Therefore, his comprehensive approach to the political system of Islam in the absence of the leadership of the Infallible Imam is extroverted and cosmopolitan. That is, he considers the effort to expand the influence of Islam in the world as the original responsibility of the Islamic State beyond national borders. In Imam's view, the way to the success of such an Islamic cosmopolitan approach is to issue a revolution that has led to the realization of an efficient Islamic government. The idea of ​​export is the common ideal of most revolutions, although the type and nature of such action varies from type to type. In Imam Khomeini's political thought and life based on religious principles, export has its own characteristics. In this approach to realistic idealism, the export of the Islamic Revolution is a two-pronged strategy that, based on the interests of both parties, leads to the pursuit of national interests while pursuing transnational responsibilities. The main question is how in Imam Khomeini's thought, the Islamic State should take steps to achieve Islamic globalism, and what relation does this set of transnational responsibilities of the Islamic State have with national interests?

According to neo-conservatives, the government as an independent agent has returned to the context of social and political science studies and has been able to play an independent and active role as an active and independent agent in economic and social developments. Therefore, the institution of government is of great importance in the process of development. This article tries to answer the central question of the institutionalist method and using documentary-library sources that despite the fact that more than one hundred years have passed since the existence of the government in Iran, why is the modern government still an "institution" in Iran (especially in The period we are discussing (the Islamic Republic) has not been formed and as a result the government institution does not have the necessary efficiency in development. In response to the above question, the following hypothesis can be raised: The Islamic Revolution of Iran had a flexible beginning with the phenomenon of national government, also the form of national government meaning government mechanisms and structures formed during the Pahlavi period in the Islamic Republic was preserved. Although the nature of the regime in the Islamic Republic had an Islamic identity and governments have legal institutions, but due to the priority of macro goals and aspirations (such as the establishment of a single nation) and the survival of the changing role of oil revenues in Iran's economic and political system, the phenomenon The nation-state has not been completed and the institution of government has been poorly developed.

The discourse developments of the Islamic Revolution in the dimension of floating signs have caused a sinusoidal movement in the relationship between the discourse of the Islamic Revolution and the middle class, which in turn has led to various changes and developments in Iranian politics in the era of the Islamic Republic. The question of the present study focuses on the relationship between the discourse of the Islamic Revolution and the middle class. The hypothesis of the article is that: Due to the colorful role of the middle class in the field of modern governance, the governments of the Islamic Republic, based on their sub-discourse, have provided a beautiful answer in interaction with the middle class. The research method is descriptive-analytical and the data collection method is library. The research findings indicate that most of the sub-discourses of the Islamic Revolution, due to their floating signs, have sought to provide preferences over the traditional and new layers of the middle class, and as a result of these preferences, reduce or increase the strength and power of the middle class. Or have become its traditional and new layers.

Institutionalists refer to institutional factors such as traditions, customs, culture and religion as informal constraints and as influencing factors on individual perception, and these parameters play a role in creating social capital of individuals. Institutions are like the rules of the game in a political-social structure, and the institutional framework includes both formal institutions and informal institutions, which includes moral rules and value norms, the sum of beliefs and convictions that regulate human behavior. The institutional approach focuses on social capital as a dependent variable. According to the researches, there is a significant relationship between social capital and increasing the amount of political participation in different societies. As much as the social capital of people increases, they will have a higher chance to be in the power structure. Here, an attempt is made to explain the relationship between women's social capital and their presence in the Islamic Council.

This article is in response to the question that the approach of these jurists about the nature of government had an effect on the process of formation of constitutional monarchy. Using the descriptive-analytical method in the framework of interpretive historical sociology studies, the article believes: the lack of theoretical coherence of the jurists of the constitutional era in the face of the constitutional monarchy, gradually created boundaries in the society; In such a way that some considered the establishment of new institutions to be against the Shariah standards and to fight against it, and some believed that the preservation of the foundations of Islam depended on the establishment of such institutions. According to the findings of this research, the sanctification of political behavior under Sharia titles led the society towards social, political and legal gaps and gave a stable state to the created gaps. A situation that caused the removal of platforms for peaceful dialogue between the two groups of supporters and opponents and created disruptions in the process of institutionalizing constitutional monarchy as one of the indicators of the rule of law and overshadowed the process of political development in contemporary Iran.

