Abstract The hegemonic state usually creates and maintains a hegemonic order in order to achieve its interests. Thus, preventing major and central wars has become the most important goal of the hegemonic state in the hegemonic order. In contrast to the hegemonic state, there are emerging powers that, according to the variables of satisfaction, role, ideology and power developments and the role they experience, try to create regional order in accordance with their principles and rules and are considered as a challenge to the hegemonic order. The question of this paper is what principles are the main strategies of emerging powers in the hegemonic order? In response to this question, and considering the assumption of power dynamics and the effect of role and satisfaction variables on the design of actors strategies in the international system, it is hypothesized that the proximity of emerging powers to hegemony leads to role changes in actors behaviors and this leads to contrastive behavioral patterns and seizing the power gap will lead to the aggressive and challenging policies of the dissatisfied emerging actor. This study tries to explain the strategies of emerging powers in the hegemonic order by focusing on the theories of power cycle, hegemonic stability and power transition.

Abstract Since security and justice are both among the top virtues of human society, makes it difficult to prefer one of them in positions of conflict or to explain their relationship. In this article, author first defines both concepts and then explains possible positions of practical and theoretical conflict between them. Security based and justice based approaches are two classical ways of solving the conflicts.   Author argues that Islamic approach which is based on interaction between justice and security has more explanatory power to solve the positions of conflict.  According to this approach we should separate justice and security aspects (function and fundamental). By this separation we find that justice and security in linear function (security function with justice function or security fundamentals with justice fundamentals) don’t have any conflicts. But in cross terms (security function with justice fundamentals or security fundamentals with justice functions) we can consider conflicts. Albeit, in this situation naturally functions have priority over fundamentals.
