About us
In line with its objectives as enshrined in the Statute of the Center, the Department of Foreign Policy Research conducts research activities in order to realize the overall objectives of the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Department’s research covers the following two levels of national strategy:
1. Grand strategy, which focuses on three areas. The first relates to the objectives of the system of the Islamic Republic of Iran as enshrined in the constitution. The second covers Iran’s strategic status in the political and economic geography of the world, and the third has to do with the dynamic nature of the international system.
2. Micro-level strategy, which refers to policies pursued by the Islamic Republic of Iran in response to the conduct of other actors of the international system in order to meet more immediate needs, i.e. security and welfare.
At both levels of the aforementioned strategies, the Department tries to keep a delicate balance between the ends and potentials.
