Abstract
More than three decades have passed since the development policy in Iran after the Islamic revolution. However, Iran is still in the fourth quarter of development and the first quarter of underdevelopment. Although development and underdevelopment cannot be reduced only to policymaking, but policymaking has always been seen as one of the factors affecting development. Based on this, this research tries to understand the reasons for the failure of development policy in Iran from the point of view of experts and officials of development policy using Grounded Theory. Based on this, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 22 experts and managers of development policy, and the interviews were analyzed through three stages of coding: open, axial, and selective. In this analysis, 629 primary concepts were obtained, which were reduced to 78 sub-categories, then 24 main categories and finally a core category. The core category of the research showed that the development policy in Iran suffers from a triangle of inefficiencies, including the inefficiency of governance, the inefficiency of the social structure, and the inefficiency of the elite order, which is not separate but intertwined, in an articulated triangle, and the inefficiency of development policy have formed in Iran. This situation shows the formation of a kind of ominous triangle in development policy in Iran. It emphasizes that if this situation continues, Iran will be involved in a kind of double underdevelopment and suspension of sustainable development.
