Abstract

In the aftermath of the Second World War, the world has witnessed two different eras each with its own features, i.e. the Cold War era or Cold Peace era (1947-1991); and, the current era, which is called the era of globalization or globalizing. Attempts have been made in the present research to study and analyze Iran’s geopolitics in the region in the post-Cold War era and within the condition of power System in the world. The findings of this research show that in the new era, the economic-centered system is based on political arrangements with the aim of gaining upper hand over economic jugular veins and energy, particularly in the Middle East. Hence, the significance and role of the states depend on their economic superiority in which their geographical positions too play an important part. It should be mentioned that the role of regional and extra-regional powers in the developments in all countries, including Iran, in the post-Cold War era, has been under the influence of regional policies of these great powers that have led to differences.
