This article is a new attempt to understand the fetishistic nature of state capitalism and the logic of its natural reproduction in Iranian society. The author's main argument is to study the specific forms in which capitalism (for example, state or national capitalism) emerges in any society, we should first seek to answer the fundamental question of how the development of a particular form of capitalism relates to the structural causalities (or structure of the "accumulation, hegemony, identity, and legitimacy") of dominant paradigm of power in that society, and to what extent it preserves and reproduces "existing paradigmatic order" or transforms it. With this argument, he considers the fetishistic tendency of dominate power elites to the state capitalism to be above all due to the inherent improvisation of the adaptation of this type of capitalism to the paradigmatic order. Then, the author considers the first and main roots of state capitalism not in the period after the establishment of the Islamic Republic paradigm of power (1978), but in the "political theology of the formation stage" (1944-62) and the "revolutionary rhetoric of the evolutionary stage" of this paradigm of power (1962-78). In addition, he indicates how these dual elements made the tendency towards state capitalism in the period after the establishment of the Islamic Republic, necessary and even inevitable. Finally, he argues that in the post-establishment period, due to the emergence of a kind of "revolutionary ethics and anti-capitalist spirit" on the one hand, and the "adaptation of state capitalism to the structure of hegemony, identity and legitimacy of the Islamic Republic paradigm of power" on the other hand, as well as the instrumental capability of state capitalism in strengthening "paradigmatic centralism", " idealizing the new order", "emergency mobilization" and to advance "a grand paradigmatic agenda", the state capitalism took on a fetishistic character. However, from the author's point of view, the core of state capitalism in Iran has had and will have its own inherent crises.

Discovering the relationship between the two essences of cognition the brain and mind are essential for understanding how humans make decisions. Of course, it is a difficult path related to analytical philosophy and cellular and molecular sciences. This article is trying to create a clear picture of these interdisciplinary relationships to understand better the policy maker's brain and mind in making the public policy agenda. The present study considers Kahenman's distinguishing human brain decisions into intuitive and logical systems. The allocation of 95% share to the intuitive system is a design bias and needs to be redefined and an optimal model based on interdisciplinary studies suggested in this article.  Scientific findings from different studies in the field of cognitive neuroscience confirmed that the decision process is influenced by determinants such as health and cellular efficiency of the decision maker's brain and their consciousness as well as the functionality of neurosensory receptors and their interconnectivity.  The decision can be formed under the influence of distorted external information from the environment or false internal information of the central nervous system and the resulting illusion. Receiving misinformation can be due to sensory receptors defect, brain injuries, pharmaceutical product or drug abuse. On the other hand, old age and brain damage can lead to diminished or heterogeneous brain neurons, dementia, and loss of identity memories. This type of brain tissue abnormality reduces the brain-mind decision-making capacity, causes cognitive biases, reduces the ability to make correct and timely decisions, or leads to abnormal decision-making. The scope of decision-making disorder can go beyond the individual sphere. In terms of the influence on the policymaker, social and national decisions and policies could be affected and as a result, causing misdirection of the ruling system and development in the country and the world. Testing this hypothesis will require conducting experimental cognitive neuroscience research on the target population of policymakers.

Objective of the paper is to study theoretical literature of platforms governance and presentation and subject categorization based on different approach to platform governance. In the paper, one used systematic review and thematic analysis as method for analysis of platforms policy literature. Therefore, the researcher searched all major scientific databases for related papers using some keywords; and for 2010-2020. In sum, one identified and analyzed 106 papers. Three main categories were identified regarding platform governance policies: Governance on Platforms, Governance in Platforms and Governance through Platforms. The Finding showed that self-governance is so far the main tool for governance of Platforms, but despite of complexity and rapid developments of techno-cultural features of Platforms, different government are able to establish some policies-for example, co governane-to govern platforms and recognition of global platforms.

IoT technology, which is interpreted as the Internet of Things, is an emerging technology that poses a number of challenges, including "accountability frameworks." The main question of the present study is that what legal policies need to be adopted to provide a legal framework in the field of "responsibility" of these tools? To answer the above question, this study uses documentary research and a comparative study between the rules governing the legal system of Iran and the European Union. These tools are the necessary policies to improve the monitoring of the performance of these tools and the policy of the performance of IoT tools and their controllers in relation to the rules of responsibility. To implement the policies announced above, the implementation of some policy recommendations such as creating public awareness, holding training courses for employees of companies, anticipating mechanisms to protect information owners, anticipating the mechanism for issuing digital signatures and amending laws can Be efficient.

