Abstract: Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA) has regained its significance since the 1990’s. This article argues that this could be explained partly on the basis of the ideational turn in International Relations and the emergence of constructivist approaches, both conventional and radical. On the one hand, these approaches are not substantive theories of international relations. Rather they are frameworks to be used at different levels of human life. On the other hand, their emphasis on the construction of reality and, hence, the importance of meaning culture, intersubjectivity and the like, separates them from materialist approaches traditionally dominant in the field and makes them closer to traditional FPA with its focus on cognition, meaning, intersubjectivity, cultural influences, etc. Examples of FPA based on constructivist assumptions show how they can enrich the field. The article concludes with a critical review of constructivist approaches to foreign policy in Iran.

Current study based on discursive psychology and according to a linguistic approach tries to find some main aspect of xenophobia elements in shah’s speeches and the rules of England to emergent of this behavior. The findings show that Mohammad Reza Shah with aware of his position as Iranian kingdom and Like most Iranians, based on historical wounds, depicts political environment full of fear. Fall of his father by allies powers, was the starting point of his xenophobia. According to the England rules in rise and fall of Reza Shah, as he thought, this country was blamed for any event that occurred in Iranian political environment. This particular psychological status led to a paradoxical behavior so that on the one hand sought the British support and On the other hand, conversely, was feel the threats by the British. Iranian social context and the contextualizing of Persian parole shaped a xenophobia behavior by focusing on the role of Britain in rhetorical speech of Mohammad Reza Shah during thirty-seven-years period of his dynasty. An important part of his political decisions backs to this key factor.

In this article, based on Carl Schmitt's view of politics and focusing on the concept of evil in the teachings of Zoroastrianism, we read Zoroastrian beliefs and ideas of the formation of the Sassanid Empire. According to the authors, in Zoroastrian teachings, the concept of evil takes on a concrete, existential and fundamental concept (not non-existent, as we see in Muslim philosophers), resulting in increasing confusion. There is a connection between the good and evil teachings of Zoroaster (morality) and the daily life of the people. The concreteness of morality in Zoroastrian teachings gives these teachings a high capacity to empower the political. Thus, the Sassanids, with their friendly and hostile dualities of "Sassanid-Parthian", "Sassanid-Roman", etc., while pursuing a policy based on the Schmidt political cause, also sought the unity and integrity of the new empire. This unity, while drawing strength from Zoroastrian teachings, was also a new innovation in these teachings, an innovation that derived Zoroastrian beliefs from religious teachings based on antitheses. He turned good and evil into political ideas based on the antitheses of friend and foe.
