The success of Developmental State in East Asia once again has proved the role of the state in the process of development and shed light on the weakness of Neoclassic theories in their emphasis on the role of the market as a balancing force. One of the necessary variables for the formation of a developmental state is the international context. Like many states in East Asia, the path toward development in post-revolution Iran seems to be through the formation of a developmental state in the context of the existing international system. But the reality is something different. Therefore, the objectives of the present paper are 1 - to study the relationship between the international context and formation of the developmental state in Iran; 2 – to study the role of the United States in the process of formation of the developmental state in Iran; 3 – to study the means the US has employed to block the formation of a developmental state in Iran; and, 4 – to study the role of Iran’s foreign policy behavior in the formation of the developmental state. The main question of the present paper is what are the international obstacles to the formation of a developmental government in the Islamic Republic of Iran? The main hypothesis of this paper is: International context, US hegemonic status in the international system, and various political and economic obstacles and sanctions imposed by the US have prevented the formation of a developmental government in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The findings of the research sustained the hypothesis of this study.

Ecotourism is a tool for achieving the goals of sustainable development, because it offers similar solutions to current problems. Iran is one of the most attractive countries in the world, which is among the top countries in the world in terms of climatic diversity and archeological and civilizational monuments, but unfortunately, in terms of ecotourism attraction and income, it does not have a worthy position. With coherent and systematic planning, the country can be saved from economic stagnation and dependence on oil, and the ground can be prepared for more employment and preservation of national reserves and resources.

Cities are considered the most important social, economic, political and cultural activities. The study of the growth of urbanization shows that the growth of the urban population is increasing rapidly and the cities are facing a high rate of population growth and have not yet been able to control the problems caused by this growth. Today, the phenomenon of immigration is considered as one of the most important and complex problems of third world countries. It is obvious that our country is not far from these issues as the investigation of various studies shows; The issue of migration, especially migration from the village to the city and sustainable rural development, has been widely studied, but the immigration acceptability of villages and its relationship with sustainability issues, especially social sustainability, has been less of a focus of researchers. Regarding the city of Mahabad, it should be said that the development of this city in the past years was mostly due to the migration of villagers to the city and also the natural growth of the population.

Economic growth is a major goal for developing countries; governments therefore strive to create favorable conditions and allocate necessary resources for the prosperity of their nations. This study examines the impact of International Monetary Fund (IMF) loans, along with other macroeconomic variables, on the economic growth of selected countries in the D8 group. The study utilizes panel data covering the period from 2001 to 2020, and employs a panel data method to investigate the effects of explanatory variables on growth. The research findings indicate that IMF loans have had a positive impact on the economic growth of member countries. Furthermore, IMF loans have contributed to the promotion of structural reforms and trade liberalization, which further enhances economic growth. Other variables, such as foreign direct investment, labor, and exports also had a positive impact on economic growth in the D8 countries. However, an increase in inflation rate has been found to have an adverse impact on economic growth. Therefore, economic policymakers in the D8 countries should seek loans for economic growth from the IMF and invest in projects that promise high returns. This study contributes to the existing literature on the relationship between IMF loans and economic growth in developing countries, and provides valuable insights for policymakers in D8 countries. The findings suggest that prudent borrowing, along with strategic investment in high-return projects, can help these countries achieve sustained economic growth.
