Effects of Iran’s ideological identity in the formation of international agreements against it, according to the critical theory

Abstract

Three sanction resolutions were approved by the UN Security Council against Iran during 2006 to 2008,
showing an international agreement among the state agents against the nuclear programs of the
Islamic Republic. Why different interests of the Security Council members did not prevent them from
reaching "agreements" against Iran? On the other hand, the play off game of Iran did not achieve any
suitable result. Here, the answer to the questions of “why(s)” needs answering “the how(s)”. It seems
that the ideological views of the Iranian agents with ethnicity significance possess a special place and it
has been effective in achieving international agreements in each stages. These frequent agreements
could be assimilated to some kind of “evolutionary loop" that occurs in the contexts of capitalism
structure. This paper employs critical realism approach based on Roy Bhaskar viewpoint to find a way
to carefully examine the role of ideological identities in the global capitalism structure- specifically in
the nuclear case of Iran.
