چکیده:
Foreign policy is influenced by structural elements، internal، regional and international political dynamics. The decisive role of human factors in decision making and orientation as well as the role and priorities in the path taken by nation-states in foreign relations also have an impact on foreign policy. The most considerable reflection of the elites' will in determining the orientation of foreign policy and international planning is embodied in the formulation of national outreach documents like national strategic plans، long-term strategic plans or perspective plans. As a regional power، the Islamic Republic of Iran، after three decades of struggle for its independence and national sovereignty، codified the 2025 National Perspective Document in 2003 after lengthy debate and a consensual decision making process. It serves as a key outreach document in which the framework of domestic and foreign policies aimed at turning Iran into a superior power in the southwest Asian region takes form. While explaining the link between foreign policy planning and economic development both from domestic and international perspectives، as explained in the document، this paper stresses the indivisibility of the two concepts. By emphasizing the structural and human elements at the same time، an explanation of the two concepts and the link between them are also considered. The theoretical framework of this research is based on constructivist theory، it holds that becoming a regional superpower is dependent on a developmentalist foreign policy. Moreover، it argues that from a normative point of view، simultaneous consideration of domestic sources of development and positive action and engagement with the international community is essential.

into The fundamental question of this research is how we can understand and explain the foreign policy planning of the Islamic Republic of Iran from the angle of the link between regional power and economic development, based on the perspective document, and utilize it in practical policy making.
It is specified in the twenty year perspective document that: "With reliance on the ever-lasting power of the Almighty Allah and under the auspices of faith and national will, and the programmed and the prudent collective attempt on the way of the ideals materialization and the principles of the constitution in the 20-year outlook: Iran is a developed country, with a first class economic, scientific and technological status in the region, with the Islamic and the revolutionary identy, inspiring in the world of Islam with the constructive and the effective interaction in international relations...
Although there is no direct mention of a development model in the perspective document, considering its preface and the process anticipated for transforming Iran into a regional superpower with an advanced economy and a interaction with primary position in science and technology in the international system, and also based on the framework of the five-year plan adopted for the realization of the objectives of the perspective document under the title of "Sustainable National Development with a Global Approach", one can conclude that in order to achieve its goals, an expansion of exports" strategy has been chosen.
