Abstract The emergence of social divisions have been effective in the emergence of social-political currents, determining the type of political, party, electoral systems and the nature and process of competitions, etc. Political-social competition of political-party and civil organizations and political-social currents in modern societies claiming democracy is inevitable. This thesis seeks to answer this basic question with explanatory-analytical and descriptive method, why the participation and competition of political, social and intellectual currents in Iran is mainly due to the crisis of institutional trust (to civil institutions and political organizations) since the middle of the 1370s. Has it lasted until 1400? The hypothesis of the research is that inflexible polarization and power-hungry, law-abiding, non-transparent, unorganized and non-committed to civil and democratic principles and ethics, national independence and cohesion lead to a crisis of institutional trust in the government and civil institutions, lack of peaceful political dynamism. It has been in the political processes of the country. The findings of this research show that the polarization between two competing social and political currents, fundamentalist and reformist, leads to relative instability in the social-political system of the society, a significant decrease in social capital centered on public trust in political-party currents and It has even been ruled.

Abstract Understanding the dimensions of the clergy and the attitude of this institution to the concept of democracy is an important chapter in the political history of Iran, especially after the Islamic Revolution of Iran, in which for the first time political power was given to this religious institution. Accordingly, the main purpose of this article is to answer the question of how the traditional clergy has understood democracy? To answer this question, using David Held's models of democracy, we hypothesized that the traditional clergy, rejecting modernity and the theoretical foundations of democracy based on a kind of petrified, petrified and traditional Islam, had an authoritarian and conservative view of democracy. This article has selected Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi as the representative of the traditionalist clergy with a qualitative method and has tested David Held based on the seven indicators of democracy. Studies have shown that the traditionalist clergy, represented by Ayatollah Mesbah, based on traditional jurisprudence and with an apparent interpretation of Shari'a, has resisted democracy and its components, and as long as this spectrum of clergy is a relation and a dialectical bridge between religious and traditional rationality. If it does not establish democracy with a new rationality, the Shiite world will face the danger of fundamentalism with its spiritual representatives.

Abstract The attitude and understanding of the political elites has played a significant role in the formulation of governmental institutions and organizations in every period of the political history of Islamic countries, especially countries undergoing political transition. In this period of modern Islamic movements in Muslim countries, the role and impact of political elites was of great importance. The necessity and importance of this role is clearly evident in how to explain and interpret the concepts, values, institutions, pillars, laws, management, efficiency, acceptability and ultimately the desirability of the government influenced by the vision of the political elites. The research method is descriptive-analytical and based on the library collection method. The article deals with this important and fundamental question, what is the role of political elites in the institutionalization of modern Islamic movements in the Islamic world? The main hypothesis is that the strategic nature and management of political elites in modern Islamic movements with regard to optimal decision-making, political self-confidence, strengthening of Islamic identity and efficient institution building in Islamic movements leads to the design of authentic and revolutionary Islamic government models. Due to the lack of attitude and comprehensive understanding of the political elites of authentic Islamic teachings and concepts, innovation in political decisions, deviation in the path of identification of popular uprisings, many Islamic movements in the Islamic world have faced the characteristic of lack of institutionalization.

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

Pages 201-217

mehdi bigdeloo

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, 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.

Abstract During the Pahlavi era, the horizontal relationship between the classes and the government changed to a vertical relationship. By obtaining independent resources from society, the government tried to create classification and class movements and decided to create a strong social base for itself. The following article is descriptive-analytical and has investigated the mentioned topic using the library method. The government of Mohammad Reza Shah tried to sideline the influential and historical classes by emphasizing the development programs. These policies, in addition to creating new opportunities and political and economic situations for some classes, limited the opportunities and positions of the traditional classes of Iran. By initiating the land reforms plan, setting aside the nobles and Khans, marginalizing the element of religion and the clergy, and prioritizing industrial development, Shah tried to set aside the traditional market from political-social developments in Iranian society and decided to create a strong base among the peasants, intellectuals and the industrial capitalist class. But due to conflicting development policies, he could not succeed in this matter, and over time, with the shift of classes, newer demands arose that contradicted the legitimacy of the regime of Mohammad Reza Shah, and therefore, this factor caused the fall of this regime. This article seeks to evaluate the impact of Mohammad Reza Shah's policies and their role on social classes.

Abstract The constitutional movement, which took place with the aim of establishing the rule of law and the nation in 1285, is considered an important movement and a turning point in the contemporary history of Iran. During this movement, many associations and political groups were formed; But none of them could make a positive move towards establishing a stable democracy and civil society. In this research, we are looking for a sociological explanation of the failure of the elites and the masses in the first participatory experience and its impact on the political development of Iran in the constitutional era and after the Islamic Revolution of Iran. In order to analyze this issue, Huntington's theory and the theory of social gaps are used. The author is of the opinion that characteristics such as the ignorance of the masses, the elevation of intellectuals and their failure to bring the masses together, and on the other hand, ideological conflicts and unorganized competitions of elites and parties lead to failure. became.