Many contemporary writers, based on the status and importance of the migration phenomenon, have made this issue the basis of their works and have created a special literary approach outside the borders of the motherland with their works. Among the contemporary novelists, Reza Ghasemi should be considered among those who deeply dealt with the issue of migration. From the findings of this research, which was gathered by descriptive-analytical method, it is clear that the author was able to reflect the situation of Iranian immigrants exiled from the homeland and to be the narrator of human life today with its continuous pains and sufferings. Ghasemi's works, while having the features of postmodernist literature, depict a world in which many pillars are born of beliefs, opinions, contradictions and even superstitions of the mind of an Iranian in exile. Factors such as the distress of the narrator's mind and constant fear caused by being away from the homeland, identity crisis and cultural contradiction can be seen in all three novels of the author.

For this reason, one of the most important topics that Ayatollah Mutahhari paid special attention to, in the final years of his life, is the issue of society and history. He believed that the human tendency to social life is originated from his/her nature (Fitrah). According to him, society has a real identity and benefits from special combination; i.e., while having a unique existence and personality and nature, its components (members) have preserved their relative independence. Ayatollah Mutahhari based on his theory of Fitrah explains individual’s freedom and authority in the society. This issue plays an effective role in explaining the desirable governance, and understanding Intrinsic and non-intrinsic duties of the government. In fact, this research demonstrates that the existence of a unique personality and nature for society has important consequences. Therefore, in this article, Ayatollah Mutahhari’s theory on this matter and its consequences has been studied.

In this connection, some argue that for politics to be on the proper path, it should follow religious teachings. This article investigates the criteria of religious politics from the perspective of Ayatollah Khamenei. The main question is: Which criteria are used to characterize religious politics from the view of Ayatollah Khamenei? Here, politics appears to follow such religious teachings as justice, laws, freedom, and popular choices to take steps into the proper path. We also investigate religious politics within the framework of ontological, cognitive, and humane foundations and thus examine the criteria of religious politics accordingly. This article uses content analysis to explore the thinking vision of Ayatollah Khamenei in the area of religious politics and its criteria. Content analysis is used for observational and document-based-historical research, which falls under quantitative research in terms of what it means to be. Throughout the research, we found that if the mechanisms of the political institution are aligned with religious teachings, a desirable society appears that fulfills divine ideals, thereby laying the ground for the prosperity and development of the nation in all domains. People of this society will also achieve their ideals and fulfill true prosperity and development.

Therefore, political awareness is not a side product, but one of the main features of political science. Considering the importance of citizens' political awareness as a stable national capital, this article has been made with the aim of drawing a model of the role of political science in public political awareness by using foundational data theory. For this purpose, 18 specialized semi-structured interviews were conducted with political science professors dominated in the field of political awareness, whose text analysis in the open coding process led to the emergence of 426 initial codes related to 136 abstract concepts in the form of 25 categories. According to the findings of the article, causal conditions including political science human resources, the nature of political science, scope of action, political science groups, communication channels, professional specialties and psychological factors have the greatest impact on role-playing promotion strategies. Political science contributes to public political awareness. These strategies are secondarily affected by the components of external origin, such as the society and the government and their subcategories, which are classified as contextual and intervening factors.

In response to this question, the hypothesis that the components of religious democracy of the Islamic Revolution such as the recognition of people's rights and the rule of law have increased political participation, but there is a difference between these components in increasing political participation, is examined. The theoretical framework of this research is based on a combination of Western and Islamic theories about the role of components in increasing political participation. In line with this framework, information and data are collected qualitatively using library and documentary sources and descriptively. Analytically, reviewed and analyzed. The results showed that each of the components of the religious democracy of the Islamic Revolution has somehow increased political participation in the Islamic Republic, but between these components there has been intensity and weakness in increasing political participation in different periods. It should also be noted that the component of people's rights has been more effective in increasing political participation than the component of the rule of law. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that more measures should be taken to improve the status of these components regarding the text of the laws, because these components can provide grounds that increase or decrease the political participation of the people.
