ali khodaie nansa

The current research tries to get an analytical and critical understanding of the role of modernization and modernity in the process of institutional differentiation in the first and second Pahlavi royal system. The question was also raised that, as the society has benefited from a balanced, balanced and gradual development in the transition stage from traditional to modern, it has inevitably faced institutional change and differentiation, and on the contrary, if the society has not benefited from a balanced, synchronized and gradual development process and Or one of the institutions is more powerful and has taken over the other social institutions and has faced a functional disorder and weak institutional differentiation. During the first and second Pahlavi periods, the authority and hegemony was with the institution of power, and other social institutions were under its control, and because the institution of power was dysfunctional, it prevented the healthy functioning of other institutions, and as a result, social institutions were highly dysfunctional and even During the second Pahlavi period, maximalist politics led to the authoritarianism of the regime and led to authoritarian differentiation, and the occurrence of the Islamic revolution was also somewhat affected by this institutional dysfunction of the second Pahlavi period. Considering the phenomenon of modernity, modernization and development as historical facts that are rooted in the long-term social transformations of the Iranian society has pushed the current research method to the comparative-historical and documentary method.
