, the strategies of the Islamic Republic of Iran to shape integration in the Middle East region will be evaluated. It is also necessary to identify and assess the challenges and obstacles that exist to achieve this goal. According to the above goal, the question of this research is: «What are the Islamic Republic of Iran›s strategies to shape integration in the Middle East, and what are the challenges and obstacles to achieving this goal?» The research hypothesis is also drafted: «The Islamic Republic of Iran, inspired by the constitution and the mission of the Islamic Revolution, used strategies to shape integration in the Middle East in its foreign policy, which, due to differences of opinion with most of the countries of the region, particularly in the Arab Persian Gulf states in various economic, political, ideological and security spheres, this effort has faced challenges and obstacles. «The findings of this study show that Iran›s efforts to align and integration in the Middle East are only acceptable for some of the region›s actors, known as the «Islamic axis of resistance,» but most of the states in the region that are on the opposite side and known as the «conservative axis» are opposed to these efforts.
