The purpose of this article is to explain the structural-process logic of the formation of periodical collective protests during the four decades of the Islamic Republic of Iran.The main question of the current research is that in the framework of the field of confrontation, widespread popular protests in the era of the Islamic Republic originated from what structural-confrontational reasons.And also the question that the process of its formation since the establishment of the Islamic Republic until now, what changes has it experienced in the goals and political forces and the field of confrontation of its multiple forces.The research method used is also the historical narrative aimed at the construction of Weber's ideal type.That is, by applying and confronting the theoretical framework and experimental data in the form of a field, the historical configuration is reconstructed in order to draw out the forces and tendencies of this figure in each period.The method of gathering information is also the study of book documents, observation of radio and television archives, interviews with experts in political sociology.The findings of the research indicate that periodical protests are structurally rooted in the quality of the relationship and the confrontation of multiple elements (dual structure of power, the logic of economic digestion and the logic of popular appeal-protest) in a historical moment.These protests show a kind of continuous and repetitive process with the logic of random encounters and at the same time profound.

Cultural policy means cultural policies, measures and solutions to support and develop cultural activities and various factors influence it. One of the most important factors is globalization and its consequences, which affects all dimensions of societies under the influence of changes in their global environment. One of the important aspects of globalization is the cultural dimension, which, with the joint production of products and following that, joint cultural consumption, on the one hand, presents many choices to consumers, and on the other hand, this continuous convergence of cultures. It leads to the wear and tear of national and local cultures. Therefore, countries show different reactions in the form of cultural policies, which in one category can include prevention, resistance and development discourse. For a country like Iran, which is in a situation of taking a stand with the capitalist system and power, it is very important to show the type of reaction it has in front of the dominant global culture that emerges in cultural politics. Therefore, in this study, we seek to investigate the impact of globalization challenges on cultural policy and its governing model with the method of qualitative content analysis of upstream documents. The results show that despite paying attention to Iranian-Islamic culture and identity and the need to revive them (preventive approach) and also the issues of endogeneity and externalization of the production and consumption of cultural products (resistance approach) in upstream documents, politics Development types are more than other types.

The Middle East region, with its special geopolitical position, has always been important for the great powers, and the countries of this region have also continuously provided the cradle of important regional crises and conflicts. Syria, as a Middle East actor and a special strategic position that is considered a sensitive point in the connection of the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, with a special internal situation, including ethnic, racial and religious diversity, makes this country prone to crises. ethnic, religious and racial, and the smallest political instability in this country will end in a huge crisis.This research, using the analytical descriptive method, seeks to answer the question, what were the foundations of the crisis in Syria? In response to this question, the hypothesis has been investigated that the different distribution of political power and economic resources in the minority and majority sectors. Syrian society has caused a conflict which is analyzed based on the theoretical framework of relative deprivation.

Finally, with the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran and the formation of the Islamic government, for the first time in the world, Shiites gained power and government. This surprised the world and turned the eyes of researchers in the field of culture, civilization and politics to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Iran's sensitive role in the region in recent decades, as well as the emergence of the Shiite alliance centered on Iran, has led to a significant increase in Iran's power in the region, and this has provided the basis for America and the West to consider the Islamic Republic of Iran as the biggest threat. They have taken into account and in order to deal with Iran's influence, they have used numerous threats with the cooperation of their allied countries. Descriptive-analytical method is used in this article. Based on the findings of the research, America and the West are trying to stop the progress and influence of Iran in the region and the extra region by creating combined threats so that they can achieve their geopolitical goals in the geopolitical regions of the world, especially the regions (West Asia, Caucasus, Central Asia and East Asia). On the other hand, the economic threats of the United States and the West have caused the financial and non-financial assets of the Islamic Republic of Iran to be blocked in other countries,

The effect of changing the strategy of the dominant hegemon in the West Asian region and changing the rules and the playing field is an important and influential issue on Iran's security-political environment. The main question of this research is what is the strategy of the United States in the period of Biden in the West Asian region and what effect does it have on Iran's national security? It seems that Biden's strategy towards Iran has changed from direct balancing to Offshore balancing. This strategy will also create opportunities such as Iran's greater freedom of action and leaving the country's hands free in the axis under its influence, and threats such as Iran's further isolation in its area of influence due to the unification of the Arab countries in the region with Israel (Ibrahim Peace Program). Handing over the West Asian region to regional allies and qualitatively monitoring it and prioritizing the fight against Iran's nuclear program is the most important strategy of the Biden government in the region. The current research was carried out with a descriptive-analytical approach and the method of data collection was library and using reliable internet sources.

In the second decade of the 21st century, the region of West Asia has faced new developments and dynamics. The emergence of Islamic awakening in this region has promised the formation of new order which has noticeable differences with the established order, and new actors have played a role in its formation.  The present research has been done in-order-to identify and explain the driver-forces effective on the formation of the new power geometry of the West Asian region in the transition from the post-Westphalian order. Methodology consists of a mixed approach with an exploratory approach and its statistical population purposefully includes (27) experts and experts in the field of national security and international relations in the universities of the armed forces. Data collection was done using the library sources and holding expert panels and using brainstorming technique. The result of brainstorming sessions was the extraction of (23) driver-forces, which were used to verify the accuracy of driver-forces using SPSS software tests including single-sample t-Kendall's coefficient of agreement, and Cronbach's alpha. In the following, by using Micmac futures-Studies research software and by applying the analysis of the effect of the mutual matrix, the most effective driver forces in the subject area of the research were identified and calculated, which include the revival of the Silk Road in both land and sea areas, The formation of the Arab, Western and Hebrew triangle in the region of West Asia and role-playing of the axis of resistance in dealing with Takfiri terrorist groups.
