Creating security is the most evident duties and
functions of a government and the most basic requirements of any
society.
To reach these important goals, each country follows
a special pattern and strategy. That the Islamic Republic of Iran as a
religious government benefits from what kind of pattern for designing
its security strategy is of a great importance.
Two general patterns are reviewed in this study:
1. Affirmative Security Conversation
2. Negative Security Conversation
The Negative Security Conversation can be said is
based on eliminating the threats, specially from the foreign, through
the military forces and in general the hard ware. The one which is in
contrary to this one is the Affirmative Security Conversation that is
based on the software and with an eye on the internal affairs, is
seeking to create a series of objective circumstances to enhance the
power of the country to reach its national benefits. In this case,
eliminating the foreign threats is the primary step to reach this kind
of security.
To discuss about this matter that the Islamic
Republic of Iran applies what kind of conversation to create security,
and to see that what changes the Islamic Republic conversation has faced
during the years 1357-1384, is the main question of this research to
answer.
The claim of this study in answer to the main
question that forms the theory is that the Islamic Republic in the
early days of revolution’s victory was trying to carry out the
Affirmative Conversation regarding to the revolution’s leaders’
opinions, especially those of Imam Khomeini. However, considering the
specific circumstances of the country, led to the Negative Conversation.
And then with the improvement of the circumstances and partially
eliminating the threats after the war and with the creating of the
preliminaries and preparing suitable grounds in the reconstruction
period, the movement to create security in the form of Affirmative
Conversation started and continued in the reformation period.
This study consists of 5 chapters. In the first
chapter the theoretical matters are discussed and in the next chapters
the first two years of revolution, the war period, the presidency of Mr.
Hashemi and Mr. Khatami in turn, and the process of forming security
conversation and the threat sources of the country in each aspect were
reviewed.
The method of this research is making use of
librarian resources. It has also been tried to make use of both
collected resources in this field (the books and articles) and also the
speeches of the authorities of the country.
