International political approaches is always one of the most important issues in developing and developed countries. The oil industry is one of the most important industries in our country where the role of international political approaches has been very important and it has a great impact on the plans for oil extraction and production as well as exports to various countries around the world; Therefore, this study has attempted to examine the role of international political approaches as an impetus for strategic technological alliance. In this research, after studying the relevant literature and using the library method, the subject of preliminary research is discussed; then, by using qualitative approach and interviewing experts, the concepts and categories are extracted. Influences on international political approaches have been addressed as the impetus for entry into alliances. One of the important issues in this regard is the structure of political institutions, which has led to the notions of political stability and order, structural diversity and separation. Another identified category is laws and regulations derived from the concepts of legal barriers, rule of law and political risk. The third identified issue is the existence of an appropriate international political space that encompasses the concepts of policy compliance, regional security and stability, international cooperation and membership in political, economic, and international organizations.
