According to the prevailing approach to development, the path of growth, at various micro and macro levels, is through production and focus on high value-added industries such as cultural industries.Planning and management in the process of production,distribution and consumption of cultural products is one of the most well-known and important tasks of governments in the world, which is considered as the main axis in the development of Economics of culture(DOEC).Government role-playing in EC needs characteristics to facilitate the development process. One of the most important of these indicators, which is based on the existence of institutional infrastructure, is the combined indicators of good governance(GG).The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between GG indicators and the DOEC of countries.Using the method of comparative-quantitative analysis among 20 developed and developed countries in EC and Iran, the DOEC and GG has been studied. The results show that Iran's DOEC and GG indicators are far from developed and developed countries and this indicates the underdevelopment of Iran's EC. Also, the results of correlation analysis and multiple regression show that there is a direct relationship between the index of GG and the DOEC of these countries with an acceptable intensity(R2 = 0.50).

Current situation and positions of the rural community can be the result of functional relationships and operation of the local community in relation to external factors as the state and city, which led to the transformation of the social, economic and production systems in the rural community. In this process of transformation, the traditional villages, from a closed, self-sufficient, self-managed and resilient society, based on the production and value of work, cooperative and participatory institutions and local community; has been changed to nontraditional community, which is dependent on consumption, vulnerable, based on individualism, money value and the official institutions. The idea of this paper is to review the changing process of traditional to quasi modern society and the necessity of reforming the path towards ecological sustainability of the society. This process has been investigated within the framework of the relationship between the state and the nation in terms of the concepts of local governance, sovereignty and good governance. In our view, the functional and practical currency in relation to the government is transition of local authority to rule the state. To change the situation and create a desirable society we should move towards good governance. The theoretical basis of this discussion is the idea of good governance and social and ecological views for the creation of ecologically sustainable society. The research method in this article is process review and description and analysis based on ideas, theories and practical experiences.

Rentier states, has been faced with serious political and economic problems. In these countries, A major part of their revenues not from taxes but from the sale of natural resources extracted is provided. And some certain theories for the study of political economy of that countries came into existence. These are called Rentierism theories. These theories focus on the outcomes and harmful effects of Rentierism. These Effects and Outcomes returns to different fields of economy, politics and society. These Effects and Outcomes included not only the global market volatility that undermines the national economy but also unusual empowering rentier state/government. In this study Rentierism dimensions has been identified as a counterpoint to good governance dimensions. And the pattern of good governance has been identified as a democratic alternative of Rentierism. The governance pattern was investigated in six countries that rely on rent to varying degrees. These research was conducted with comparative-historical method, based on World Bank data. The results showed that Rentierism theories has serious limitations, because a more-rentier government does not always act in such a way as undemocratic and with bad governance, and conversely a less-rentier government, does not always act in such a democratic and with good governance. Finally, offered some suggestions for the development of Rentierism theories.
