راهبرد های سیاست خارجی جمهوری اسلامی ایران در برابر ایالات متحده پس از بیداری اسلامی: از تقابل ایدئولوژیک تا تعامل ژئوپلتیک

این پژوهش با عنوان «راهبردهای سیاست خارجی ایران در برابر ایالات متحده پس از بیداری اسلامی: از تقابل ایدئولوژیک تا تعامل ژئوپلیتیک»، به تحلیل سیاست‌های ایران در این دوره و چگونگی تاثیرگذاری آن بر نقش منطقه‌ای و روابط بین‌المللی می‌پردازد. سوال اصلی تحقیق این است که چگونه ایران توانسته است میان اصول ایدئولوژیک و الزامات ژئوپلیتیکی در سیاست خارجی خود توازن برقرار کند؟ فرضیه پژوهش این است که سیاست خارجی ایران در این دوره، به‌عنوان ترکیبی از تقابل ایدئولوژیک با آمریکا و تعامل ژئوپلیتیکی هدفمند، تعریف شده است تا ضمن حفظ استقلال ملی، منافع استراتژیک خود را در منطقه تقویت کند. روش تحقیق این پژوهش، توصیفی-تحلیلی است و از منابع کتابخانه‌ای و داده‌های مستند برای بررسی تطبیقی سیاست‌های ایران در این دوره استفاده شده است. نتایج تحقیق نشان می‌دهد که ایران از بیداری اسلامی برای تقویت نقش ایدئولوژیک خود در منطقه بهره برده، اما در عین حال، با تعاملات محدود ژئوپلیتیکی، مانند توافق برجام، تلاش کرده است فشارهای اقتصادی و سیاسی ناشی از تقابل با ایالات متحده را کاهش دهد. این پژوهش تاکید می‌کند که سیاست خارجی ایران، تلفیقی از ایدئولوژی و واقع‌گرایی است که با توجه به شرایط متغیر منطقه‌ای و بین‌المللی تنظیم شده است.

foreign policy strategies of the islamic republic of iran towards the united states after the islamic awakening: from ideological confrontation to geopolitical engagement

this research, titled foreign policy strategies of iran towards the united states after the islamic awakening: from ideological confrontation to geopolitical engagement, analyzes iran's policies during this period and how they have influenced its regional role and international relations. the main research question is: how has iran managed to balance its ideological principles with geopolitical requirements in its foreign policy? the hypothesis of this study is that iran's foreign policy in this period is defined as a combination of ideological confrontation with the united states and purposeful geopolitical engagement, aimed at strengthening its regional strategic interests while maintaining national independence. the research method is descriptive-analytical, utilizing library sources and documented data to conduct a comparative analysis of iran's policies during this period. the findings of the study show that iran has leveraged the islamic awakening to enhance its ideological role in the region, while also engaging in limited geopolitical interactions, such as the jcpoa (joint comprehensive plan of action), to alleviate the economic and political pressures resulting from confrontation with the united states. this study emphasizes that iran's foreign policy is a blend of ideology and realism, adjusted according to changing regional and international conditions.introductionthe islamic awakening, a significant movement across the middle east, profoundly influenced iran's foreign policy posture towards the united states. this paper examines the strategic pivot from ideological confrontation to a more nuanced geopolitical engagement approach, reflecting both regional transformations and global power shifts.main bodyhistorically, iran's foreign policy was characterized by a staunch ideological stance against the u.s., rooted in the islamic revolution's principles. however, the aftermath of the islamic awakening necessitated a reassessment of these strategies. the study delineates the key phases of this transformation, highlighting how iran has sought to leverage its regional influence pragmatically.the research methodologically analyzes speeches, policy documents, and diplomatic actions to trace the evolution of iran's foreign policy. the findings indicate a gradual but clear shift towards engaging with the u.s. on specific regional issues where interests converge, despite maintaining a rhetoric of resistance. for instance, the negotiations around nuclear capabilities and interventions in regional conflicts like syria and iraq are discussed to illustrate iran's strategic recalibrations.furthermore, the paper explores the implications of geopolitical realities, such as the rise of isis and shifting alliances in the middle east, which have prompted iran to occasionally align with u.s. strategic interests, albeit cautiously and selectively. this shift is portrayed not as a fundamental change in ideological orientation but as a pragmatic adaptation to preserve national interests amid evolving regional and international landscapes.conclusionthe study concludes that iran's foreign policy shifts are indicative of a broader trend of pragmatic geopolitical engagement in response to dynamic international conditions. while ideological rhetoric remains a significant component of iran's public foreign policy discourse, practical engagements reflect a more complex and layered approach to international relations. this nuanced strategy allows iran to navigate its regional ambitions and international pressures, suggesting a maturation of foreign policy that could influence future diplomatic interactions with the u.s. and other global powers.overall, the research provides insights into the complexities of iran's foreign policy strategies post-islamic awakening, offering a comprehensive analysis of how geopolitical realities reshape national strategies. this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between ideology and pragmatism in statecraft, particularly in a region as volatile and strategically significant as the middle east.
