Abstract In this survey the implications of foreign trade on environmental security of Iran, specifically due to carbon dioxide emissions, is discussed. The main question of the paper is that how the foreign trade, directly or indirectly, has affected carbon dioxide emissions during 1979 until 2015. To answer the question, the available data are considered and discussed in three different phases. Based on the findings of the paper, the direct effect of the foreign trade has been positive for exports and has increased carbon dioxide omissions. Also, its indirect effect has been positive as it has increased revenues of the country. However, the foreign trade has caused environmental insecurity in Iran.    

Abstract      This aricle examines the national Security factor in economicdevelopment policy. Surprisingly, few post - war works on economicdevelopment explicity address national Securrity issues. The result isthat economic development has been treated in the literature as if itwere formulated without regard to the internal and/or externalthreats facing Third World regimes.      Kapstein in this article discusses the Link between economic andnational Security policies in Third World Countries. Specifically, itwill argue that national Security concerns have influenced the scope,timing and trajectory of economic development. National Securityhas also played a role in determining the geographical location andownership of those capital-intensive projects which are important tothe military and the choice of technology employed in the project.
