Iran Solutions against the Economic Sanctions: Analytic Hierarchy Process Approach

Abstract

Sanctions are penalties or limited program against some societies, countries or nations. Sanction usually consists of a ban on the sale and shipment of products to a country and on the purchase of its exports. Some countries have done it in various types against Iran since 1979. Recently due to nuclear program of Iran, the number of sanctions have raised dramatically.  However, Iran can definitely manage and overcome them with appropriate policies and decisions. In this paper we evaluate some chosen solutions of Iran in front of economic  sanctions (ES) using a multi attributes decision model named analytic hierarchy process method in three clusters as the local ,regional and global scopes. The results showed the efficiency of this decision making model in these sanctions. The results also indicate the best strategies to reduce and acting proactively against economic sanctions.
