Abstract
The present study was written with the aim of examining the contemporary implications of governmentality in the Siasatnameh of Khwaja Nizam al-Mulk Tusi.. It seeks to answer the question: What approach did the Siastasnama of Khawaj Nizam al-Mulk have towards policy-making and governance? Corresponding to the question posed, research findings were extracted descriptively and exploratoryally through text analysis method based on the book Siasat Nameh Khajeh. The research findings indicate that the approach governing the policy-making system in the policy document is a bureaucratic and institution-oriented approach, which was examined and analyzed in eight dimensions. Including; monarchy and social awareness, supervision and the bureaucratic system, the bureaucratic system and organizational communication networks, the prevention system and the priority of advice over punishment, the bureaucratic system and effectiveness and the prevention of tyranny and the triple prescription of "patience, consultation, faith". In fact, Khajeh emphasizes the supervision and control of power. By adopting the bureaucratic wisdom of Khajeh, it can be said that Khajeh's bureaucratic wisdom, because it relies on the native Iranian-Islamic tradition, was able to guide the management of bureaucracy. However, contemporary Iran, due to the bureaucracy arising from the culture of modernity, does not have the ability to lead the bureaucratic system because it does not have a serious basis on the foundations of the native Iranian-Islamic tradition and culture.
