Abstract

One of the weaknesses of policy studies is the neglect of future-oriented approaches, in this regard, the importance of future research in the policy cycle has been emphasized in many studies and researches All the studies around this issue confirm that if policy studies are done without relying on future-oriented approaches Consecutive gaps and deficiencies in the form of political approaches will become frequent However, it has not yet been determined at what levels future research knowledge can be related to policy science and what areas should be considered for the connection of these two sciences Therefore, the purpose of this article is to examine the levels of communication and link between policy making and future research as an interdisciplinary science, until it is determined to what extent and extent future research can make policy studies more productive Therefore, an attempt has been made to answer the main question, what are the levels of policy and future research? In this regard, the qualitative method of documentary analysis has been used to advance the research, and to collect data, a phishing tool has been used from various sources In this article, it is emphasized that future research knowledge should not be considered only as a tool and method in relation to policy making, but the literature and discourse governing future research should be accepted by policy makers.
