Abstract
 


 




The concept of special extractive work is actually the resources that all political systems, even the simplest ones, take from their environment. The most common form of resource extraction in today's countries is taxation. The purpose of special distribution is the distribution of various types of money, goods, services and opportunities by government organizations among individuals and groups in society. In this research, the author seeks to examine the impact of oil revenues on the extractive and distributional features of the political system in the two countries of Iran and Norway, each of which benefit from a significant amount of natural resources. But it seems that the impact of income from these sources was completely different in these two countries. In fact, the main question is what effect oil revenues have on the political system of the above two countries. In this research, by using the comparative method, we seek to specifically examine this effect on the two special tasks of extraction and distribution of the political system. It seems that oil revenues under the influence of factors such as the degree of development, the quality of governance institutions and the way of management have left a double and different impact on these special tasks in Iran and Norway. In the research process, other questions are tried to be answered, such as; What is resource disaster theory? The different performance of countries with natural resources is rooted in what factors? What is the difference between the oil history of Iran and Norway? There are three main types of comparative analysis in social sciences; Case studies of countries in a comparative framework, systematic studies of a small number of countries and global comparison based on statistical analysis. In this research, the third approach has been used, in which we are faced with two approaches: "comparing relatively similar countries" and "comparing relatively different countries".
