Describing this responsibility of SCW based on its enactmentsfrom 2010 to 2019 is the main purpose of this research. In order to obtain the purpose, the Content Analysis and Network Analysis were applied in this study. Based on the content analysis of SCW documents, the actors of first level of political power (Ministry of Energy, Planning and Budget Organization, and Ministry of Agriculture Jihad) are the most hegemonic of all actors in action arena. Also, the network analysis of “the linkage of actors-action area” demonstrate that an asymmetric nested structure of water governance has formulated in Iran and has had low capacity to develop the social learning. However, the SCW could be effective by considering on institutionalization of continuing education in action arena.The Supreme Council of Water (SCW) on highest level of political power of water governance has directed the actors and facilitated the linkage between actors and action area (agriculture, drinking, industry, and environment).

Implementation problems are rooted in a number of factors, including bureaucratic politics. The purpose of the present study is to explain the role of bureaucratic politics in the implementation of privatization law in Iran. The approach of this research is qualitative, and the method of qualitative content analysis has been used. Data collection tools were semi-structured interviews and Fifteen of the privatization managers and practitioners were selected for the interview. This study showed that bureaucrats lose significant benefits by privatization. In general, they care about their personal interests. They refuse to accept responsibility and execute risky verdicts. In order to safeguard their interests, they try to influence the privatization policy by distorting and censoring the firms' information, misinterpreting the law, failing to properly perform their duties, improperly enforcing the law, and creating the wrong structure and organization. Therefore, one of the main obstacles to the implementation of the privatization policy in Iran is bureaucratic politics. Understanding the actions and behaviors of bureaucrats and using appropriate strategies to manage them can reduce the difficulties of implementing this policy and increase the likelihood of its success.The implementation of public policies faces many problems.

Analyzing the government's challenges for effective supportive policies in the automotive industry, or what we call it here developmental rent management, is the main focus of this study. According to the literature review, the framework of developmental rent management was chosen to address the research problem at three levels: political context, organizational and institutional structures, and market and industry structure. Interviewing and documents were used. According to interviews and document reviews, the challenges of rent management are categorized into three levels: Politics, policy and industry. At politics level, political change has caused managerial instability in the industry, and difficult international conditions have made cooperation with international automakers difficult. Macroeconomic instability has added to the industry's problems. At the policy level, current support policies are not effective in encouraging learning for reasons such as unconditionally, lack of specific timeframe, lack of support for new activities, and so on. Lack of focus on the automotive industry in the choice between a domestic brand development strategy and the production of global brands strategy has led to waste on investments. At the industry level, low technology and organizational capability hinder the absorbing different technologies. Ownership structure on the one hand has ease the way for government intervention in the industry and, on the other hand, has blocked much of the automakers' capital in a phenomenon called cyclic shareholding.

Iranian law is based on Islamic principles, and music remains one of the most controversial issues in Islamic jurisprudence, which has given rise to sensitivities about the subject of music. Art music is pervasive and popular, but the void of policy-making to exploit this cultural and artistic capacity is one of the weaknesses of the Islamic Republic, which now on the 40th anniversary of the victory of the revolution, it faces the subject of music, which was unthinkable image in the early years of the revolution. The present study, Using the system analysis method and looking at the public policy cycle, examines the process of music policy making by specifying the input, design and implementation components, and finally, by highlighting the results of policies to evaluate government performance. It seems, government of Iran's approach to art and especially music to be Platonic approach that permits artist activity only under the constant supervision of rulers. On the other hand, the economic situation, including the lack of financial resources and resources in the field of music, did not fit with the Platonic view, which led to the weakness and inefficiency of the government. If the government changes its attitude, adopts an Aristotelian approach to the issue of music, and pioneers the teaching of authentic and national Iranian music, it will undoubtedly be an important step in enhancing the musical taste of individuals, especially future generations. It also needs to avoid going into details by adopting general policies and clear guidelines, and by adopting sound economic policies and taxing private-sector music activities, it has gained the ability to fully support indigenous artists, revitalize local music and to publish original Iranian music.Music is one of the original Iranian arts and one of the most important pillars of national cultures, which today has an undeniable role as an identifier. Iranian law is based on Islamic principles, and music remains one of the most controversial issues in Islamic jurisprudence, which has given rise to sensitivities about the subject of music. Art music is pervasive and popular, but the void of policy-making to exploit this cultural and artistic capacity is one of the weaknesses of the Islamic Republic, which now on the 40th anniversary of the victory of the revolution, it faces the subject of music, which was unthinkable image in the early years of the revolution. The present study, Using the system analysis method and looking at the public policy cycle, examines the process of music policy making by specifying the input, design and implementation components, and finally, by highlighting the results of policies to evaluate government performance. It seems, government of Iran's approach to art and especially music to be Platonic approach that permits artist activity only under the constant supervision of rulers. On the other hand, the economic situation, including the lack of financial resources and resources in the field of music, did not fit with the Platonic view, which led to the weakness and inefficiency of the government. If the government changes its attitude, adopts an Aristotelian approach to the issue of music, and pioneers the teaching of authentic and national Iranian music, it will undoubtedly be an important step in enhancing the musical taste of individuals, especially future generations. It also needs to avoid going into details by adopting general policies and clear guidelines, and by adopting sound economic policies and taxing private-sector music activities, it has gained the ability to fully support indigenous artists, revitalize local music and to publish original Iranian music.https://jppolicy.ut.ac.ir/article_75200_163aab7fd59fb07a5ba944f485fddac7.pdfUniversity of TehranIranian Journal of Public Policy2538-55775420200220Latest achievements published in International Policy Journals: case study of Policy Studies Journal, No. 40, 2019Latest achievements published in International Policy Journals: case study of Policy Studies Journal, No. 40, 20192813067520110.22059/jppolicy.2020.75201FAParvizDelirpour,Political Science Department, Payamnoor UniversityJournal Article20200302n this review seven articles were selected from Policy Studies Journal, No. 40, 2019, to examine the latest achievements of papers by reviewing the methodology of the articles as well as their conclusions and recommendations for policy making.
