Abstract
In different societies, different models of crisis management are used to deal with the crisis, which is completely influenced by the political system that governs these societies. With the widespread spread of the corona virus, different perspectives on politics and the ability of different political systems to face new crises such as the corona have been proposed and the corona era has become a suitable benchmark for measuring the efficiency of governments and governance models; In a way, the success of governments in controlling that soft power has increased them and, conversely, their failure to control this virus has paved the way for the decline of governments' soft power. The main question that this article examines and evaluates is how Corona management can lead to an increase in soft power in the Islamic Republic of Iran? The present article is an analytical descriptive and will examine this question using the library method. To answer this question, this study examines the experience of successful Asian countries in managing the Corona crisis, including China and South Korea, to explore the key elements of their success. Studies show that the pillar of authoritative management and leadership and the existence of a unified strategy in the shadow of taking advantage of the achievements in the field of technology has helped these countries to improve their position in the field of soft power. Accordingly, this study focused on this specific issue and provided the requirements for better management of this crisis.
