Resumen

Utilizando el marco teórico del análisis de política exterior y el concepto de unidades de decisión autoritativas, este artículo analiza tres casos que requirieron la respuesta iraní: la Primavera Árabe, las negociaciones nucleares y la crisis del CCG de 2017. El artículo argumenta que no ha sido un actor individual, sino la combinación de actores individuales y colectivos los que tomaron las decisiones, conformando las unidades de decisión que diseñaron e implementaron la política exterior. También se sostiene que las decisiones tomadas se alineaban con el objetivo principal de la política exterior iraní, que es la de convertir a Irán en una potencia regional, para lo cual se implementaron diversas variaciones en las estrategias de no alineamiento.
