Abstract

The Iranian government is faced with important challenges & crises in different areas of public policy making such as economic, cultural, educational, environmental & industrial issues.In this article, we will discuss why these issues exist in Iran today & we will propose that there is a direct link between the involvement of people in politics & the efficiency of governmental policies.Even though Iranians believe that they are very political, in reality they are not as defined in this specific article. This leads governmental authorities to behave inefficiently or to suffer from megalomania.We will bring forth arguments that will support & defend our hypothesis in this article.
