During the Cold War period Iran treated South-South cooperation as an instrument for providing an independent foreign policy and defending the rights of “oppressed” peoples from the influence of colonizers and imperialists. Nowadays this vector of cooperation is used by Iran as tool for gaining regional superiority in the Middle East and the Muslim world in general. This article describes the Iranian foreign policy strategy and determinants from the Shah Pahlavi period until Hassan Rouhani presidency in order to assess whether the tools used to foster South-South cooperation for becoming regional power and achieving international recognition by the international community were useful. The author uses qualitative methodology in order to answer the following research questions: to analyze the Iran’s foreign policy literature, to identify the SSC initiatives in the post-bipolar era during the presidency of Hashemi Rafsanjani, Khatami, Ahmadinejad and Rouhani, to explain the essence of “non-aligned strategy” and third-worldism. The article also covers the participation of Iran in the international institutions of the Global South, including Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), G77, etc.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Исламская Республика Иран является одним из наиболее активных участников в формате сотрудничества Юг-Юг. В годы холодной войны сотрудничество Юг-Юг выступало для Ирана способом обеспечения независимой внешней политики и защиты прав «обездоленных» народов от угнетения со стороны колонизаторов и империалистов. В настоящее время это сотрудничество является инструментом борьбы Ирана за региональное превосходство на Ближнем Востоке и в мусульманском мире. В статье рассмотрены иранские внешнеполитические стратегии и детерминанты с периода правления шаха Пехлеви вплоть до президентства Хасана Роухани. Цель статьи состоит в том, чтобы оценить, были ли полезны инструменты, используемые для содействия сотрудничеству Юг-Юг в качестве средства достижения международного признания, для реализации долгосрочной цели внешней политики Ирана по превращению в региональную державу, принятую и признанную всем международным сообществом. Автор использует качественные методы, анализируя литературу по внешней политике Ирана, особенности иранских инициатив в рамках сотрудничества Юг-Юг в постбиполярную эпоху в годы президентства А.А. Хашеми Рафсанджани, М. Хатами, М. Ахмадинежада и Х. Роухани, объясняя суть стратегии «неприсоединения» и тьер-мондизма в иранской внешней политике. В статье также рассматривается деятельность Ирана в международных организациях «Глобального Юга», таких как Движение неприсоединения (ДН), Организация исламского сотрудничества (ОИС), «Группа 77» и т.д.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Iran</kwd><kwd>South</kwd><kwd>South cooperation</kwd><kwd>the Islamic Revolution</kwd><kwd>“non-aligned strategy”</kwd><kwd>the “Dialogue among Civilizations” (DaC)</kwd><kwd>third-worldism</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Иран</kwd><kwd>сотрудничество Юг</kwd><kwd>Юг</kwd><kwd>«исламская революция»</kwd><kwd>стратегия «неприсоединения»</kwd><kwd>«Диалог цивилизаций»</kwd><kwd>тьер-мондизм</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><award-id></award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Afrasiabi, K.
