Abstract:
As one of main theories of International
Relations, Social Constructivism considers norms as the key elements
of the identity building and forming the national interest of the
states. This study has tried to apply the theory of constructivism
to a comparative study of the Iranian and Saudi foreign policy
toward the Middle East Peace plan from 1991 to 2004. The main
question of the study regards the differences and the similarities
of the two foreign policies and their reason. The main theorem of
the study is: the Islamic Republic of Iran mainly opposed the Middle
East Peace plan and the Saudi Arabia admitted that. The first
looking after the Islamic values and the interest of the Islamic
countries and the latter seeks its own national interests. Meanwhile
the two have emphasized on the rights of the Palestinians and have
supported Palestinian groups. With the division of the two different
periods in foreign policy of the two countries before and after
September 11 the following issues can be mentioned:
During 1991-2001, the foreign policy of the Iran
concentrated on the absolute opposition to the plan and provoked the
Palestinian resistance.
During 2001-2004, Iran followed more diplomatic
language to show its opposition, while it encouraged other plans
such as Amir Abdullah's.
During 1991-2001, the foreign policy of the
Saudi Arabia encouraged the plan.
During 2001-2004, Saudi Arabia followed delicate
support of the plan with some initiatives such as Amir Abdullah's
plan.
Finally some guidelines have been presented to
make Iranian foreign policy more efficient
