Abstract
By examining the development plans and their results in Iran after the revolution, we can say that despite an abundance of natural resources and access to mineral resources of oil and gas, Iran is still not a developed country in the world economically. Therefore, this article delves into the most important structural obstacles to economic development in Iran after the Islamic Revolution. The research approach is qualitative. In terms of purpose, it is applied research. It used library studies to collect information on theoretical foundations and research literature, as well as the background of the research subject. It drew out some indicators that were theoretically relevant to the research and its components and displayed them in a pattern. First, we studied the economic development theories (modernization theory, dependency theory, world system theory, rentier government theory, Rostow's theory, Todaro's theory, and Lewis's development theory), then analyzed the development programs after the Islamic revolution, which include six programs. These programs were not similar and had variations and differences. The research drew a model to achieve economic development according to the review of the theoretical literature of the research on the sociology of the structural obstacles to development in Iran after the Islamic Revolution. It includes political development, reforming monetary and price policies, developing global trade and absorbing capital, reducing the size of the government and strengthening the private economy, increasing productivity, and developing a comprehensive plan for poverty alleviation.
