“…Despite the common critiques on the implementation of land reform and its devastating impact on agricultural production, the production of primary agricultural produce increased during those years. The achieved agricultural growth was, however, lower than the predicted rate in development plans [20] [23]. 4 The production level was not also compatible with high population growth, which was the result of increasing access to health care after the establishment of the health and literacy corps.…”

“…The second food regime began with the implementation of the first development plan (1949-56) under the Shah [19] and culminated in the White Revolution 3 (1963-78) and land reform. In the first development plan, 25 percent of the total budget was allocated to the agricultural sector, which was mostly allotted to rural infrastructure, especially irrigation systems [20].…”

Since the 1980s, international corporations have curtailed the autonomy of national states and have developed a new form of global food regime. Although the nouvelle regime promoted a new level of economic exploitation of the Global South, there are still some countries which resist the globalist corporations' penetration into their economies. This paper argues that the Iranian economy, due to a variety of reasons which were not necessarily endogenous, such as international sanctions, could not have been conquered by corporations. The Iranian revolutionary regime which had come up with the slogans of "Achieving Self-Sufficiency" and "Standing against Global Imperialism," stepped towards liberalization and privatization in less than ten years. However, the political sensitivity of food, as well as various forms of sanctions against Iran, did not provide the possibility of complete integration of Iranian food sector into the global free trade system. Even the IMF's prescription of economic reform did not lead to much deregulation, and just expanded the quasi-state sector of the Iranian economy. Therefore, the national regime, which is an evolved form of the former food regime, still overshadows the agricultural economy of Iran. The recent post-deal era also does not seem to bring a serious threat to the Iranian national food regime.

“…According to various critics (e.g. Pesaran, 1982;Hajyusefi, 1999;Fadaee, 2011;Farmanesh, 2009;Shakoori, 2006), regional planning before the revolution failed to address the issue of regional inequalities.…”

Since the emergence of planning thought 90 years ago, planning and development in Iran has always been a subject of active debate. Despite this long history, the centralized planning system has never been able to promote development that is consistent with the advantages and disadvantages of the regions, hence the evident imbalance in regional development of the country. This article aims to investigate the obstacles to regional development in Iran before and after the 1979 revolution, using a descriptive-analytic methodology. The results show that the main obstacle in regional development in the country lies in its centralized management and planning system, having led to serious barriers such as a sectoral approach in regional planning and management system, lack of a legal status for regional development, dependence on oil revenues, and lack of data and information resources.Abstrak. Sejak kemunculan pemikiran perencanaan 90 tahun yang lalu, perencanaan dan pembangunan di Iran selalu menjadi subjek perdebatan yang aktif. Terlepas dari sejarah yang panjang ini, sistem perencanaan yang sentralistik tidak pernah mampu mempromosikan pembangunan yang konsisten dengan kekuatan dan kelemahan wilayah tersebut, dan juga pengembangan wilayah yang timpang di negara tersebut. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki hambatan dalam pengembangan wilayah di Iran sebelum dan sesudah revolusi 1979, menggunakan metodologi deskriptif-analitik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hambatan utama dalam pengembangan wilayah di negara ini terletak pada sistem manajemen dan perencanaan yang terpusat, yang menyebabkan hambatan serius seperti pendekatan sektoral dalam perencanaan wilayah dan sistem manajemen, kurangnya dasar hukum untuk pengembangan wilayah, ketergantungan pada pendapatan minyak, dan kurangnya sumber daya data dan informasi. Kata Kunci. Perencanaan dan pengembangan wilayah, hambatan dan rintangan, sistem perencanaan nasional, Iran.

“…Agriculture has always been prioritized by the Iranian government as the main engine of national economic development (Shakoori, 2006). After the 1978 Revolution, the new Islamic Republic government used the term "Agriculture Jihad" (holy war), to satisfy the dramatically increasing food demand and also to improve the self-reliance of country (Kalantari, 2015).…”

“…After the 1978 Revolution, the new Islamic Republic government used the term "Agriculture Jihad" (holy war), to satisfy the dramatically increasing food demand and also to improve the self-reliance of country (Kalantari, 2015). Subsidizing of water and energy for the agricultural sector and importing higher technology of pumping wells were among the supportive actions of government to encourage agricultural expansion without considering the available natural resources of the country (Shakoori, 2006, Madani, 2014.…”
