Abstract The author presents the concept of smart networked wars and Nonlinear Heterachic-panarchic Deterrence are as a new wave in modern studies of war and deterrence.These two are closely interconnected and often go hand in hand in the context of groups that living together. Throughout the history and evolution of international relations، the strategic environment and its types have determined the configuration of war and deterrence. On the other hand، deterrence against wars requires a specific configuration within the international system. This issue imposes particular demands on the foreign policies of states، especially at the regional level. Smart networked wars represent the final phase in the evolution of warfare، which necessitates a new pattern of deterrence. Although attention has been given to this، the existing literature on international relations has been unable to fully explain it. Deterrence against smart networked wars requires new systemic conditions، which can be explored within regional constructions of the international system. Thus، the present research raises the fundamental question of how the relationship between smart networked wars and deterrence. The answer to this question can be found in Heterarchic Panarchic deterrence، which is an innovative concept in the literature of International Relations and its strategic studies field. The main goal of this article is to advane the theory of nonlinear deterrence ;which the author introduced in the new wave of deterrence studies and to further develop it using the method of abduction.The result of the research article is also conceptualized in a new concept under the title of smart networked war and Nonlinear Heterarchic Panarchic Deterrence.

Abstract With the complexity of the international system and its chaos, foreign policy of countries as part of this system no longer follow the linear logic of the past. Therefore, in the field of foreign policy, there is a need for a new analytical system based on the characteristics of such a system. The West Asian system is heavily influenced by the complexity of the international system. Considering of this point, the main qiestion of this research is what is  the principles and basics of Iran’s foreign polciy strtegy in the west asian regional system considering the complexity which are controlling this network ? The diversity of threats, the diversity of actors, dynamics interference, nonlinear behavior patterns, and the intense cluster of network is the characteristics that Iran faces with them in west Asian network, and according to it, the strategic diversity in west of Asia networking and the strategic system based on triangular _ network deterrence  is axis of Iran's foreign policy in West Asia.

Abstract Today, theory of control provides a rich methodology and a set of supporting principles and tools for analysis of regional orders and its strategies and actors. Today, anti- systemic groups is a key concept in modern management of regional orders and interconnection between control system and new actors. Despite significant changes in international relations in recent decades the study of regional orders and their control are not at core of theories of international relation. Anti-systemic groups, as one of control variables in the regional orders, particularly in West Asia regional order, as an important strategic region, has been highlighted. Therefore, the core object of current research is to make a response to this question that what is the role and function of anti-systemic groups in order control system of West Asia region? In reply to this question, it can be said that anti-systemic groups will help to operation of control systems, including balance of power, deterrence and compellence, in asymmetrical condition of power and complexity of regional order. So, explaining the problem of offensive and resistant anti-systemic groups, as a mechanism for balancing, deterring and compelling, in West Asia region, is the main aim of this article. This survey concludes by considering the functions of these new actors for attempts to explain the management of new regional order.
