Countless historical evidences show that the issue of Iranian women's political participation has its roots in the religious culture of Shiism, without having anything to do with the women's movement in Europe and the West. The ideology governing the European women's movement was based on feminism and secularism, but these principles did not have a foundation among the women who participated in the constitutional movement as well as the Islamic revolution. Political culture reveals the structures and meaning of the political arena in the same way that culture in general clarifies the correlation of the integration of the life of political culture. The method of this research was discourse analysis with reference to Ayatollah Khamenei's statements based on the opinions of Lakla and Moff. Considering the components of the political culture in Iran, such as the culture of authoritarianism/citizenship, women's political participation has decreased in history. had.

In fact, their thoughts have relied on hostile actions against infidels, hypocrites and polytheists to achieve the goals of this group, and the caliphate of ISIS has also gone through various changes in the political Islam of New Salafism based on the caliphate of ISIS, fighting and excommunication and intensifying violence. Along with sedition in the world of Islam, the Islamic world has faced many problems. On the other hand, we have Shia political Islam based on the Imamate and the approaches of the Islamic Revolution, and in this regard, it should be acknowledged that the connection between religion and politics is always one of the principles and line of thought of the revolution. It has been Islamic, and the leadership and the Islamic Republic is based on it, which is a symbol of identity and cultural resistance, one of the most important features of the Islamic Revolution under the leadership of Imam Khomeini is that it is political, therefore, the desired Islam is the Islamic Revolution that has been implemented in practice and Achieve sovereignty Bottom line, Islam is political.

In this connection, various bodies have been founded for materializing it. Thus, the main research question is: How is the Islamic Republic of Iran’s approach formed towards social justice? The methodology of the research is descriptive-analytical that falls under qualitative researches, as data are gathered through library sources. The article hypothesizes that the subject of social justice in the Islamic Republic’s policies, especially in its institutional aspects, is founded on the distributive justice through the Relief Foundation. Research results reveal that policies adopted by post-revolution administrations, as well as the upstream documents have selectively been based on various social justice indicators, which focused on economic protection and support for the vulnerable groups. However, the Relief Foundation’s approach to establishing social justice through such plans as employment and fighting poverty, consistent with the views of Imam Khomeini on distributive justice, was based on competence, collaboration in social plans, and serving the society.

The findings indicate that from the interviewees’ perspective, lack of attraction of foreign capital, capital flight, brain drain, lack of a national consensus on development, emphasis on ideology instead of nationalism, the existence of rentier rule, and lack of attention paid to political freedoms are considered as the most important factors affecting the failure to achieve an optimal level of production and welfare in the period after the Islamic Revolution. In addition, from the viewpoint of the experts, the high volume of liquidity, the increase in exchange rates, the instability of monetary policies, the high-interest rates, and the bankruptcy of banks are considered as the consequences of wrong monetary and price policies which affect economic growth.

Based on this, ...  Read More As long as the Islamic revolution continues on its true path, it will benefit from its inner richness in various fields and its functional dimensions will also increase. Based on this, it can be claimed that whenever the revolution moved on its true path, it achieved political functions, the set of which functions are unique in the divine-monotheistic system, and so far no system in the world has been able to achieve it. So far, there has been little talk about the fields of improving the political functions of the revolution in the society, based on this necessity, the author in this work will seek to explain these functions with a descriptive-analytical method, and finally he has come to the conclusion that the political functions of the revolution In internal and external dimensions, it depends on its movement in the discourse based on which it was created. Therefore, whenever the revolution deviates from its intended main track, its political functions will also decrease and naturally, it will bring a wave of public dissatisfaction.

Corruption is a global phenomenon and no society can be safe from corruption and its consequences. The reason for this universality is that the roots of corruption are the same in different societies. Therefore, as a product of these common roots, corruption will naturally grow everywhere. This research sought to answer the question, what is the relationship between the perception of social justice and its dimensions (proportionality, equality) and the perception of corruption and its dimensions among the citizens of Sari city in Mazandaran province? In this research, the theories of Rawls, Hume, Harvey, Giddens, Weber, Pareto, and Durkheim were used to explain the impact of social justice on the perception of corruption. The required data were collected from a statistical sample of 400 people using a survey method and a questionnaire tool. Is. SPSS software was used for data analysis. The results of the research show that there is a significant relationship between the dimensions of the justice perception variable and the corruption perception variable. Examining the relationship between the variables indicates that there is an inverse and negative correlation between the variables, the impact of social justice perception dimensions on corruption perception was almost equal (0.82). The results of the research confirm the ideas presented in the theoretical framework and are in line with previous researches.

Pathology of constructive student criticism of the decisions of the twelfth government of the Islamic Republic of Iran

Volume 3, Issue 1 , June 2022, , Pages 201-217

Abstract

  Students have always been introduced as a critical class in society; Criticisms that, if properly presented and properly exploited, can pave the way for faster development of the country, ...  Read More Students have always been introduced as a critical class in society; Criticisms that, if properly presented and properly exploited, can pave the way for faster development of the country, especially the executive affairs, which are the most important and effective actions of the government, and if not properly presented, can spread immorality and destruction to foreign media propaganda against the country's executive structures. With this assumption, the present study randomly seeks the opinions of 274 students until they reach scientific saturation regarding criticism of the decisions and actions of the twelfth government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and then examines their opinions through content analysis. The conclusion is that the lack of constructive criticism can be divided into two categories of structural defects and individual weakness. Of course, satisfaction is also a factor that has prevented the formation of constructive criticism.Structural factors are divided into a sense of ineffective criticism, a sense of not hearing criticism, a sense of fear, and a lack of a legal solution to criticism. Inability to criticize, ignorance, indifference and apathy are among the individual weaknesses of critics, and satisfaction with living conditions, more attention to opportunities and acceptance of government decisions are factors that prevent the formation of constructive criticism by creating satisfaction.

This research seeks to answer the main question of how the political satire of Gol Agha weekly has influenced the political development of Iran between 1997-2002. The hypothesis that was investigated based on the study is that "the political satire of the Gol Agha weekly has provided a platform for criticism and tolerance and as a result the promotion of the political development of Iran in the years 1997 to 2002" The analysis of the content of the Gol Agha weekly newspaper has been carried out by documentary, library and interview methods.

It was in good condition. According to the examination of the common themes of the reform era and the Gol-Agha weekly, its influence on political development is clearly evident, so that the political humor of the Gol-Agha weekly can be seen as a mirror of the whole view of the reform era's preoccupations without any dark and dark parts.

This article is descriptive-analytical and uses a library method. In the last hundred years, Iranian society has undergone profound changes, which have been the result of the collision of the constituent elements of society in Iran. To understand these developments, one should focus on the constituent elements of Iranian society and its active and passive forces and classes. In Iran, it is possible to refer to three structures, tribal-nomadic, rural, and urban, that each of them has forces and classes within it, and governments are formed from the collision of these forces and classes. Most of the governments in Iran were formed based on the same patriarchal and tribal relations, but in the new era, due to the changes that have occurred, the influence of the traditional classes was less and passive, and the new classes became more active and formed the modern state in Iran. Of course, in recent centuries, the government, which was dependent on the classes, has reduced its dependence on these forces by acquiring new resources and has tried to change and relocate them. In this article, we intend to study the class structure of Iranian society and the relationships, and their forces, actions, and reactions in the creation of the modern state.
