They instead emphasize on fluidity of identity, remark to paraphrasing rather than explanation and instruction, no distinguishing meaningly between self/other and impossibility of meaning utility and clarity of pose and importance of power and matter- its position in interactional discourses. This written additional to mentioned censures criticize modern constructivism as follows: despite importance of identity I understanding behavior, finding the changes in identity from surveying the changes of behavior is impossible .

One of the significant issues in IR is that of inter – state conflict and cooperation. Various schools such as Realism and liberalism have endeavored to theoretically explain it. In so doing, this article seeks to outline the views offered by a constructivist thinker, Alexander Wendt. He treats IR as a socially constructed discipline. This article argues that although Wendt has managed to advance a social theory of cooperation and conflict among states, especially about ethnic conflict, his theory has failed to explain cooperative as well as conflictual relationships among states properly.

Having in mind that IR theories include FPA aspect, the main purpose of this paper is to examine the contribution of FPA in these theories. The necessity of this study become clearer when one acknowledges that FP makers should pay attention accurately to relationship between theory and practice in order to make successful rational decision in new complicated world. This enables them not only to have theoretical knowledge in FPA, but also extract some useful practical and policy – oriented prescriptions. In this article, through three sections, IR classic theories including Liberalism and Realism, micro, macro and middle – ground FP approaches and constructive IR theories are examined respectively. Finally the article concludes that IR theories are mutually constitutive and complementary, which means FP makers must avoid reductively relying on one of these theories.

In the evolution of human knowledge in the humanities studies arena, subjects like political thought was based on less critical tendencies and was copied and affected by translations of humanities. So, their intellectual, Political and Social foundations are not very strong.

How ever, the Production of knowledge and the importance of creating theories, are the Strategic aim of the political system and because of its necessity in the Islamic Society, some elites study in this field. But in spite of appropriate conditions, requirements and changes at the level of social demand, proposing following essential question is welcomed by elites and intellectuals:Why intellectual stagnation and evolution of thought in contemporary Iran prevent creative and up to date confronting with the concepts and discussions in "political thought?"

Democray is the most importantn element in Dewey’s thought. In this paper Dewey’s theory on democray will be evaluated, furthermor some challenges are ascrbed to it: first, Dewey has not presented any philosophical argument about his idea: “Democracy is a moral ideal”. Second: if  it is known by a posteriori method that Democracy is the best, this idea can not be generalized to future, so it could be critized and we can assume other methods or systems. Third: because of the imposibilty of the assuming of similar conditions for all peple, the capacity of doing rational judgment will not similar in spite of constituting democracy. Forth: Dewey has neglected of irrational elements in members of society devisions in his theory. Finally, since he denies that we can know the absolute, the attempt to establish the morally organized democratic society is so vaguely pictured by him, without necessary rational foundation.
