Abstract :
Identifying, estimating and evaluating the elements of national power (constant/variable geopolitical elements) and analyzing and formulating power-oriented strategies and tactics in foreign policy (based on the geopolitical codes and combining with the needs/priorities of each period), requires the design of Comparable model for estimates have been reached and it seems that the first step in this direction is the quantification of qualitative concepts that constitute the effective factors in creating the national power of a country. In this article, in response to the question of "the most appropriate model of utilizing the capacities of the regional policies of the I.R of Iran based on national power" and the implementation of national power leveling, the collected power components were weighted according to the needs and priorities and The use of structured statistical tools and methods and hierarchical analysis methods of processing and spatial analysis of the distribution pattern of national power indicators and spatial statistics tests have been evaluated and analyzed. The analyses show that based on the national power of Iran, Turkey, Iraq, and Azerbaijan are the most important countries in the geopolitical field and they can strengthen the power of Iran in the region by playing a role in the South Caucasus. The countries of Syria and Armenia have been given high priority, which can promise a strong cluster pattern in the west/northwest of the country, which should be taken into account due to their unique characteristics and should be stabilized and strengthened in terms of current conditions.
