Abstract

This study seeks to identify and classify the components and strategies of economic defense by identifying the nature of the economic threat and its origins in the Iranian economy. To this end, firstly, by examining the definitions of institutional economics, Williamson's institutional levels are studied to study economic threats, then by the library method, the history of economic events in Iran and similar countries is explored and the source of economic threats in Iran at each institutional level is explained and the path of impact. Each is analyzed on the economy. In addition to explaining the current state of the country in terms of threats as well as opportunities, economic defense components are designed and utilized by brainstorming and elite meetings to achieve these components and effective strategies to deal with economic threats. The solutions are also categorized and presented within the framework of Williamson's four-level model. The paper, based on such an analysis, concludes what strategies should be taken in each of the short-, medium-, long- and long-term to cope with economic threats.