Rationality should be considered as one of the central concepts in social sciences especially in the public policy. The importance of it as a reference point in the policy-making process has led to the formation of different theories around it. This article focuses on question, "How conceptual plurality of rationality in public policy formulated?"And through the method of Library Studies, we have attempted to investigate the literature of rationality in it. Although the scope of rationality debate has led to accumulation of good knowledge in it, it has brought a kind of conceptual confusion. We use Van de Van’s model to explore capacities for theoretical and practical solution."defining the logic of rationality placement", "using new terms in the field of rationality", "using the lived experiences of rational policy makers" and "moving towards producing operational indicators" as starting points for improving rationality in the national policy-making has been suggested.

The theory of public choice has a major role the literature review of public policy. This theory, based on the three main assumptions and main concepts of "methodological individualism", "economic man and his rational choice" and "politics as a subject of exchange", emphasizes the centrality of "self-interest" in politics and government. This theory introduces the active motivation of policymakers in the process of public policy in terms of the motivation of citizens and group representatives in the field of economics and markets, namely "self-interest". This paper, in the form of qualitative and developmental articles, aims to "research the motivation of the "self-interest" of public policy actors" in the context of public choice theory and With the "deductive reasoning method", introduces "the interest that public policy makers conceive for themselves, Affected by their own values, needs, and sentiments of doing or not doing something" as the motivation of their activity. This study, despite accepting many assumptions of the public choice theory, considers the "one-dimensional view" of man and "assumption of his rational choice" as the weaknesses of this theory and relates the rationality of choice to correctness of choice and correctness of choice to the interest of one's soul (not his physical dimension).

Businesses have a tremendous impact on the cultural life of individuals, depending on the type of activity they do, but their responsibility is not commensurate with the extent of the cultural impact they leave. The idea of corporate cultural responsibility provides an answer to this problem, and culture as a way of life is especially highlighted in it. The purpose of this study is to express the necessity, dimensions and pattern of cultural responsibility in urban policy making. The article is based on a reasoning and normative approach and using the method of policy analysis and data collection has been done by documentary study. Corporate cultural responsibility (CCR) in a narrow sense of culture, through supporting the dissemination of cultural services and products, and in a broader sense of culture, through respect and recognition of the way of life of the parties to economic activities, expanding intercultural relations and promoting dialogue International culture is done. At the macro level, international cultural dialogue is also the most important achievement of corporate cultural responsibility.

After half a century of the ineffectiveness of the ‘hydraulic mission’ approach in Iran's water resource management, policymakers are looking for ways to get out of the current situation by using people's capabilities. Despite participatory policy-making, the goal has not been achieved. While the "command and control" is dominant, albeit weak, mode of the country's water governance, the water crisis has intensified. In this article,  examine Iran’s policy of participatory water management and history of  the collapse of traditional water management, as well as analyze the latest guidelines of the water participatory policy using "normative practice theory”. after analyzing the content of the mentioned instruction, the existing rules were classified based on the classification of the NPM and the points of friction between these rules were determined. The results show that not only a few of the policies have mutually contradictory directions, but also that the structure of the participatory water management policy is not aligned with its goals. water management has multi-layered and complex dimensions, adding the regulation of a set of participatory policies as a rule to the macrostructure of the policies cannot lead to participatory management.

The existence of a dynamic and efficient accountability system is an undeniable necessity in achieving sustainable development. A system of growth and development is achieved through establishing and institutionalizing of a systematic relationship of accountability and accountability between citizens and the government. The purpose of accountability is Improving human performance and forcing them to behave, based on calculation and reasoning. Accountability is a guarantee for the people to ensure that the government makes optimal use of public resources, and in fact in the sense of a commitment to accountability. The notion that the government has decided and that the citizens simply obey has nothing but the downfall of the government. This study seeks the system of accountability in the Islamic Republic of Iran from the perspective of the critical realism theory to pathologize Iran according to the desired pattern in religious texts and to provide the necessary recommendations for the realization of an efficient and desirable accountability system.

The present research is performed with the goal of designing process of management of occupational procedure for knowledge based employees with descriptive- explorative approach. The statistical society of this research is university experts and scholars in the field of human resources management at Tehran municipality. The statistical society consists of 15 persons that was selected by targeted judgment. The tool for data collection is semi-structured interview and basic expert questionnaire and the validity of measurement tool by content method and reliability of interview with re-test method was confirmed.
