Issues such as: Identity, energy and water resources are considered to be competing for resources. Strategic theorists emphasize that in the years following the Cold War, the ground for new competitions in regional and international relations emerged. The Ukraine crisis, the Syrian and Iraqi security crises are among the disputes over resources. To the extent that capacity building is provided to increase exports of economic goods, there are also manifestations of multilateral cooperation in the regional and international arena. Mutual needs of Iran and Saudi Arabia for oil revenues should be considered as factors contributing to the expansion of cooperation between the two countries. The coordination of Iran-Saudi relations in the field of resource diplomacy is part of the neoliberal approach to linking strategic and economic issues. This article attempts to use the neoliberal approach to optimize the pattern of Iran-Saudi relations. Neoliberals believe that economic cooperation makes it possible to develop relationships in strategic areas. Given this approach of coordinating economic policy between Iran and Saudi Arabia, it makes it possible to optimize strategic relations.

This theory is part of the dimensions of Russia's national identity. Eurasianists believe that the main issue facing Russian nationality is that it is European that Russian identity has become westernized. From the perspective of this theory, Russia is looking for an alternative path to become an independent polarity in the international system. Therefore, in the Islamic world, it chooses the Islamic Republic of Iran and identifies Iran as one of the opposing forces of the unipolar world of the United States of America. It wants to lead the field of Islamic countries. Therefore, Iran is Moscow's closest partner. In this regard, the main research question is what effect did Russian Eurasianism have had on the relationship between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Russia from 2000 to 2015.

In Egypt, the first elected government was overthrown by a military coup, and the military regained full power. After three years, the military is still a major player in Egyptian developments. In Turkey, despite various internal and regional problems faced by the Erdogan government, the coup did not succeed and was defeated by the resistance of civil society. The present study seeks to explore the political and social contexts of the above-mentioned coups using theories of military intervention in politics and explain the theoretical results of the coups in Egypt and Turkey. In this regard, the main question of the research is: What factors have led to the success of the coup in Egypt and its failure in Turkey? To answer the above question, comparative explanatory method is used and the data collection method is library. The findings indicate that the different outcomes of the military coups in Egypt and Turkey can be explained by the different status of the components of the level of political institutionalization, the integration of the armed forces and the response of civil society in these two countries.

India's high economic growth in recent years has made it a successful model for economic development. Many observers believe that its pragmatic foreign policy has played an important role in facilitating its economic growth. The use of a balancing strategy against Iran and the US as two regional and international competitors is one example of this pragmatic approach to India. Accordingly, in the present study, using an explanatory-analytical approach, we seek to answer the question, "How has India managed to define its national interest in a constructive engagement with both sides of the conflict, despite the widespread Iran-US differences since September 11, 2001?" The proposed hypothesis for the question is that "in the last decade India has tried to use the balances between Iran and the US for its own interests in a balanced strategy and thereby maintain good interaction with both countries."

Zionist ghettoes in the 18th and 19th centuries had a significant incentive to organize dispersed Jewish groups in various countries. The literature of such a collection is organized on the basis of Talmudic approaches. As such, security can be seen as the core of the strategic thinking of Zionist groups in Israel and elsewhere in the world. With regard to the semiotics of security thinking in Israel, the main question of the paper can be explained in this connection: "What is the basis of the ontological signs of Israeli security thinking and what is its function?" The article hypothesis emphasizes that: " In this article, the garrison government is measured as an independent variable, while the ghetto security ontology can be seen as a dependent variable. The theoretical framework of the paper is based on a combination of the constructivist approach and the critical school. Such approaches emphasize the role of identity components. On the other hand, it can be argued that the constructivist approach, rather than having epistemological cues, is formed on the basis of ontological and ontological indicators. The main reason for using the constructivist approach can be to link identity indices and perceptions to Israeli security policy.

It should be noted that in an international law system based on profit-oriented positivism and political realism, nothing can replace game theory. Legal diplomacy is the same necessity of applying international law and reasoning in the negotiation arena that has been the focus of Iranian nuclear negotiators. In legal diplomacy, negotiators should pursue their goals and interests by using lawsuits against their counterparts based on existing international law principles as well as principles that the claimant considers to be legal principles.

The study of the interaction of economics and politics in Scandinavian countries with a welfare state structure is of particular importance. Variables such as political culture and social relations and norms also naturally become of particular importance. The present article therefore seeks to answer the main question of the impact of socio-cultural factors on the political economy of the Scandinavian countries (focusing on both Sweden and Norway). In answering this question, the authors conclude that the political culture supporting the welfare state continues to exist effectively due to some cultural features in Scandinavian societies following the decline of the welfare state in Western Europe. Accordingly, the component of political culture has been instrumental in sustaining the welfare state in Scandinavia, due to its historical efficacy.

But what has happened in the last two or three decades is more important than simply being the result of the dynamics of capitalist mode of production. While any description or theorizing about these processes in a context apart from the capitalist context and ignoring capitalist social relations will not give a proper explanation. By considering and applying these facts, Manuel Castells seems to have been able to provide a good description and explanation of the technological changes of the contemporary world and its effects on society, economics, culture, politics, and the institution of the nation-state. His fundamental hypothesis is that informationism, as a dominant paradigm in today's societies, has led to a new morphology and social structure, resulting in a new society: network society. According to Castells in contemporary society and the world, the presence of networks can be seen everywhere. While introducing two fundamental concepts of society and network globalization in Castells' thoughts, this paper attempts to examine the politicized dimensions of his analysis of society and network globalization.

But others will gain a sense of security by withdrawing their conscience from others. Accordingly, the author's psychological analysis of intergovernmental relations (such as how individuals interact) is that world governments can also be grouped into four groups: domineering (such as the Gulf states), domineering (such as the US), isolating ( It is classified as Scandinavian) and independent (such as Iran) but this classification is not invariant as governments behave as individuals affected by various factors.
