Iran's free trade-industrial zones have been established for economic growth and development. However, despite the growth in the number and development of these areas, they have become regional employment through the commercial gate of goods. Despite the potential and capacities of Chabahar port, its performance is weak. Since production and export services are the main services of Chabahar Free Zone Organization, they have been directed towards earning money through land sales and imports of goods. In this research, production and export services are analyzed using methodology of SSM in Chabahar Free Zone, then the situation of experts is analyzed from the perspective of experts and the organizations involved are identified. In the following, the situation of the communication network between these organizations is analyzed with SNA. Finally, with the results of this analysis, policy recommendations for the development of the free zone organization's production& export service system are presented.

Structural facts indicate that a considerable part of Iran’s economic and social challenges have arisen out of the institutionalization of social rules and formulation of a specific pattern of production, distribution and competition equation in the Iranian economic policy. The paper’s hypothesis emphasizes that “the institutional economic policy can play an effective role in controlling Iran’s economic and social challenges.” For the purpose of conducting this study, the institutional development approach and Evans’ theory were drawn on to delineate the role of a developmental state. The data analysis and content analysis methodology was used to prepare this article.

Public participation in science as one of the dimensions of science democracy in society can provide a constructive context for public view, and this will be realized when science and technology are considered a public issue and incorporated into the context of daily life of citizens. In this regard, by developing appropriate policies, citizens can engage in more attractive ways, including solutions based on social innovation in science and technology, and through broad and inclusive discussions of different groups of people, public oversight and participation. In science. Despite the fact that in the last two decades, the emphasis on formulating policy and planning for the development of science and technology in Iran can be clearly seen in the country's upstream documents, but less comprehensive research has been done to critique upstream science and technology documents in terms of social participation in science and technology. In this regard, the production of innovative ideas based on social innovation to achieve social participation in the comprehensive scientific map of the country is the unique mission of this research, which will be followed in three steps (description, pathology and solution). This study first tries to identify the challenges in the comprehensive scientific map by extracting the propositions regarding social participation in science and technology in policy documents in the form of 5 dimensions and 30 components. The results showed that this document faces several disadvantages from this perspective. Finally, 25 solutions based on social innovation were presented to cover these challenges.

The increasing growth of the scope and depth of scientific activities on the one hand and resource constraints on the other have made priority-setting an essential requirement in science, technology and innovation policy. In this context, decisions regarding basic research would be more complicated because of their specific characteristics including high uncertainty and unpredictability of the resulting benefits, and -as a consequence- the impossibility of cost-benefit analysis as the primary logic of priority-setting. This paper assumes that a national institution in Iran with a defined budget to support basic research in natural sciences must select a number of research proposals to support. The research question is how to do this. In order to answer this question and based on design science research methodology, via a systematic review of the knowledge base, the conceptual model of prioritizing basic research was formulated based on the framework for solving the problem of "R&D project portfolio selection" and "challenges of basic research priority-setting". Then, via answering these challenges, a process model was prescribed to answer the research question. In this model, after evaluating each proposal, the best set is selected by means of zero-one mathematical programming with the aim of maximizing the attractiveness of the set observing budget constraints, discipline and geographical distribution, type of research and justice. Validation of the proposed model was done through computer simulation of the mathematical model, as well as qualitative survey over experts' opinions to validate the general logic of the model.

One of the aims of the student admission laws, is to achieve justice. The present study was conducted to evaluate the student admission laws in terms of justice. To achieve this aim, a mixed method was utilized; that is, the research began with the qualitative method and continued with the quantitative method. The qualitative section of the research was aimed at exploring the indexes of justice that can be used to evaluate the laws of student admission. The results of the statistical analysis indicate, according to the students, justice operates below average in the laws of student admission. Also, these results indicate that there is no significant difference between the views of male and female students and those of students from different provinces.

