In one way, public policy scholarship has enriched considerably and stage heuristics approach (problem identification. Proposing, affirmation, implementation, and evaluation) has replaced by new theoretical views such as punctuated equilibrium theory, advocacy coalition framework, multiple streams framework, policy diffusion model, and so on. On the other way, there are three emergent research streams in policy scholarship: (1) using theoretical views on different policy areas and then comparing their explanatory power, (2) comparing theoretical views together, and (3) combing and integrating them to achieve grand theoretical view. Yet, examinations revealed that Iranian policy scholars only use policy stage heuristic as an analytical lens and don’t consider testing, critiquing, and developing new theoretical lens of policy process. In this regard, we have recommended many guidelines to tuning up and accelerating policy studies in Iran.
