Political Future Studies

Abstract

In explaining relationship between politics and future studies, three kinds of approach could be supposed. Future studies in the field of politics containing issues such as political development, foreign policy, and the Islamic world. The other approach studies the future from the prespective of politics. There are many resources in this regard in political studies, most of which are devoted to the issues such as government, political power, participation and the geopolitics of the future world. The third approach is political future studies which consider politics as a future- oriented science and assume that in fact the present and past politics, in the time being or in the future, contains some aspirations for tomorrow which could be realized in the present time or the stage could be set for their realization in the future. This article tries to explore the feasibility of political future studies, to explain some dimensions of political future studies, and to formulate some strategies to implement political future studies.
