With the end of the Cold War, the United States, used its military, political, economic and media capacity, to implement various operations in countries involved in conflicts, which after a few years were called "nation building". This operation has been implemented in countries like Germany, Japan and Iraq with "occupation”, in countries like Somalia, Haiti and Bosnia in the name of "peacekeeping" and recently as "economic stabilization and reconstruction". The recent US approach to nation-building has been mostly implemented by development agencies such as the United States Agency for International Development and the Millennium Challenge Corporation.
Today, in the countries where the nation-building process has been carried out, the political and economic dependence on the United States attracts attention. the United States Based on the nation-building process & political and economic reforms which inhere in Nation-building, forms its target society and strengthens its desired forces in these countries to make the target country as a cog for its engine of development and a part of the puzzle of its domination over the world. In terms of nation-building, when it comes to the development of democracy, of all the versions, liberal democracy with the intended reading of the United States is chosen to implement in the target country. Also, the economic development of the target country is drawn according to its role in securing the national interests of the United States. Most of the countries in which Western nation-building has been implemented, have become single-product countries, often exporting raw materials and importing goods from the United States. Therefore, what follows during the nation-building process is the new colonialism by the Western governments, especially the United States, and globalization only means the expansion of the market for the United States' products to underdeveloped countries. What is mentioned in economic stabilization and development with titles such as “receiving international loans”, “price liberalization”, “development of the private sector” and “integration in global markets”, (is just an instrument to make target country depended) is the operation of dependence of the target countries and in other hand to affluent US factories. In the unipolar world where the United States is supposed to dominate the world, the development of other countries means they would become powerful, which will be a threat to the United States in the long run. Therefore, any program that is proposed with titles such as “infrastructural and business development” and employment is, in a deeper layer, a program for the economic development of the United States many times over.
The purpose of examining the nation-building process for the Islamic Republic is to first understand the plan of the United States to develop its influence in other countries. Nation building is a program implemented in different countries, which has gone through its stages from the point of view to the implementation. Therefore, by examining this process, we can get to know its foreseen and unforeseen issues. In the context of nation building, the United States pursues its strategic influence in the field of economy by fixing the exchange rate and pegging it to the US dollar through dollar loans and indebtedness of the target country. This action practically makes the economic stability of the target country completely dependent on the United States. If there is even the slightest disruption in the bilateral relations between the target country and the United States, great economic threats will be directed at that country. For example, in Iraq, after 15 years of US invasion, the main monetary institution of this country, the central bank, is still under the influence and supervision of the United States, and the oil revenues of this country are also kept in the central bank of the United States. Accordingly, Western nation-building with a beautiful mask promotes the development of economic and political influence of the United States.
