Although various components and factors can be involved and influential in the underdevelopment of this region, but the article hypothesis, wrong policies and decisions of the elites and the continuation of government rentier construction as important causes of underdevelopment in the province and emphasize it. he does. The purpose of this study is to analyze, explain and analyze the consequences of economic development policy of the ninth and tenth governments in Khuzestan province. The government's economic policies have been implemented for reasons such as not paying attention to the requirements of practical and economic rationality and paying too much attention to the requirements of political rationality, different from what was promised and expected. Findings show that due to the policy of the government, more than fifty percent of important industrial and production centers and units in Khuzestan province face serious and fundamental challenges such as; Stagnation, closure or forced cessation of the production process. These challenges led to a decline in development indicators and, consequently, to social anomalies and a waste of intergenerational capital and rights.
