Islamic Revolution Research

Abstract In the context of the poststructuralist approach, discourses determine political life and action. From this perspective, political legitimacy is formed in the light of political discourse, and by changing discourses, the semantic and normative system is transformed.
The Islamic Revolution of Iran was an emerging phenomenon that made the approach of political jurisprudence Islam the basis for the creation of a new discourse and semantic system, and in the light of which political legitimacy found a different meaning. The present article seeks to examine and analyze the concept of political legitimacy in this political discourse. The main focus will be on how political legitimacy has been formed in the discourse of the Islamic Revolution and the sub-discourses derived from this discourse, and what effect the elements of this discourse, especially the elements of "Velayat-e Faqih", "Islamism" and "Iranianness" have had in this process. .
This study tries to examine the formation of the concept of legitimacy as a normative norm in the relationship between judgment and obedience in the framework of the discourse of the Islamic Revolution and the resulting sub-discourses by adhering to a method rather than ontological to Foucault's genealogical approach and discourse analysis.

Abstract This article analyzes Peter Mandeville's views and the criticisms raised by the Islamic Revolution regarding the role of Saudi Wahhabism in world peace. Mandeville is a prominent scholar in the field of politics and religion. He sees the promotion of Wahhabism under the financial and strategic support of Saudi Arabia as being based on a complex interaction between the Saudi government and religious institutions. From Mandeville's perspective, Saudi religious transnationalism, in the sense of "exporting Wahhabism," has affected dozens of countries and created risks for world peace. At the same time, the local context and environmental conditions have caused the entry of Wahhabism into each country to take on a specific form. In different countries, local factors have welcomed Wahhabism due to economic interests. These effects should be examined and their patterns extracted. By stopping the export of Wahhabism through Saudi support, it is hoped that the global effects resulting from the promotion of Wahhabism in that local context will stop and we will once again witness world peace in these regions. Mandeville specifically outlines some of these patterns. Here, we present these patterns and critique his views from the perspective of the Islamic Revolution. The results of this study show that the Saudi shift from Wahhabi extremism to secular Islam can reduce regional tensions. In the next section, the article addresses criticisms of the Islamic Revolution that see Wahhabism as a tool to counter Iranian and Shiite influence. This section emphasizes the destructive effects of Wahhabism on global peace and its role in promoting hatred and terrorism, as well as the spread of violence and division among the Muslim Ummah. The article emphasizes that recent changes in Saudi Arabia’s domestic and foreign policies can play an important role in reducing global tensions and promoting peace.

Abstract One of the disputes of political factions in countries in foreign policy is whether the government has been able to adopt a dignified foreign behavior or not. In the Islamic Republic, due to the nature of the Islamic Revolution, this question has been very controversial, and sometimes it has been considered one of the main factors in the establishment or dismissal of a government. When the supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, emphasized the three principles of "honor, wisdom, expediency" in foreign policy, this matter was more and more noticed by politicians and political activists. While political factions have been using this term for and against each other for more than forty years, at the same time, this term has not been scientifically conceptualized, and its characteristics are a matter of controversy. Since the difference of philosophies will lead to the difference of concepts and indicators, in this article the concept of honor in foreign policy will be discussed and analyzed from the perspective of the revolutionary leader Ayatollah Khamenei. To answer this question, what are the indicators of dignity in foreign policy from the point of view of the leader of the revolution, the method of analyzing the content of the leadership's statements was used. From the set of extracted components, indicators such as maintaining territorial integrity, observing Islamic rules, protecting the rights of the nation, or disregarding the great powers have been obtained.

Abstract Justice has been a significant part of topics of Islamic thought and different schools of thought and various figures have addressed it from different perspectives ( statement of the problem). Understanding the status of justice in social and political arenas is significant, since its implementation and establishment in society guarantees the realization of people’s true happiness and achievement of a good and optimal society (purpose of the study). Thus, the study aims to find an answer to a basic question: regarding the centrality of the concept of justice in ancient Iran’s school of thought and Islamic thought, how can its relation be theoretically and conceptually formulated- especially, based on Imam Ali’s thoughts recorded in His book, Nahj al-Balagha - and how can it be analyzed from different aspects? (Research question). The descriptive- analytical method and library resources, as well as, the hermeneutic model of Leo Strauss’s text- oriented cryptography were used (methodology). The findings indicate that the concept of justice in ancient Iran’s school of thought is logically related to concepts such as truth Asa, king’s grandeur Xvarnah, and functionality svadharma . In fact, it means being aligned with truth (اشه)– the order of existence and cosmic law. In Nahj al-Balagha, with reference to authentic Islamic resources, justice is closely related to the word Qast in the Quran. From the social perspective, a grandiose king defines justice as security as well as protection of cosmic order and equilibrium of existence. However, based on Nahj al-Balagha teachings, justice has intrinsic value, and is defined as the public policy, which can be inferred as social justice as well (findings of the study).

Abstract In countries with a democratic political system, the holding of elections and the level of participation are among the most important indicators of the political system.Its importance has caused many political studies to focus on this phenomenon.This research,with an interdisciplinary analysis and by applying Seligman's "learned helplessness" theory,explained the results of the reduction in the Islamic Parliment elections in 2018;According to this theory,the decrease in the participation rate should be sought in the experience of previous psychological failures,for which we will go to trends and events:Various political changes during the 4 decades of the establishment of the IRI system,due to the lack of sufficient ability to realize the slogans,made a significant part of the society desperate to achieve their wishes And the bitter events,occurred in the 2 years leading to the 11th parliamentary elections,caused the psychological atmosphere of the society to move towards the inability to influence the political arena. Successive failures teach people to become helpless and finally lead them to the abyss of passivity,which in the 2018 elections,this passivity was the product of turning away from political discourses and tolerance of frequent impactful events, which manifested itself in indifference and expressed non-participation.
