A case of these external outcomes appears as improvement of environmental quality or prohibition of natural destruction that benefits all of people. In other words, it is claimed that education leads to the better atmosphere of life and less hazardous environment. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate that idea, with special reference to preservation of forests, and then to provide some evidence. The used method is regression analysis on the basis of documented data sources. Accordingly, a sample including 158 countries throughout the world is used which classified to three sub-samples. The data are related to 2010. Results suggest that enrolment in secondary and higher education in low income countries and enrolment in secondary education in middle income countries have negative impact on deforestation. Therefore, it can be said that education is one of the determinants in lowering deforestation in worldwide.One of the arguments in justifying the necessity of education is its externalities.

As IWRM does not exist at the level of basin in Iran, eventually the legal framework of establishment of IWRM is suggested considering the structural complexities of the water management systems at a national level. Accordingly, establishment of such an approach is generally missing in Iran so that sustainable solutions are obtained for all round development of the country in the area of water. The values of water basin sustainability Index are low while water deficiency index is high in basins. In addition, the environmental degradation of water and soil in basins has resulted in migration of rural people to urban regions. All these factors have contributed to development of a great complexity in the IWRM in Iran. In this study, considering the principles of IWRM establishment across the water basin, proposals and solutions for modifying the rights and rules of the water in basins have been presented. The results indicated that the best solution for solving the problems associated with IWRM is ever increasing interaction between the beneficiaries and the available tools for achieving a sustainable strategy for the IWRM in Iran.In this study, the advantages and limitations of implementation of integrated water resources management (IWRM) approach given the rules and regulations in Iran are analyzed.

Lake Urmia crisis is a grave issue which incited many national and international sensitivities and response. To address the crisis, the present study takes a grounded-theory approach and in-depth interview with West Azerbaijan Regional Water and Waste Water Co. Ltd. expert-officials. Purposive sampling helped achieve data saturation by interviewing 6 interviewees. Results concluded several possible causes contributing to the Lake Urmia crisis: absolute absence of land use planning, lending little or no importance to social and environmental impact assessment, legal loopholes on responsibility, commitment, and duties of water stakeholders, and absence of a transparent coordination and administrative procedures among different organizations involved. Lack of education for stakeholders including those in agriculture, lack of alternative cropping system, lack of sustainable livelihoods and subsidies on water are major grounds for crisis, with climate change and illicit practice of deepwater drilling of recent years having played also a role. The crisis has dire consequences for the region’s environment which includes but are not limited to severely shrinking plant and animal ecosystems and declining human habitats in present and the future. The study recommends strategies to prevent and alleviate the effects of crisis: introducing changes into cropping patterns, sealing illegal deepwater drilling wells, and a general policy on restricting public water use as reforms and interventions.A serious examination of water and crises related indicates that the past issues arising in water management are rooted in hasty decisions, reliance on non-expert advice and a flawed policy.

After coding and extraction, it was obtained that “assuming contrary interests with the state” , “defective and dysfunctional transparence” , “symbolism and generalization Stereotype imagery” and “dissatisfaction and circle discontent” are constituent the main theme named “alienation of the state”. This alienation is linked with “fragile trust toward administrative organization”, “feeling of economic insecurity” and “learned powerlessness”.

Rosenau's hypothesis in foreign policy decision-making who believed that changing political behavior of the governments relies on the total of five variables: the decision maker characteristic, his part and position, government structure, inside the state variable and universal structure variable. The principle speculation of the research is that the Eleventh Government of Iran, under the influence of media and non-media general inner state variables within the systematic model , by changing the delegation and interactive attitudes, and structural shift from National Security Council to the Foreign Ministry, provided the factors for achieving the nuclear deal (JCPOA). In order to be reassured about the after effects of the research, a questionnaire including 14 questions was designed and distributed among some of the political, academic and media experts; these people had the most articles and positive or negative comments on nuclear talks. The experts of the nuclear issues express the effect of each component of the negotiators, institutional movement, interactive policy of the Eleventh Government, and domestic and foreign environments.

This has led to resilience as the greatest national challenge in the present day. The devastating consequences of recent international sanctions on Iran's economy reflect the low resilience of the national economy in dealing with foreign shocks. Hence, the Iranian government is facing more and more challenges to the political, economic and social crises, and will face them in the future. Among the topics of resilience, national resilience has been less researched. This paper aims to examine the theoretical foundations and literature of the existing research on national resilience. In this paper, firstly, glossary and genealogy of resilience have been studied, then researched on the resilience typology of individual, organizational, social and national levels as well as some indicators of national resilience measurements. Finally, there are gaps and weaknesses in the research literature.With the increase of natural and human disasters and their wide-ranging consequences, the need for more resilient communities and governments is felt more and more.

We argue that an “applied forward reasoning” approach is better suited for social scientists seeking to address climate change, which we characterize as a “super wicked” problem comprising four key features: time is running out; those who cause the problem also seek to provide a solution; the central authority needed to address it is weak or non-existent; and, partly as a result, policy responses discount the future irrationally. These four features combine to create a policy-making “tragedy” where traditional analytical techniques are ill equipped to identify solutions, even when it is well recognized that actions must take place soon to avoid catastrophic future impacts. To overcome this tragedy, greater attention must be given to the generation of path-dependent policy interventions that can “constrain our future collective selves.Most policy-relevant work on climate change in the social sciences either analyzes costs and benefits of particular policy options against important but often narrow sets of objectives or attempts to explain past successes or failures.
