Abstract
One of the most prominent challenges in explaining the units power taking in the current turbulent world is the fluidization of the global strategic environment, the rapid rate of changes and increasing complexity in the international system, the change in order structures from simple and classic systems to complex and chaotic systems. In these systems, emerging trends and realities and power campaigns have brought out heterogeneity and imbalance in the geopolitics of power and order structures in a very prominent way and turned the processing and reproduction of power into a systemic and network phenomenon. The basic question of this article is: "What is the geopolitical role of the basic network in the empowerment of actors, including Iran, and how is it explained?". In response to this question, this hypothesis is proposed that: "the empowerment of actors, including the Islamic Republic of Iran, in a causal chain in local, regional and global cycles (integration of levels) and different subject areas (intertwining and integration of sectors) based on Network rules and geopolitic networking are done. In this regard, based on the ontological and epistemological foundations of the theory of complexity and chaos and the theoretical propositions contained in it, a new model in finding the power of units is formed under the title of network-hybrid geopolitics. In this framework, the most prominent finding of the research can be conceptualized by using the abductive method approach in presenting a new model of network power arising from networking and geopolitical networking
