Abstract :

Iran's statesmen and economists have always focused on economic development. Given the nuclear issue and different approaches in the international arena toward Iran and sanctions, Iranian economists have tried to present a local model called resistance economy to get out of the current situation. Thus, the present study aims to provide a model for evaluating and monitoring the policies of institutions in the Islamic Republic of Iran in the resistance economy area. The present study uses an "exploratory" approach and a "grounded theory" method. Ten politicians of the approved policies of the Islamic Council (representatives of the Islamic Council in ten periods) and scientific experts were interviewed. Then, the data obtained from the interviews were collected and coded. The model was presented using MAXQDA software. The developed model includes two sections, including enablers and outcomes. The enablers include 5 criteria of "strategic management", "trust in the policymakers’ capability and plans", "balanced development of inputs and outputs of “the science and technology system", "factors involved in the implementation and realization of the policy, and "Infrastructure". The outcomes include the criteria of "perceived outcomes", "performance outcomes" and "financial outcomes". Given the dimensions of the resistance economy model (strategic management, trust in the policymakers’ capability and plans, balanced development of inputs and outputs of the planning system, factors involved in the implementation and realization of the policy, and infrastructure), the components of the system of evaluating, monitoring of the realization of resistance economy policies (in-group and institutional collectivism, independence, and attention ).
