Abstract
Abstract The study of state capacity to identify social policy changes, as well as its prospects in the countries depending on oil revenues, can be regarded as a turning point in social policy studies. By changing the state capacity, which is affected by fluctuations in oil revenues, these countries can experience periods of both growth and decline of social policies. There are various ways to define and operationalize state capacity, but the extant literature on state capacity calculation and investigation relies mainly on the data available in the developed countries whose income is tax-dependent. By defining and operationalizing state capacity in Iran as an example of countries with oil revenues, this study can propose an initial model to study state capacity in countries dependent on oil revenues. The study of social policy under the effect of “fragile state capacity” in countries with oil revenues is expected to show both the process of social policy development and government interventions in providing social welfare. Additionally, it can pave the way for identifying other variables that contribute to the development and stagnation of social policies in countries most heavily reliant on oil, especially in situations of unintended crises such as the coronavirus pandemic.
