In the sense that various factors have created a kind of security interdependence between countries and regional actors. Therefore, this research seeks to achieve a practical goal through the study of different theories of common security and security in Islam and the approach of culture in the Persian Gulf. Since the work of policymaking is to organize affairs and security policymaking is considered as a vital and basic necessity for governments, this research after examining the approaches, authorities and drivers of security policymaking in the Persian Gulf region aims to provide a security model based on common security. , security in Islam and the approach of culture in order to transition from national security to human security in this region, which is carried out quantitatively on experts, managers, experts, activists in the field of security in 1401.
This research aims to present a security model based on common security and a strategic culture approach in order to transition from national security to human security in the region, which was conducted quantitatively on experts, managers, experts and activists in the field of security in 1401. The research question is, what is the relationship between Iran's strategies and the approach of strategic culture and common security in the Persian Gulf? This research was conducted based on quantitative and qualitative research methods and descriptive analysis of correlation method; In this way, the research was conducted using questionnaires and interviews about the regional security system. In this research, the structural equation model (SEM) was used to develop the model. The findings of the study showed that common security has an effect on the realization pattern of Persian Gulf security. The path coefficient between two variables is 0.42, which has a significance level of 25.36, which is desirable because it is greater than 1.96, so the existence of a significant effect is confirmed. Also, the study showed that the theory of strategic culture approach has an effect on the realization pattern of Persian Gulf security. The path coefficient between the two variables is 0.68, which has a significance level of 16.745, which is desirable because it is greater than 1.96, so the existence of a significant effect is confirmed.
Since the goal of providing a security model with an emphasis on the common is security in Islam and culture, it is practical in terms of its purpose and descriptive and analytical in terms of its approach, and its results are clear and objective, and its results are in meeting needs and solving problems. and its application in solving specific problems in the organization, society, etc. is. It is also small in terms of information gathering. According to the type of study, the statistical population of the research includes experts, managers, experts, activists in the field of security in 1401. The number of these people was estimated to be about 500 people. Based on Morgan's table, for a community of 500 people, the number of samples is 217 people, which was carried out on 217 people in this study. The current research is a survey data collection method, which means that the present study is a descriptive survey and is discussed and investigated by reviewing scientific sources and theories in the field of research and comparing them, conducting an interview and designing a researcher-made questionnaire based on the results of the interview. In order to collect and analyze the data and information required for this research, various methods and tools have been used, which are described below according to the different needs of the research model. To collect information related to theoretical foundations, library research and study of various books and articles and scientific sites have been used. The main tool for collecting information in this research is a questionnaire, and a researcher-made questionnaire based on theoretical principles will be used to develop the questionnaire, so that the components extracted from the interviews will be evaluated, and the answers will be designed as a five-item Likert scale. In this research, the structural equation model (SEM) was used to develop the model.
The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between common security and the security of the Persian Gulf. The path coefficient of this relationship was found to be 0.717. To evaluate the significance of this effect, one should refer to the significant number of t-Value, which is 2.269, which is more than 1.96, and also the P-Value is 0.000. The findings also showed that there is a significant relationship between the approach of strategic culture and the security of the Persian Gulf. The path coefficient of this relationship was found to be 0.68. To evaluate the significance of this effect, one should refer to the significant number of t-Value, which is 2.949, which is more than 1.96, and P-Value is 0.022. Also, there is a significant connection between security in Islam and the security of the Persian Gulf. The path coefficient of this relationship was 0.529. To evaluate the significance of this effect, one should refer to the significant number of t-Value, which is 2.456, which is more than 1.96, and the P-Value is 0.000. Therefore, the desired hypothesis is confirmed at the 95% confidence level and there is a significant relationship between security in Islam and the security of the Persian Gulf.
