Abstract:
The structure of cyberspace has made governance of states difficult and complex. This space has created new types of power such as soft, network, intelligent and artistic power and has increased the activism of private actors and reduced the power of state actors. In the domestic arena, challenges such as virtual reality, digital economy, influence of multinational companies, border removal, espionage, cybercrime threaten countries. In the international arena, we are witnessing types of modern wars such as media, hegemonic, virtual postmodern and hybrid wars. Countries that have advanced technology have more power. In Islam, neutralizing enemy attacks is done through countermeasures and generating authority in various and new arenas. Iran's approach to new concepts of power to strengthen Iran's regional and global deterrence and authority will be done with the approach of eliminating threats and increasing its effectiveness in the international system. Iran must generate deterrent power to confront enemy aggression. Producing soft power, eliminating threats, deterrence, strengthening cybersecurity, and launching a national intelligence network are among the most important measures in this regard. To confront America's global power in cyberspace, Iran must seek in its foreign policy to separate America from its allies, establish a multilateral governance model for cyberspace through the creation of an independent institution or one under the United Nations, strengthen the global balance of power system, and increase its activism in Southeast Asia as the leading power.
Machine summary:
The approach of the Islamic system toward new concepts of power to strengthen Iran's regional and global deterrence and authority will be implemented through an approach of threat removal and increasing positive and negative influence in the international system.
According to the findings of this research, the Islamic Republic of Iran must generate deterrent power to counter the all-out aggression of enemies, especially the hybrid threat of the United States in virtual space.
Since the new concept of governance is accompanied by requirements such as the use of hard power alongside new concepts of power such as soft, intelligent, and skillful power, this research seeks to identify and explain the types of emerging powers in light of new communication and information technologies, especially in the field of virtual space, and the view of Islam regarding the new developments in power; because to achieve the goals of the Islamic system, we need to use new capacities based on the values of the Islamic society in a soft, intelligent, and low-tension manner through the generation of power in emerging fields.
The United States, in the light of network power, pursues a new horizon in which the Western civilizational version creates a kind of hegemonic order in global cyberspace so that Western values and the American lifestyle are pursued as the ideal for other nations; for example, through the capacities of cyberspace, it has been able to divert the Islamic awakening (Arab Spring) of Arab countries and also manage China's power in cyberspace towards reducing the threat against America's civilizational interests (Shen, 2016, p.
