Abstract

The evidences clearly show that a new situation is underway and a kind of basic upheaval is about to occur. The main question of this article is that what is the role of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in the evolution and global geometry of power? Using the futures studies method the article has analyzed the impacts of the Islamic Revolution on the new global geometry of power and its forthcoming futures. The research findings show that although the world was suffering from the conflicts caused by the bipolar structure, the Islamic Republic phenomenon arose and by presenting a new discourse, not only affected the domestic sphere, but also caused changes in the nature of the attitudes and structures and led to the formation of new intellectual currents at the international level. However, this level of deepening is not favorable, because if, according to “the 20-year outlook”, Iran wants to become the leading power of the region in terms of science, technology and economy, the deepening needs to become wider and especially more enduring. Reaching the favorable future in the new global order depends on the extent to which we would attempt to strengthen the economy, culture, science and technology and also to realize the 20-year outlook.
