In principle, globalization, as a social process, imposes certain restrictions on the analysis of social reality. Increasing the complexity of social systems leads to a reduction in the understanding of phenomena. At the same time, the conceptual tool of international relations is both incomplete and inadequate in terms of analysis and in the field of action, which confirms the ineffectiveness of the conceptual framework, to act in the increasing complexity of social reality. Therefore, the present paper, with the assumption of complexity in the real world, has examined the question of which theory of power is the explanation of the evolution of the complexity of the international system? The result of this study is that non-linearity is inherent in political phenomena and linear assumptions do not contribute to understanding and analyzing the nonlinear phenomena of the real world. Therefore, given the complexity of international politics and the real world phenomena, the theory of complicated adaptive systems of power seems to explain the evolution of the complexity of the international system.

Central Asia is an integral part of the strategic environment of Iran, which has become an important concern for Iranian policy-makers with independence from the Russian federation. Over the past three decades, major trends have begun in the four areas of development, communication, integration and security in the region. Each of them has been of special importance to Iran. The purpose of this article is to examine these trends and the role of Iran in them. The author's main idea is that Iran's role in the region is more defensive, prudence, preserving the status quo and moving alongside Russia's foreign policy. No operational initiative can be seen. In fact, although Iran may have not lost something, it has not achieved anything. Iran's policy in this region has been overshadowed by Iran's policy in other areas and issues like hostility with the United States. As a result of the fact that, given Iran's importance, but its real role is very small, Iran can be considered as a missing link of cooperation and the convergence of the region and the strategic capacities of Iran is ignored. Research method in this article is the research process by focuses on the four main issues of in the region and using the qualitative analysis of the last studies and the knowledge of significant reserches in this region.

Russian President Vladimir Putin formally approved his country’s new national security strategy. The content of the updated document reflected the sharp deterioration in Russia’s relationship with the West after the Ukraine crisis – it accused the U.S. and its allies of trying to dominate global affairs and described NATO expansion as a major security threat The strategic interdependence between Russiaand West during the last decade became not only anaemic but antagonistic. The regional implications of that can be compared to the boomerang effect: problems at the strategic level affect the regional level and return to the originators. Generally speaking, Commonwealth of Independent States conflicts can be viewed as the product of the Soviet legacy and the patchy collapse of the USSR as well as the ill-conceived policies and mistakes of the involved parties, Russia and external actors – USA, NATO and EU.

This issue is an important factor in shaping the new structure of the Middle East regional system, on the one hand, leading to a shift in the role, influence and interests of regional and international actors, and, on the other hand, has brought new alliances to the region. What's important here is that although the Arab world's uprisings in all of these countries are related to the interests and foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the extent to which the changes in each country change and affect the foreign policy of Iran is different. . Some developments in the Arab world have taken place in the immediate or neighboring security environment of the Islamic Republic of Iran, such as Bahrain, and certainly more directly and broadly affect the security interests of Iran.
