Abstract

Foreign trade with resistance economy diplomacy approach is a new concept that examines the role of diplomacy in promoting foreign trade. The purpose of this study is to design a foreign trade model with emphasis on the resilient economy approach. In terms of purpose, this research is a category of developmental research that has been conducted in two stages. First, using the content analysis method based on semi-structured interviews with people who are experts in foreign trade, economic diplomacy and resistance economics, the relevant effective factors were identified and the initial conceptual model was extracted. Then, using the opinion of experts and specialists, through the distribution of a questionnaire and the use of interpretive structural methods, the components of the final model of research, ranking and the relationship between them were identified. Findings show that 180 codes in the form of 15 themes affect the foreign trade pattern. Also, fundamental changes and developments were identified as the most fundamental factor or factors of supply chain completion, production development and deepening of internal manufacturing and institutional quality of the model, as dependent factors, respectively. The results of the research, while identifying the influential and strategic factors in foreign trade, provide the basis for explaining its concept, separating this phenomenon from similar cases, including the diplomacy approach of resistance economics, and also presenting a conceptual model to understand and apply this model in foreign trade and other economic cooperation. Also, due to the importance and expansion of Iran-Iraq trade relations and regional cooperation, especially Iraq, to establish and maintain long-term relations with countries and its role in the country's economic growth in various industries, companies should consider the impact of this model on the paving of the way for foreign markets.
