With the spread of economic crises in recent decades, the number of disputes between the host government and the investor has increased. Mechanisms have been established to resolve these disputes, which maintain order and security in the international community. Among these mechanisms is investment arbitration. Arbitration decisions are final, binding and one-step. But sometimes the issued vote has such damages and defects that it needs serious correction and annulment. It seems that prescribing the implementation of such decisions is like participating in injustice. Therefore, the development of codified and consistent rules regarding annulment in organizational and case arbitrations, as well as the arbitration rules of countries, will lead to encouraging foreign investment. Regarding the annulment of arbitration opinions, their advantages and disadvantages, no written research has been done, and cases of annulment have only been mentioned during the writing of some books or articles, without the precise interpretation of its existence. Especially, despite the importance and effect of Article 52 of the ICSID, the framework of this article has not been accurately calculated in arbitration procedures. Therefore, according to the philosophy of arbitration, the cases of revoking the vote should be limited to specific cases so that the vote is not swayed due to the non-compliance of minor matters. It should be kept in mind that the request to annul the arbitration opinion is not an obstacle or limitation of the arbitration and the purpose of these mechanisms is not to question the one-stage nature of the arbitration. In this research, it is tried to state that the purpose of establishing the revocation mechanism is not to weaken the arbitration procedure, but to create fairness and balance. Because it lacks causes the lack of transparency and accuracy of arbitration opinions, which is undeniable.

In the wake of US withdrawal of Iran nuclear deal, or JCPOA, and re-imposition of sanctions, Iranian policymakers came down gradually in favor of cooperation with the East, chief among them China, culminating in the signing of 25-year Iran-China and the adoption of Iran’s Look East Strategy in 2021. Considering the changing flux in Iran’s diplomacy toward the regional cooperation and ever-increasing Sino-Iranian rapprochement, the main question of this contribution is about the effect of Sino-Iranian rapprochement on India, one of Iran’s biggest Asian trading partners. The main hypothesis states that Sino-Iranian rapprochement has led India to expand the scope of its connectivity projects through Iran, throwing spoke in the wheel of China’s Belt and Road Initiative in South and Central Asia. Constructivist Institutionalism (CI) developed by Hay was adopted as the theoretical framework. The methodology used for this research is based upon qualitative methodology and discourse analysis to focus on Iran and India relations in the context of Iran’s Look East strategy. Our findings indicate that Indian policy makers are following the Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam principle in their engagement with Iran, seeking to increase Iran-India ties in the face of Chinese competition with long-term strategic and security deal. As part of India’s civilizational role in the Central Asia and a response to growing Chinese footprints in the region, India has undertaken certain concrete measures such as institutionalization of India-Central Asia summit on a multi-lateral framework and inclusion of Iran’s Chabahar port in the International North-South Corridor. The research findings reveal that the corporate remains the weak link in the chain of the state-temple-corporate complex of the Hindu nationalist BJP in relation to Iran. India is also set to lock in cooperation with Iran through long-term strategic deal, institutionalizing security cooperation, and strengthening the private sector participation in Chabahar project.

Many social sciences researchers call the presence of democratic parties and systems as two faces of a coin; they regard the development and survival of democratic parties and procedures related to each other. In Iran's cultural and political domain, the participation party presented itself as a significant movement in its socio-political sphere. This party has introduced itself as the defender of Islam in the region and the world. This research emphasizes two categories of structure and performance than the two flows of Iran's participation party and turkey's Justice and development party using an analytical – descriptive method. In response to the research question ‘what are the similarities and differences of the participation party and the Justice and development party in terms of structure and performance?’ presented this hypothesis that the participation party and the Justice and development party lacked a similar party structure. The difference between them is that the participation party has less coherence and antiquity than the justice and development party. Both parties have an Islamic approach; with the difference, the participation party has a variation in trend (national and Islamic) with a no secular system. The Justice and development party enjoy a single direction (Islamic direction) with a secularist approach.
