Abstract

Considering the importance and vital role of governance as a mechanism for the development of countries, the current research aimed to extract and introduce the features and characteristics of governance based on Mohammad Ali Foroughi's political opinions and thoughts as a historical doctrine. In this research, the interpretive paradigm and inductive approach were used. This research was exploratory and based on a qualitative method. The desired strategy for data collection was content analysis, and the data collection tool was the copying of documents, in which the book, letters, and manuscripts of Mohammad Ali Foroughi were analyzed as a statistical sample. The findings showed that the indicators of governance coordinates of Mohammad Ali Foroughi's opinions are numerous and diverse. These indicators were defined as the special achievement of the research on governance coordinates in the components of perceived integrity and integration of the ruler, democracy, citizen-centered, national maturity, learner, meritocracy, international policy maturity, and structural transparency, and were classified in the form of seven main categories, including meritocracy, national maturity, maturity of international politics, democracy, learning, structural transparency, and the perceived integrity of the ruler. These categories were introduced as governance features in Foroughi's political thoughts and opinions. These features can be extracted as a historical lesson and used for policy-making at different government and organizational levels. Based on these features, for using Foroughi's opinions and thoughts to optimize governance, policy making, and decision-making, suggestions were presented to the government and organization.
