Abstract

The article focuses on Iran’s foreign relations with the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region since the Islamic Revolution. It looks at interplay of domestic and transnational variables. The domestic factors include the beliefs system of the policymakers, interest of political survival, political economy, the geopolitics of Persia and also geographical realm. The transnational variables consist of the global order, symmetrical and asymmetrical interdependence as well as the regional systemic status. These major components are vital in Persia’s relationships with the regional and trans-regional players in the WANA region. Unlike the Iranian negative or conflictual dialectics, the Iranian positive or cooperative dialectics is the main consequence of the agent–structure’s interactions in this region.
