In the Islamic political system, the strategy of governmental verdicts works as a proper mechanism for managing the society based on new requirements in the framework of Islamic rules. As the designer of Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist (Wilayah al-Faqih) as a governance theory and as the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini, alongside dealing with the theoretical and jurisprudential aspects of governmental verdicts, adhered to such verdicts as tools for exiting dead-end situations. Due to failures in comprehending the logic of Imam Khomeini’ s thoughts in issuing governmental verdicts, some religious and political groups criticized his political viewpoint and behavior. In this line, this paper aims at disambiguating the nature and mechanism of deducting governmental rules from Imam Khomeini’ s viewpoint. To this end, using the qualitative approach and the descriptive-analytical research method, this paper is to answer a fundamental question: “ Based on Imam Khomeini’ s jurisprudential viewpoint, what is the nature and mechanism of issuing governmental verdicts in the procedure of Islamic governance? ” . The findings show that there are two types of governmental verdicts in Imam Khomeini’ s viewpoint, namely constant and variable. Thereupon, the authors propose mechanisms for categorizing every verdict in either of these two types. In Imam Khomeini’ s thinking, the legal fundamentals of deduction are constant. However, they vary through the time in accordance with public expediency. For those cases wherein there are skeptics between constant and variable verdicts, Imam Khomeini has explained the pragmatic principle requirements.

Creating a new way of resistance against the system of domination, the discourse of Islamic resistance that is a reproduction of the Iranians' culture of resistance against domestic despotism and global arrogance has made profound changes in the geopolitics of the Middle East and caused serious challenges for regional forces balance through threatening the interest of the West and Zionism in the region. It has practically turned into a powerful mechanism to fight arrogant politics in the region. Analyzing the theoretical foundations of the discourse was the main purpose of the present study. Other purposes of this study were to investigate the theoretical capacities of the discourse in realizing Islamic internationalism, provide an accurate analysis of Shia geopolitics, and investigate the role of the Islamic Republic of Iran in leading the Islamic resistance. According to Laclau and Mouffe's theoretical capacities and discourse analysis theory in analyzing the political concepts, this theory was selected as the theoretical framework and data analysis tool in this thesis. Based on the results, the discourse of Islamic resistance has the capacity to be hegemonic at the international level especially in West Asia and the Middle East, due to its various theoretical and practical capacities. It is expected to provide the grounds to form an Islamic internationalism and unified nation based on the principles of original Revolutionary Islam through developing the intellectual foundations and expanding the geographical area.

Access to a favorable environment is one of the goals of Iran's 1404 Vision Policy. What is meant by a favorable environment and how can the country move towards it? The purpose of this article is to provide a model for monitoring the environment of Iran and 25 countries subject to the document and monitoring their status in three periods: 2006, 2011 and 2016. First, the final model is extracted from the theoretical foundations and background based on the opinion of experts using a focused group interview, questionnaire, Delphi, coefficient of variation and average relative weight in the form of 7 indicators and 17 variables. Then, a composite index was created by using the TOPSIS technique. Finally, the state and performance of the environment of Iran and the countries subject to the document in general and in seven dimensions have been studied. The results show the inappropriate performance and environmental trend of Iran and countries in the region. However, in 2016, Iran was ranked seventh in the region and higher than its regional rivals (except Turkey). On the other hand, the intensity of the decline in the index in Iran was 1. 02, higher than the average and the main countries (except Saudi Arabia and Egypt). Iran's performance in four indicators, namely drinking water and sanitation; biodiversity, habitats, forests and pastures; climate and energy; and water resources, were worse than the important countries in the region. in two indicators, namely "Settlements" and "Agriculture", Iran performed better and the air quality indicator didn’ t have sufficient data to evaluate. Finally, with reference to critical areas, policy priorities are suggested.

Political parties have several functions, one of which is gaining political power. Creating a legal framework for the political participation of different individuals is the most important issue facing political actors, and in this context, the relationship between political parties and the electoral system is important.

Although the legal framework for the activities of political parties in Iran is available, they are still not efficient in the Iranian electoral system. The purpose of this study is to identify the harms to the efficiency of political parties in the Iranian electoral system and also to provide effective solutions to eliminate these harms. To achieve this goal, the Delphi method and Shannon technique have been used. In two stages, the researchers collected the views of 10 experts in the field of elections through interviews and questionnaires, and then the data obtained from the consensus of experts were analyzed using the Shannon technique. The findings showed that the most important damage that led to the inefficiency of political parties is in the category of "structural" damage, followed by "legal", "economic", "functional" and "cultural" damage.
