Abstract :
High-level documents in any country fundamentally influence the patterns and criteria of governance. In the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Constitution serves as the primary foundational document, establishing the principles and foundations of governance following the Islamic Revolution. This document has shaped the legal and political basis of the Islamic Republic and has acted as a guide for policymaking and major decision-making in the country over the past four decades. In 2018, on the threshold of entering the fifth decade of the Islamic Republic’s existence, Ayatollah Khamenei issued a statement titled “The Second Step of the Islamic Revolution.” This statement, as a new high-level document, encompasses various aspects of politics, culture, science, economy, and society, outlining a roadmap for the future of the Islamic Republic of Iran in its “Second Step.” In this context, the statement specifically emphasizes the necessity of reconsidering approaches and policies, aiming to strengthen and improve governance in the country.
This research initially aims to extract a governance model from the contents of the Second Step document (independent variable) and subsequently examines the compatibility between this model and the global document of “Good Governance” (moderating variable) through a comparative analysis, assessing their alignment with the country’s development (dependent variable). The research seeks to answer the following question: Can a coherent model for policymaking in the country be derived from the content of the Second Step statement of the Islamic Revolution? For public policymaking in Iran, which has better conditions between the content of the Second Step statement of the Islamic Revolution and good governance (global definition)? The authors’ hypothesis is based on the premise that the implementation of the components of the Second Step statement of the Islamic Revolution can lead to an improvement in the quality of governance and an increase in the efficiency of public policymaking in Iran. Furthermore, the alignment of the principles of the Second Step statement with global good governance criteria indicates the potential of this statement to create a sustainable and effective model for public policymaking.
