چکیده:
In this article, an attempt is made to measure the extent of state agency power and nation agency power by presenting a general model and relying on the multidimensional concept of power, and to determine the state-nation relationship based on it. Using the power gap pattern, an attempt has been made to rank the position of economically and politically transitioning countries on a continuum. At one end of this continuum are countries with a minimal gap, and at the other end are countries that have a weak and fragile continuity between their state and nation. Furthermore, using a feature space designed based on two dimensions—state power and nation power—different patterns of the relationship between state and nation have been identified in various countries. This article is actually a descriptive article that, without claiming to investigate the causes of different state-nation relationship patterns, responds to the question of how the relationship between the state and the nation can be empirically and quantitatively described.

Diagram 3- Position of the studied countries based on the fuzzy scores of state power and nation power (refer to page image) Source: Present study 5- Special case study of Iran Since the emphasis of this article is on identifying the status and position of Iran among the group of countries in transition, in the following, using statistical information, we will have a special look at the type of relationship between the state and the nation in Iran.
Chart 4- Asymmetry between the components of state power in Iran (refer to page image) Source: Present study On the other hand, the nation power in Iran, like other countries, has been measured with five indicators: private property rights, gross national income per capita, the level of power of stakeholder groups in society, social capital, and the level of awareness and knowledge of society, the results of which are provided in the table below.
Chart 5- Asymmetry between the constituent components of nation power in Iran (refer to page image) Source: Present study Chart 5 indicates that although the economic situation and to some extent the knowledge level of Iranian society are good compared to the group of transitioning countries, the capacity of stakeholder groups and civil society, as well as social capital and enjoyment of private property rights among the Iranian society, is not in an appropriate state; and this is while the existence of strong social capital and also the existence of intermediary institutions, groups, and the civil society network is considered one of the constitutive causes of continuity between the state and the nation.