Brain circulation with the means of bilateral migration and the flow of brain among countries is one of the dimensions of globalization. Although Scholars found many benefits for the brain circulation, the unbalanced migration of brains from the country causes a sharp reduction in human capital as the main factor of development in the sending country. This study determines the effective level of intellectual property rights on increasing the brain circulation index using correlation analysis and Tukey method. The research data are obtained from the migration status of inventors in 98 countries in 2012 according to their nationality and residency. The findings of this study showed: firstly, although there is a significant inverse relationship between the level of intellectual property rights and the brain circulation, but their correlation coefficient is low, and secondly only if the intellectual property rights index increases to more than seven, there is a significant effect on brain circulation index. Further comparison of the level of intellectual property rights in Iran 2019, 4.4, with the results obtained showed that improving the level of rotation of elites using the policy of strengthening intellectual property rights requires legislation, regulation and spending large sums.

In this research, we have attempted to analyze the discourse order that governs the higher education system of the Islamic Republic of Iran and how the educational policies are articulated in the said discourse. Higher education discourse in the Islamic Republic of Iran and especially after the Cultural Revolution showed its first signs of emergence. The educational policies within this discourse are divided into three periods from 1357 to 1360, 1360 to 1368 and 1368 to the present day in which each period of higher education has sought to consolidate its meaning through the aforementioned educational policies. The findings of the research show that the discourse of higher education in the Islamic Republic of Iran has been articulated around the central signifier of "Islamic culture" and signifiers such as "the rejection of secularism", "the transformation of education", "the selection of educational agents", "Privatization of education","Islamization of the university" are centered around this central signifier. Each of these signifiers has emerged as a mediator in the adoption of authentic laws and documents requiring special education policies. Educational policies in this historical course have taken on ideological, value as well as executive dimensions, and their ultimate goal has been to strengthen the articulation of higher education discourse in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The main problem in methodology is that what method should be used to achieve the most valid and reliable episteme/knowledge? In this view, all of current methodologies from behaviorism and positivism to post-behaviorism and post structuralism try to explain the way of achieving knowledge from their own point of view. But future studies are supposed to use other common methods in social sciences to give an understanding of future and related scenarios. Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) is one of future studies methods that uses a poststructuralist perspective and combines four different levels of analysis to find out the causes and trends of the formation of different future scenarios. This method horizontally and vertically investigates the problem, using four levels of litany, social system and structures, discourse/worldview and myth/metaphor. CLA goes beyond structures and studies the possibility of formation of different futures. This paper explains the methodology of CLA and its application in politics as a poststructuralist method.

Non-cooperation with government is an enduring issue in accomplishment of sustainable financial resources for government budgetary in Iran. The <em>Social Trap </em>theory argue that the reason of this problem is pertinent to distrust of a society’s members to each other formed already over the span of the years. This article attempts to test this claim by the means of an experiment. So, the main question of this research that is "why does not people cooperate with the government?" was answered in an empirical manner by the method of <em>Gaming</em> as the tool of simulation in order to design an experiment. The results of the test show that people cooperation with the government more influenced by government strategies than the cooperation of other members of the society. Hence, for the analysis, SPSS software and <em>Chi-Square</em> test are used. Furthermore, logistic regression is used for the modeling of the experiment results.

This research aims to identify and categorize the criteria for successful implementation of public policies. The Implementation stage is one of the most important stages of public policy process. Importance of Implementation is due to the fact that it is a test for the accuracy and precision of formulation of public policies. Given the different models of implementation analysis and the complexities of this policy making stage, identifying a set of criteria for successful implementation of public policies can lead to more successful implementation and help policymakers and relevant organization to prevent public policy failures. In this regard, in this research by using of thematic analysis, and reviewing scientific texts of public policy tried to identify a set of criteria for successful implementation of public policies. This criteria categorized in in five themes: 1-criteria related to the policy, 2- policy enforcers, 3- Executive organizations and structures, 4- Conditions and environment of implementation, 5- resources and tools of policy implementation.
