Ethnic policies can affect the various dimensions of security especially its social dimension which deals with identity issues. However, the ethnic policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the northwestern region (despite its special security conditions) has not been fully considered yet towards the Azeri people and, on the other hand, the impact of these policies on social security as one of the main dimensions of security, which has a direct relationship with identity and ethnic issues, has been underestimated;Hence, the researchers’ concern is firstly to examine the ethnic policy of the Islamic republic of iran in the northwestern region towards Azeri people and, secondly, to examine the impact of this policy on social security of the Islamic republic of iran. To answer the research question and its hypotheses, using a library and analytical-descriptive method, a questionnaire consisting of 27 items was developed.The statistical population of this study was 200 of the officials and social and security experts located in the Northwest region. Among which a number of 131 people of them were selected as the sample size, using the Cochran formula. After distributing and collecting questionnaires, responses were analyzed using SPSS software.The reliability of the questionnaire was determined as .75 using Cronbach’s alpha, which Indicates that the questionnaire has a high and acceptable relibility. Finally, after collecting and analyzing the information, it was determined that the policies adopted in the northwest region of the Islamic Republic of Iran toward the Azeri people is unity with a tendency towards pluralism and this policy has promoted social security

This study was conducted to determine the type and extent of relationship between personality type of managers and their job performance in a security intelligence organization. The main question of the study is; how is the relationship between the personality traits of the managers of the intelligence and security organization with their job performance? This is an applied study with the correlation approach. The statistical population of the study consisted of all managers of the intelligence-security organization studied in 1395. Which includes 48 people. (N = 48). Given the low number of statistical population, the total was determined as a statistical sample.Then, the standard questionnaire for the personality traits adopted from RISU and Hudson (2.5 edition) , which is based on the Ingram and consists of 36 items, wasdistributed among the statistical population of the study and the extracted data were tested through descriptive and inferential statistics.The results show that the effectiveness of the managers of the organization has positive and high correlations with the type one, three, five and eight,and with types four and seven, these correlations are negative and high, and with type two, six and nine, the correlation is negative and low. The correlation coefficients (Spearman) obtained are as follows: Type one (reformer and perfectionist): 0.836, type two (Rescuer, kind and affectionist): -0.500, type three (successful): 0.814, type four (Individual, Artistic, and Imaginary): 0.876, type five (Peace Factoring Research): 0/860, type six (loyal): 0.493, type seven (Fascinating, Optimistic): 0.862, type eight (Presidential, Leader, and Director): 0.912, type nine (Peacebuilder): 0.458

This study, considering the relationship between information and politics, seeks to answer the question, "What are the contexts and resources of the tension between information and policy makers?" To this end, the author first attempts to examine and specify the status of information in the context of policy. In this section, it is stated that information in its general sense is entirely in the service of the state and the political system and, in its most general sense, is a policy-dependent variable. Policies will organize, direct and monitor information and, if necessary, change the information. It then looks at the existing relationship between information and politics. In this regard, five approaches are recognized: the traditionalist approach (Kent), the complete separation and independence of information from politics; the pragmatist approach (Gates); the context of the information policy by participating in the policy process; the pendulum theory; the Permanent movement of information between the two traditionalist and pragmatist theories; spectrum theory (Bar-Joseph), the fourfold spectrum of approaches to information and politics from complete separation to complete integration; autocratic approach; digestion of information in politics. In the end, the areas of tension between information and policy makers are investigated based on field research in the framework of grounded theory, using deep interviewing tools as well as secondary sources. The results show that cultural differences between these two are the most important factors in creating tension in the relationship between information and politics. In addition, other areas of tension are identified and introduced

The issue of existential security has been a major concern for Saudi Arabia since the formation of this regime. And due to the high profile of the role of transnational identities and the lack of development and maturity of the national government in the region, using this issue as a pretext by any of the powerful powers of the region, in particular, Egypt, Iraq and Iran could create a serious challenge to the country’s existential identity. According to Stefan Walt’s threat balance theory, Saudi Arabia is geographically located with these three countries, which remains a permanent element. The three countries also have significant military capabilities to adopt an aggressive approach. Based on war indicators such as the powerful army and diverse and advanced military weapons, and also objective examples such as resorting to war such as the war between the two regional powers of Iraq and Iran, or Egypt’s multiple engagement in the war on Israel , have the potential to start a war. In terms of hostile intentions, these three countries, at different intervals and in different stages, explicitly or implicitly as viewed by Saudi leaders, have declared their hostile intentions against its government, especially as these ideals are revealed in the ideological context of Pan Arabism by Egypt and Iraq and pan Islamism by Islamic republic of Iran, the feeling of threat to the Saudi family became doubled. The main question of the current study is that; how these continuing security threats affect the security of the Saudi family. And it was hypothesized that the Saudi family uses the trick of security against oil through its alliance with the United States to maintain its security. As a result, the United States is committed to protecting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from any foreign threat. The research method in this study is explanatory and the data was collected using library and internet resources

Today, as an educational and cultural institution, the university plays an important role in the production of identity ideas. As a place of interaction and encounter with different ethnicities, the university is the place to confront and encounter various ethnic identities, in which, in this context, students' cultural alignments and conflicts create an aggravating condition for strengthening a national or ethnic identity among them.A glance at the history of student publications reminds us the fact that since the mid-1370s, many of these publications have been published in universities, and we have witnessed an ever-increasing growth of ethnic student publications in universities. Therefore, this study was conducted using content analysis metho,.with the aim of investigating the social threats of ethnicity (Turk, Kurdish and Arabic) in the student journals during the academic years of 1363 to 1394,at public universitie of Shahid Chamran Ahvaz, Kurdistan and Tabriz. Findings of the study indicated that the feeling of ethnic discrimination and national oppression, extreme effort to create ethnic solidarity and commitment, promote racial affiliation, cultural and historical coexistence with ethnicity abroad, emphasize and promote celebrations, rituals, thoughts,the ideals and myths of the people, the honor of membership in the ethnic community and the emphasis on the use of ethnic language in official ceremonies and the primacy of ethnic interests on national interests are among the most important issues emphasized by the students in the development of ethnicity issues in the student journals of the academic years of 1363 to 1394 at public universities of Shahid Chamran Ahvaz, Kurdistan and Tabriz
