Abstract: (35 Views)
International institutions are among the fundamental pillars of the global order, playing roles in political, economic, and social processes that extend far beyond their traditional functions.In today’s complex world, these institutions not only facilitate cooperation but also, through a set of institutional mechanisms, can accelerate states’ influence and contribute to the emergence of new patterns within the international system. In this research, this role is referred to as the “accelerator” function. Employing this concept is an attempt to better explain the capacities through which institutions enhance states’ power and influence. The main focus of this study is to examine how the Islamic Republic of Iran can utilize the potential of international institutions to improve its political and economic standing in the global arena. The theoretical framework of this research is grounded in Liberal Institutionalism and Neo-Realism, and the central hypothesis posits that the strategic use of institutional mechanisms can contribute to the enhancement of Iran’s international position. In this regard, the experiences of emerging powers such as China and India in their smart engagement with international institutions are considered as comparative case studies. The findings indicate that international institutions through the establishment of normative frameworks, the creation of legitimacy building platforms, the regulation of multilateral interactions, and the enhancement of the efficiency of cooperation can function as accelerators for states. This research employs a descriptive-analytical method using documentary data and library sources, and ultimately presents a framework for evaluating the role of international institutions in strengthening convergence and advancing the national interests of emerging powers.
