The relationship between the state and the nation is a fundamental pillar of political systems, which has faced significant challenges in "effectiveness" in recent decades. Resolving this issue requires moving beyond unilateral actions and adopting the interactive governance paradigm; an approach that assumes stakeholder participation in policy design and public service delivery. However, global models, which primarily focus on the experiences of developed democracies, lack the necessary alignment with the structural and political context of Iran. The primary objective of this research is to explain the requirements for reforming and applying interactive governance in the Islamic Republic of Iran through a synthesis of global literature and domestic experiences. Accordingly, the core issue of the study focuses on identifying structural, operational, and consequential solutions to improve the state-nation bond in the Iranian context. The research methodology is based on a "critical review" and "comparative study" of 50 selected sources (25 domestic and 25 foreign) from Scopus and Google Scholar databases over the last decade. Findings indicate that improving interactions depends on the establishment of efficient intermediary institutions. Key results are explained at three levels: at the structural level, the necessity of rearranging power centered on revolutionary institutions as "intermediary loops"; at the operational level, the transition from state stewardship to indigenous network management and advocacy; and at the consequential level, the "strengthening" of legitimacy through mutual oversight and transforming the citizen into a "co-creator." Finally, the research concludes by emphasizing the necessity of designing a desirable indigenous model and developing criteria for measuring interactive governance. It is suggested that by utilizing the capacity of philanthropists and charity organizations within a network management framework, the transition from directive governance to realistic facilitation be accelerated so that genuine public participation leads to the promotion of social capital and political legitimacy.
