  • The Jurist State and the Dilemma of the Institutionalization of Parties in Iran
    JOURNAL FOR IRANIAN STUDIES Specialized Studies A Peer-Reviewed Quarterly Periodical Journal Year 1. issue 3- June, 2017 ISSUED BY Arabian Gulf Centre for Iranian Studies www.arabiangcis.org The Jurist State and the Dilemma of the Institutionalization of Parties in Iran Mohammed Bashandi Specialist researcher in political sciences ran had been familiar with the failings of political parties and organizations before the Iranian revolution of 1979. IUnder the Shah’s regime, the religious, nationalist, and Marxist parties faced intense pressure from the country’s authorities, forcing them to work underground.1 The situation hardly changed after the revolution, following the defeat of the liberal and then the socialist movements in the wake of the uprising, with nonreligious parties ultimately failing to attain any parliamentary representation; this became effectively impossible after the new constitution imposed regulations against political parties’ work. 8 Journal for Iranian Studies º Year 1,issue 3 ,June. 2017 The Jurist State and the Dilemma of the Institutionalization of Parties in Iran Iran’s current theocratic political system is founded on the theory of the Jurist Leadership [Wilayat-Faqih], which rests on three pillars. First is the religious pillar represented by the Supreme Leader and the senior clerics who rule the country. Second is the security pillar in the form of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and the security services, which are affiliated with the Supreme Leader.2 The third is the political pillar embodied by the elected political institutions; this is the weakest of the three in terms of influence in political decision-making, which is negligible unlike the absolute power of the unelected organs of state.

    THE IRANIAN REVOlUTION Dr. M. Vedat Gürbüz Kahramanmaraş Sütçü imam Üniversitesi Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi • •• Özet İran Devrimi iran Devrimi neden ve sonuçları açısından oldukça lal1lşınalıdır. Devrim dünyadaki diğer devrimlerin çoğuyla sebepleri açısından bir benzerlik gösıerse de, sonuçları diğerlerinden farklı yönde :1 gelişmiştir. iran devrimi yıkılan düzenin yerine modern bir politik sistemi ikame cımemiştir, ancak yeni bir ideolojiyi ve politik sistemi uygulama alanına sokmuştur. iran devriminin otanıikliği, iran'ın sahip olduğu küllOrel ve sosyal yapıdan ileri gelmektedir. iran devrimi her şeyden önce Şahın oloriter reJimıne karşı girişilen bir darbe idi. Poliıik ve sosyal amiller, ekonomik yada sınıf mücadelesi temalarından çok daha güçlü olarak devrimi etkilemiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: iran Devrimi. Rastakhiz. Şiilik, Şeraiti. HumeynI. Abstract The Iranian revolution is highly conlroversia! in terms of hoth iıs causes and iıs results. Perhaps the causes of the revoluıion are similar lO ıhose of other revolutions, huı the results are very different. The Iranian revolution did not end up formulating any modern political system. But it did spawn a new ideology and political structure. The authenticity of the Iranian revolution sternmed from Iranian cu/turc and lmnian social structures. The Iranian revolution was a strike against the Shah's authoritarian regime. Political and social consequences were more effeetive in the revolution than any other economic force or elass struggle.

  • Introduction
    Notes INTRODUCTION 1. Kasravi's Tarikh-e Mashruteh-e Iran (History of the Iranian Constitution), 1961, offers the best detailed analysis of the 1906 revolution. Despite other numerous publications on the same subject, there is still dispute over the precise causes of this revolution, especially in view of the 1979 revolution, which has coloured the opinion of some analysts in Iran. 2. The Bolshevik Revolution and the eventual departure of the Russian troops together with the occupation of the north by the British forces paved the way for the imposition of the 1919 Agreement. With Lord Curzon as foreign secre­ tary, the stage was set for the launching of Curzon's most cherished political ambitions which was 'the regeneration of Persia under British tutelage as one of the friendly countries' (Wright, 1985, p. 205). Therefore, the Anglo-Persian treaty of 1919, which had been the subject of secret negotiations with Vusugh al-Dowleh, Sarem al-Dowleh and Nosrat al-Dowleh, was made public on 19 August 1919. The terms of the agreement, even though disguised, clearly showed that the country was becoming a British protectorate. According to the agreement, the Persian government was giving Britain a special position in return for a loan of £2 million at 7 per cent (Annual Register, 1919, p. 255~ Ahmad Shah, in the meantime, was rewarded by a long-awaited tour of Europe after he had fulfilled his obligation by keeping the pro-British trium­ virate of ministers in their posts to complete the necessary negotiations. However, the treaty had to be ratified by the Majlis.

  • Nimah Mazaheri State Repression in the Iranian Bazaar, 1975–1977
    Iranian Studies, volume 39, number 3, September 2006 Nimah Mazaheri State Repression in the Iranian Bazaar, 1975–1977: The Anti-Profiteering Campaign and an Impending Revolution This article examines state repression in the Iranian bazaar during the anti-profiteering campaign from 1975–1977. While many have argued that the anti-profiteering campaign helped spark the revolutionary mobilization of the bazaar itself, this article posits that scholars should also consider the notion that the campaign helped to foster popular support for the revolutionary movement as a whole. Given the bazaar’s ties to middle and lower classes of Iranian society, as well as their status as the country’s “economic barometer,” this article presents the theory that the anti-profiteering campaign played a role in generating popular discontent against the former regime in the period just prior to the 1979 Revolution. Introduction From 1975 to 1977, the Iranian government unleashed an aggressive price control campaign on the nation’s traditional commercial classes—collectively known as “the bazaar”1—in an attempt to curb rapidly rising inflation. The campaign would fail on economic levels and additionally it had severe political con- sequences for the regime of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (r. 1941–1979). As the government’s violent assault on the bazaar antagonized many wealthy and socially powerful groups of merchants—alongside drawing the public’s attention Nimah Mazaheri is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of Washington, Seattle.
