Abstract
The discourse of the Islamic left party believed in a state economy and activity in the cooperative sector, and did not consider the private sector to have a prominent role. The discourse of the Islamic right wing, which believed in a less governmental intervention in the economy and privatization, emerged with the victory in the 1368 presidential election and the election of the Supreme Leader. The question is, what effects did the dominance of the new discourse have on criminalization? In this article, using a descriptive-analytical method, library study, and an interdisciplinary approach, we have examined the emergence of economic discourse during the so-called Constructivist era, the interaction of Iranian legislative criminal policy actors with each other, and the formation of economic criminal laws. The findings show that the change in discourse led to a change in the list of crimes and that the economic discourse prevalent during this period had a positive role in the criminalization of certain behaviors. The article suggests that the future economic plans of political factions should be discussed in economic working groups consisting of economic and legal experts, and in light of expert review, strategies to counter economic threats should be formulated in the form of non-criminal laws, and that necessary criminalization should be achieved only as a last step.
