Abstract In a positive discourse, internal security is a situation in which the political system is able to establish maximum satisfaction among its citizens. One of the dimensions of citizens' satisfaction is to have peace of mind in economic matters. Establishing internal security in the economic field in crises and shocks resulting from internal and external conditions requires correct and efficient decisions of senior managers; making the right decisions also requires transparency and access to accurate, true, comprehensive and up-to-date information and statistics from the economic field, which can only be achieved with the formation of an economic intelligence system in the country. Economic transparency, using the tools of the economic intelligence system, has significant functions that are vital and inevitable for the internal security of the country. The purpose of this article is to explore the theory of economic transparency and the creation of economic intelligence system and its impact on economic security in the country.

Abstract In this study, the authors by studying 50 ISI articles from 2010 to 2020 and 50 domestic scientific-research articles from 1388 to 1398 (Shamsi Hijri calendar), have tried to use the meta-synthesis Method to extract the causes of corruption (Driving Forces of Corruption) And the restraint factors of corruption (Reversing Forces of Corruption). Then, Driving and Reversing Forces of Corruption were categorized based on the highest frequency of repetition. Finally, the model of corruption and its Driving and Reversing Forces have been designed and presented using the Meta-synthesis Method.
