Abstract

Transparency as one of the emerging concepts in the last century has been considered by many scholars as one of the characteristics of good governance. In Islamic research, a lot of research has been done on the application of the characteristics of good governance with Islamic thought. This study, entitled "The place of transparency in good governance in Ayatollah Khamenei (as)", examines and adapts the component of transparency in the rule and thought of Ayatollah Khamenei (as), based on the study model of good governance in Alavi thought. Deals with the basis of the book Nahj al-Balaghah. This article seeks to answer the question of what place transparency has in the thought and rule of Imam Khomeini. For this research, content analysis method has been used as one of the most widely used data analysis methods. After the study, transparency in Ayatollah Khamenei's thought was divided into two sections: "The content of transparency in Ayatollah Khamenei's thought and rule" and "The requirements for transparency in Ayatollah Khamenei's thought and rule" and The results of the research show that in the thought of Ayatollah Khamenei, transparency has been mentioned and emphasized in the words and manners of the Amir (AS) before it has been proposed by Western centers and thinkers, and in accordance with Alavi thought, Transparency in their thinking and governance is accepted and emphasized. Considering the change of governance tools and the expansion of the concepts of popular participation and public opinion and accountability, as well as the expansion of transparency tools in the present era compared to the era of Amir al-Mu'minin (AS), we can extract more statements under the concept of transparency in Ayatollah Khamenei's thought and rule. (Modzaleh Al-Aali) paid that other researchers can achieve this without a comparative study.
