Abstract :
Maysam Musai Malihe Sheyani Ammar Chappi Nooshabadi Abstract Centralization and decentralization are two important economic approaches that countries have adopted over time in response to their societal needs. This study seeks to analyze Iranian society through the lens of these two approaches within the context of economic sociology and development. It considers both the current state of Iran and the potential conditions that could influence the country’s economic and developmental trajectory. To bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and the practical realities of Iranian society, development plans have been used as a foundation for data extraction and analysis. A key feature of this research is the use of content analysis to explore both the existing economic situation and the possible future conditions. This method combines both inductive and deductive approaches. For an alternative economic structure, the study synthesizes core concepts of federalism and free-market economy. The data collected has been analyzed using Maxqda and SPSS software, with tables and results presented and accompanied by detailed interpretations.
