Abstract
Evolutionary research and Examining the research approaches are one of the important research field to understand the status of a discipline in a specific period of time and scientific community. Theoretical poverty in this field of study creates scientific ambiguity, An event that will eventually lead to the non-formation of effective thought circles.
In this research, based on the interdisciplinary approach, 143 scientific research articles have been studies and the first step was taken. Based on special innovative method and using computer programming, we created a random and reiable statistical society. Also, based on the Grounded Theory research method, we found five confirmed theories that they can being a guide in future researches as indicators. The results of this research represent areas of research poverty and cases of excessive attention. In this research, we found that Iranian international relations are strongly influenced by the US foreign policy and it ignores the needs of the foreign policy doctrine of Islamic Republic of Iran. Also we realized the confusion of Iranian articles in epistemology and research method wich is caused by the lack of proper education.
In this research, we did not address the causes of Iranian researchers paying too much attention to cases or their lack of attention to some issues. Finding the cause of these issues is in the field of Extra-disciplinary approach which is rooted in the environmental factors and the value system governing the thinking of Iranian international relations thinkers. The fact is that they try to distance themselves from government policy.
