چکیده:
Through the convergence of satellite and internet networks, new communication technologies have opened the platform for the emergence of new actors, including governments, organizations, companies, groups, and new personalities to enter the field of foreign policy and openly compete with traditional powers in the field of international relations. Investigating the impact of new technologies on the emergence of new actors in the international field is the main goal of this research. In the theoretical framework of the research, the approach of liberalism and power and technology theorists (Nye and Toffler) have been used. The statistical population of the research includes all university professors and students of post-graduate courses in political science and communication sciences, experts and media experts across the country in 2019 and the sample size was estimated to be 384 according to Cochran's formula. This research was carried out in a descriptive-analytical way using the survey method and researcher-made questionnaire tools, and descriptive statistics and factor analysis statistics were used to analyze the research findings. The findings of the research showed that new communication technologies, including five factors of web and mobile social networks, cyber journalism, virtual space, satellite networks and the Internet (search engines), in the emergence of global actors (transnational and international organizations, multinational companies, new governments and terrorist groups) are influential. But these influences are not the same and the biggest impact is attributed to the two factors of the Internet and virtual space.
خلاصه ماشینی:
The study of events in the years 1388, 1396, 1398, and 1401 in Iran reports this phenomenon, where the use of information and communication tools as a fundamental strategy by the West, led by the United States, is intensely pursued with the aim of containing and changing the system of the Islamic Republic of Iran; therefore, a fundamental understanding of the dimensions of the influence of new technologies, simultaneous with the comprehensive development of e-government, makes the necessity of planning to cut dependency from foreign messengers, infrastructure completion, replacing them with advanced domestic messengers, and the comprehensive utilization of cyberspace for activities in economic, political, cultural, social, and military fields becomes more evident than ever before.
These technologies, by changing the nature of power from hard to soft, breaking the monopoly of states in international interactions and the emergence of new actors, accelerating the trend of power transfer from West to East, and expanding the scope of power for non-state actors, play a role in increasing cyber security threats, sabotaging the vital infrastructures of countries, and assisting great powers in intervening in the affairs of independent countries through the imposition of democratic programs, and launching widespread social movements through the incitement and persuasion of public opinion toward activism, protest, and violence, regardless of geographical limitations in the implementation process of economic, political, cultural, social, and systemic programs of countries.
