İran’ın Dış Politika Kimliğini Oluşturan Faktörler
Factors Forming Iran's Foreign Policy Identity

Summary/Abstract: In this study, I have tried to explain the Iranian identity, Islam, Iran's geopolitics, Shiite Crescent and the exporters of revolution which are influential in Iran's foreign policy determination process through the theory of construction. With the semantic changes that Iranian identity has been gone through since the past, its impact on current politics will be determined, the geopolitical position of Iran and its strategic orientations will be discussed especially with the Shiite Crescent. In addition, the policies that Iran has started to follow in the post-revolution period will be discussed with an emphasis on its relationship with the Islamic identity. The policies followed in the process of exporting the revolution and the socio-economic and socio-cultural dimensions of these policies will be discussed as well. As a result of the literature review, a holistic framework of Iran's foreign policy will be drawn by ordering various approaches regarding these identities. This study will also focus on the internal dynamics of Iran's foreign policy identities. It will be possible to analyze the impact of these identities during the process of making Iran's foreign policy meaningful, especially by comparing the identities that have been active in the post-revolution process with those that are effective in the pre-revolutionary process.
