Abstract This article examines the role of economic policies on market modernization in Iran after the Islamic Revolution. The main research question is which economic policies have had the greatest impact on accelerating or slowing down the process of market modernization in Iran? The main hypothesis is that economic policies, especially in the fields of trade and industry, have not only affected the market structure but also shaped the discourses of power and knowledge in society. The market in Iran is an institution with multiple functions that plays an important role in the economic, political, and cultural life of society. The aim of this research is to analyze the impact of economic policies on market structure and identify the challenges and opportunities in this field. The research methodology includes analyzing economic data and interviewing experts in the fields of economics and markets. However, at the same time, there are also challenges such as cultural mismatch and infrastructure problems. Using a qualitative research method and existing data analysis, this article examines the positive and negative impacts of modernization on the Iranian market. The research findings show that economic policies, especially in the field of facilitating access to technology and supporting entrepreneurship, have had a significant positive impact on the modernization process. Finally, it is suggested that to improve the market modernization process, policymakers should pay more attention to developing comprehensive and coordinated economic policies and focus on strengthening economic and social infrastructure.

Abstract Social justice has been a long-standing demand in Iran's contemporary history, which entered Iran's political culture since the constitutional revolution and under the left discourse. During the second Pahlavi period, the desire for justice was strongly intertwined with political trends and found deep connections with the issue of political legitimacy. This led to the delegitimization of the established regime with a justice-seeking approach and the use of justice policy as a sociological source of legitimacy in the alternative system. In the following article, the mentioned historical process is analyzed with a sociological approach and descriptive and analytical method. The article aims to answer the question that how the distributive justice policy directed towards the poor, became one of the most important sources of legitimacy in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The findings of the research indicate that the aforementioned policy is not the exclusive creation of the Islamic Republic, but rather the product of a historical process that the majority of contemporary Iranian political forces have played a role in creating it. The Islamic Republic of Iran has had the opportunity to take advantage of this legitimizing source due to its wide base among the lower classes since its establishment.Analyzing the link between political legitimacy and social justice as a historical matter, from before to after the revolution, is the main goal of this research.

Abstract The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the impact of the third model of Muslim women on political culture. 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.

Abstract parties and organizations. So, the question that arises here is how to analyze and examine the position of constitutional agents in the failure of this movement with a sociological approach? The hypothesis of the research is that the internal contradictions and obvious contradictions in the actions of the groups involved in this revolution are considered the main reason for the failure of this movement. The results of the research show that the lack of a correct definition of the constitution, the transformation of constitutionalism into the formation of a new state in the form of a powerful person (here Reza Shah), the contradictions and divisions of the institution of the clergy, as well as the challenge of the clergy with the complete introduction of concepts and values Western influence - which was in conflict with Islamic values - to the Iranian society, the intervention of foreign powers and the control of the process of constitutional changes caused the failure of the constitution, and the final result was the birth of a new dictatorship from its heart. The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical, and the data was collected in a library and survey method.
