In answer to the question of what factors and contexts cause people to incline to terrorist groups, five approaches including psychological, social, economic, cultural, and political can be identified in the existing literature that each of them provides part of the answer. In this article, first, different views and theories are examined and criticized in the form of the five approaches. Then, a framework for a comprehensive and more accurate understanding and analysis of the factors and contexts of the tendency towards terrorist groups is provided. The authors believe that for comprehensively and accurately identify of the factors and contexts of individuals' inclination towards terrorist groups, an integrated-comparative approach should be used and a framework based on interdisciplinary view and integration of all approaches should be considered. Accordingly, an alternative analytical framework based on the link between these approaches is presented at three levels: individual, national and transnational.

In this study, the authors by studying 50 ISI articles from 2010 to 2020 and 50 domestic scientific-research articles from 1388 to 1398 (Shamsi Hijri calendar), have tried to use the meta-synthesis Method to extract the causes of corruption (Driving Forces of Corruption) And the restraint factors of corruption (Reversing Forces of Corruption). Then, Driving and Reversing Forces of Corruption were categorized based on the highest frequency of repetition. Finally, the model of corruption and its Driving and Reversing Forces have been designed and presented using the Meta-synthesis Method.

The purpose of this study is to answer the question that theoretically and according to the experience of contemporary Iranian history, what is the relationship between the Center-oriented Patterns and regional development. The hypothesis of the article is that the development and non-interactive construction of the center and the lack of a role for periphery in the process have led to the emergence of a pattern of unbalanced national development. The most important consequence of this has been the formation of a "center-periphery" position in political and economic relations in Iran. From a methodological point of view, the author has used the method of "deductive theoretical explanation" and research strategy "retrospective" to analyze the causal mechanisms affecting the dependent variable. Also, the approach of the article to explain the relationship between the two variables "Center-oriented Patterns" and "regional development" in Iran is historical sociology. Accordingly, the first part of the article examines the conceptual and theoretical foundations of "Center-oriented Pattern", "region" and "center-periphery" theory. The second part analyzes the effective components, historical and sociological trends of how the construction of the center or modern government in Iran evolved.

The purpose of this study is the pathology of conversion in Khuzestan province. The research method is qualitative analysis with inductive strategy. University and Howzeh professors, cultural experts in Khuzestan province and individuals are subject to cultural identity change are Statistical population. Using intentional and judgmental sampling method, 25 members of the statistical population were selected as the sample size of the study. Data collection is free (in-depth) interview. Excerpts from interviews were analyzed using MAXQDA2018 software. Finally, 9 main categories and 39 sub-categories were identified from the analysis of the findings. The most important causes of the occurrence and prevalence of this emerging phenomenon are the underlying factors (Such as unemployment, poverty, poor transmission of religious teachings, rural-urban migration, marginal growth), Structural factors (such as weakness and inefficiency of cultural management models and quality of performance of influential institutions) and intervening factors (such as the role and influence of dissidents including foreigners and opposing currents in creating and fueling this phenomenon). The possibility of exploiting and abusing of the people who are inclined to Wahhabism in Khuzestan by separatist, takfiri and terrorist counter-revolutionary currents (like ISIL) In persecuting and subversive acts, will be one of the most important threats.

Since the mid-20th century, protecting cultural heritage has become one of the most important concerns of the international community. The "World Heritage List" established under the UNESCO 1972 Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage is one of the most effective protective mechanism for the Cultural Heritage. Despite the numerous non-financial and financial benefits such as immunity including the prohibition of being targeted during armed hostilities and the financial support provided by these organizations especially the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has various consequences on states sovereignty and responsibilities. An analytical study of International instruments, treaties as well as state practice shows that inscription of cultural heritage in the World Heritage List has narrowed several aspects of the territorial sovereignty of states and that a breach of International obligations of protection and preservation of world cultural heritage arising there from would result in state responsibility.
