Abstract

Technology governance has been considered in recent years and researchers have used it to explain and describe the development of technology. The aim of this study is to explain the governance of nanotechnology in Iran. To this end, explain how to participate in the governance of nanotechnology; Explain the Mechanism (Management) of Nanotechnology Governance Explain the objective functions in nanogovernance. This research is a partial case study from the point of view of deductive research approach, in terms of applied purpose and in terms of strategy of research.In this study, performance reports, policy documents, semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and direct observation were used to collect data. Process analysis, content analysis and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The results of this study show that the governance arrangements of nanotechnology in Iran have been done mainly at the "national level" and with the participation style of "absolute government" and "corporatism".It has also used the "market-based" mechanism in more than 50% of cases, tends to "focus on power" and in more than 70% of cases has had a "flexible implementation" approach. Also, arrangements that have"executive guarantee"have a smaller share than arrangements without an executive guarantee, and the functions of "acceptance" and "provision and facilitation of resources" have a greater share than other functions being affected by the governance arrangements in this area.
The results of this research will lead to a better understanding of how nanotechnology is governed in Iran and will also be used in the development of other technologies.
