The developments of the 21st century led to transformations in the world's environment in such a way that the issues related to environmental developments and events turned from a domestic issue into a global one. Therefore, in recent decades, attention has been paid to the issue of environment and the use of new policies for solving them, such as the use of clean energy policy in the process of sustainable development in many countries. Chinese and American statesmen have taken effective steps to increase the use of environmental policy in order to achieve the goals of sustainable development. The main question of this research: What role has the use of clean energy in the politics of China and the United States in order to achieve sustainable development? In response to this hypothesis, it is investigated with a comparative-historical method that China and the United States have been able to meet the goals based on the sustainable development of society by using various policies in the field of clean energy renewable. Nevertheless, it seems that China, through the use of new policies, giving priority to clean energy etc., has been able to overtake the United States in the use of renewable energy and has been able to implement a part of its sustainable development policy with the balance between energy security and environmental protection.

The psychological study of political leaders is popular with foreign policy analysts. This study studies Carter’s psychology to explain his foreign policy decisions before and after the Iranian Islamic Revolution. The theoretical framework used in the article is emotional, rational behavioral therapy developed by the American psychologist Albert Ellis. This article analyses Carter's personality by examining the influential events of Carter's life and how he interprets them. This method has a historical approach for analyzing one's life that means a cycle of external events transforms into results with continuous interpretations. Continuously based on this model, Carter's five prominent personality traits have been extracted.The research results show that Carter’s dealing with the Iran revolution and the Iran hostage crisis was based on his psychological characteristics such as perfectionism and

This article investigates the cultural diplomacy of the United States towards china post 9/11. The cultural diplomacy has been growing in importance in the US foreign policy due to the increasing development of communicational tools and technology as well as the September 11 attacks. The US government used a variety of tools in the context of its cultural diplomacy to restore its soft power and deliver an ideal picture of itself. As the United States' soft power and reputation in china, its greatest trade partner, had declined after the September 11 attacks and Afghanistan and Iraq invasions in 2001 and 2003, respectively, it tried to compensate its own reputation in that country. Accordingly, the present study tries to examine the concept, background, methods and approaches of United States' cultural diplomacy during 2001-2012. In this regard, we are to answer this main question that "what components do constitute the United States' cultural diplomacy structure?" The hypothesis of this paper focuses on three components. These three components are: Fast food industry in terms of two McDonald and KFC brands; promoting culture and values through English Language learning; Hollywoodism which is referred to as the Hollywood's strategy to secure the United States' national interests and disseminate the American way of life; The descriptive-analytic method has been applied in this paper. This research approach is based on the concept of public diplomacy and its subcomponents namely the cultural diplomacy, because the cultural diplomacy is one of the main components of public diplomacy. Results show that the public diplomacy and, in particular, cultural diplomacy had grown in importance after the September 11 attacks, so that US used cultural diplomacy tools to restore its reputation in global public opinion especially Chinese people. The above mentioned three components had a linchpin role in implementing cultural diplomacy in the United States' foreign policy towards china, because they didn't have an importance place in the US foreign policy before the September 11 attacks. September 11 events are among the main requirements of the international system the turned the way of using soft power by the United States upside down.
