GLOBALIZATION AND THE NATIONAL INTERESTS OF THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN
Mohammad Sotoodeh
The study of national interests and the strategies for ensuring it in the post-industrial and post-informational era requires a specific approach. In this new increasingly globalizing world the concept of national interests does not merely include the Westfally order within national boundaries, but governments have to bring into consideration the operational environment and the variables of globalization, as well. In the present circumstances, the know-how to ensure the national interests of Iran to a great extent requires underestanding the process of globalization and purposeful interacting with international relations actors. The dialogue of civilizations and dإtente policy can strengthen Iran's national and regional power and provide the ground for benefiting from international opportunities. DECISION MAKING IN IRAN'S FOREIGN POLICY:
A HEURISTIC APPROACH
Abbas Maleki
Translated to Persian by Aboozar Gowhari-Moghaddam
The Islamic Republic of Iran has recently constructed a uniqe administrative apparatus that blends parallel line of delibration from both its religious hierarchy and its parliamentary democracy. For foreign policy and international relations, the decision making process brings to bear the most important adminstrative bodies of both the government and the religious hierararchy. These different bodies help to comprise a system of checks and balances for some of the more pivotal levels in the deliberatvie process, i.e. the Foregin Ministry, the High Council for National Security )HCNS(, the Presidency, and the Supreme Leader. We also see individual decision makers as agent-centered factionalism, which is an informal, though important part of the process.

THE STRUCTURALOGY OF THE RELIGIOUS
THOUGHT IN CONTEMPORARY IRAN: WITH AN
EMPHASIS ON INTELLECTUAL APPROACHES
Jalal Derakhsheh

THE ROLE OF THE ISlAMIC REVOLUTION OF IRAN IN THE FORMATION AND CONTINUATION OF THE PERSIAN GULF COOPERATION COUNCIL
Naghi Tabari
The Persian Gulf Cooperation Council's coming into existence in February ١٨٩١ was not the natural result of the attempts of the six countries, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Oman to maintain their collective security, but it was the result of the outstanding changes in late ٠٧s especialhy the Islamic Republic of Iran which had reformative goals in mind. The present paper, resorts to the existing hypotheses about the formation and continuation of the Council to have a brief look at the accomplishments of the Council during the imposed war on Iran and its political support of the UAE's claim alout the three Islands. Obviously, the removal of the existing misunderestandings can strengthen the mutual trust and the development of Iran's relationship to the Council, which consequently leads to the weakening of the presence of foreign military forces in the region.
A SURVEY OF THE CONTEMPORARY ISLAMIC THOUGHT
Zakki Milad
Translated to Persian by Muhammad-Jom'eh Amini
After the collapse of the communist system, Islam is an alternative cultural and civilizational choice for modern man. Those who were disappointed by the Eastern system of thought and the Western liberalism, seek for happiness in Islam. Now, the increasing conversion to Islam is seen as a danger by the West. In addition, even some Western people are trying to replace Communism by Islam as the enemy of the West. All these make Islamists to pay serious attention to Islam, Islamic thought, and Islamic movements, and to provide the modern man who is thirsty for Islamic teachings with appropriate solutions.
In chapter two of his book, Zakki Milad studies the development of the comtemporary Islamic thought carefully, dealing with its charactristics, necessities, and chalanges.
POLITICAL PARTICIPATION PATTERN IN THE THEORIES OF WELLAYAT-E FAQIH
Sharif Lakzaee
If we consider political participation generally as the involvement of individuals in activities in the political system at different levels, with respect to the elective theory of Wellayat-e Faqih and the appointive theory of Wellayat-e Faqih the relationship between the individual and the state will be agentitive with respect to some in dexes. The political participation indexes discussed in this paper are the right to choose and to be chosen, the right to protest, to supervise, and to criticize.

THE SUPREMACY OF RELIGION OVER POLITICS
Nasrollah Hossainzadeh
The present paper is to explain the theory of "the supremacy of religion over politics "from Mahdi Bazargan's viewpoint. He blieves that religion is dominant over politics and that the main objective of religion is "the other world and God", political issues being secondary and related to this world. Thus, reason necessitates to treat this world according to the principle of montheism and the final target of religion. According to Bazargan's viewpoint, religion has general supremacy over politics and directs it but does not enter into its details.
THE PATHOLOGY OF THE IRANIAN ISLAMIC
REVOLUTION FROM IMAM KHOMAINI'S VIEWPOINT
Karim Khan-Mohammadi
According to Imam Khomaini, the cause, the nature, and the pathology of the Islamic Revolution are three integrated concepts. The same demands leading to the collapse of the Pahlavi regime form the nature of the Islamic Revolution and a return to the unfavourable past is considered as the pathology of the Islamic Republic system. Thus, speaking of the pathology of the Revolution is impossible without studying the process of the overcoming of the Islamic Revolution. This paper is to study the Islamic Revolution movement according to Imam Komaini's viewpoint and in terms of Allen Thorn's theory.
THE ISLAMIC REVOLUTION, AND SOCIAL GAPS
Ali-Asghar Davoodi
The present research is a study of the social gaps leading to the Islamic Revolution and the impact of the Islamic Revolution on the social gaps, specifically ethno-religious, class, value, gender, and generation gaps during the last two decades.
Here, it is claimed that the Revolution, on the one hand, strengthened the process of social and ideological integration and prevented critical political instabilities, and on the other hand, resulted in the emergence of some social gaps.
The existing socio-political gaps and their underlying charactristics are still likely to cause tense conflicts and instabilities. Therefore, if social, economic, political, and cultural solidarity is neglected, tense conflicts are probable to arise out of these gaps.

THE PROCESS OF THE FORMATION AND
COLLAPSE OF SOCIAL SOLIDARITY
AND CONGRUENCE
Mahdi Baratalipoor
On the basis of a brief comparison of theories such as )Durkheim's( proportional structuralism, )Darendorff's( contrastive structuralism, and )Habermas's( dialogical-concessive structuralism, the writer presents a discussion over issues such as the foundation of social solidarity and order, social crises, the causes of development, the pace of social changes, the process of development, the solutions of social crises and the foundations of political obedience. In this way, analysing the role of domestic actors in changing the apparently unflexible social formations of modern societies and in forming universal moralities seems to be crucially important. Finally, Islamic political thought )with an emphasis on Imam Khomeini's ideas( under the title of Selectional Transcendental School will be briefly discussed and some necessary parts will be presented.
THE SHIITE CLERGY'S POWER RESOURCES IN IRAN
Ayat Ghanbari
Adopting direct power attainment strategy through religion by the Iranian Shiite clergies after the Islamic Revolution resulted in fundamental changes in Iran. The present paper tries to answer the question why among the different Iranian social groups only the clergies could attain the government with reference to their power resources. To do so, after the presentation of a brief history of the clergies and their relationship to the contemporary Iranian goverment, the following characteristics are considered as the power resources of the clergies: their idiology, school of thought, and organization; the Wellayat-e Faqih institution; their scientific, moral and economic indipendence; ulama's charismatic personality; popularity, Saviorism )belief in Imam Mahdi as the Savior(, the authority of the Quran and traditions and their hermeneutic potentiality, Ijtihad, and the Karbala paradigm.
