Abstract

The declaration of the second step of the Islamic Revolution is an upstream document, Iran's grand strategy after forty years of the Islamic Revolution. The content of the statement of the second step of the Islamic revolution is to examine the current situation and draw the ideal future from the perspective of the leader of the revolution, which can be the solution to many questions of researchers. The research problem is that with the Islamic Revolution of Iran, the government structure of the Islamic Republic of Iran was formed based on religious democracy. Naturally, the goals of a structure will never be achieved without virtuous citizens. According to the pathological and forward-looking approach of the second step statement, the point of ambiguity is what are the dimensions and virtues of desirable citizenship in the statement of the second step of the Islamic revolution? In this article, with the method of theme analysis and the use of MAXQDA software, dimensions and virtues have been identified as overarching themes, and seven organizing categories have been counted under them, and the basic themes are included in this category. One of the most important findings of the article is that, firstly, the dimensions of citizenship have changed and improved compared to the last few decades of the Islamic Revolution, and also the citizen in the statement of the second step is a strategic component that can bring the Islamic Republic into new structural patterns.
