Abstract
To create global interdependence and also to emerge of a global village is assumed to be one of the most important effects of the structural transformation in economy globalization phenomenon. With regard to the growing trend of this novel phenomenon and the necessity for a broad participation of countries in international arena depicted the role of countries in international competitiveness more effectively. This article reviews the capacity for Iran export (non-oil) to region No. 2, using the “ gravity model ” during the period 2011 to 2015. The estimated results indicated that Iran amongst countries in region No. 2 had the highest potential export to Iraq and the least potential allocated to Armenia. Moreover, the highest percentage of unused capacity of Iran belonged to Azerbaijan and the lowest unused capacity referred to Armenia.
