Abstract :

The purpose of this research is to analyze the views of the social sciences experts of Iran regarding the causes of the country's underdevelopment and to seek solutions to this problem and to achieve development. According to the research objectives, the qualitative approach and Delphi research method have been used. The participants of this research included all those who were in the field of development and had a book, article or research effect. Using a targeted and information-oriented sampling method, 15 of these people were selected as contributors. The results of the research show that the contributing experts in this research consider the role of internal barriers in the underdevelopment of the country more important, and the main reason for them is "internal mismanagement" and the lack of "decent management" and the lack of proper managers and the lack of a development-oriented government is also due to the fact that it will intensify and continue. Their most important solution to get out of this situation is the emergence of a development-oriented government focused on the full participation of the people .
