Iran’s national income has been relied substantially on oil since 1960s. This study examines the state’s policy-making on bureaucracy institution in two varying time periods: 1972–1976 and 2004 –2009. These are two time periods that represent fundamental differences from historical, ideological and structural perspectives. Accordingly, this study examines whether the effects of oil income on state’s policy-making in bureaucracy institution vary across these two time periods. Theoretically, the present study is based on the weak state theory developed by Karl Lynn Terry. It refers to the state’s weak institutional frameworks and the lack of efficient infrastructures established over a long historical time. Methodologically, this study employs the comparative retrospective method and uses the technique of path dependency and the method of agreement table developed by Mill in order to compare research findings.
According to the results of this study, there are almost similar patterns of state’s policy-making on bureaucracy institution in two varying time periods: 1972–1976 and 2004 –2009. Further, the results from a historical perspective indicate that the weak state is the most important factor, while the partial effect of two other factors, including the presence of rentier state and the spectacular increase in oil price, should be also taken into account.

From 40’s on, Iran has earned most of its revenue from oil. Oil prices have seen multiplying increases in certain periods. During the time of these increases, contrary to the expectation that this increased revenue be spent on development, the policies employed by the state have created more issues and problems for the country. The state policies during oil booms have a direct effect on social institutions and the institutional framework. In this study, the effect of state policies on social institutions of economy and politics during the years 1973-1977 and 2005-2010 shall be investigated. The main question of the study is the reason for the similarities in state policies for social institutions during these two periods. The purpose is to recognize the reasons regarding why these two governments, despite their ideological, structural and historical differences, have taken similar decisions during oil price shocks, and that these policies produce similar results. In order to investigate the issue at hand, Terry Lynn Karl’s Weak State theory has been used, and the Rentier State theory has been employed as an essential reason but not a sufficient one. The method of study is comparative-historical. The path-dependency technique has been used for the historical study of the weak state, and to compare the findings a contingency table has been created. The findings show that through the historical study of the issue, the weak state presents itself as the main reason, and the rentier state and the multiplication of oil prices serve as essential reasons but not sufficient ones regarding the issue

The purpose of this paper is to explain the sociological analysis of the divide of Iran in Qajar age. So by bringing up the question “the divide in Qajar age is the product of central government weakness or change the balance of power in central governments in the capitalist world (global) system” use sociological approach to study this socio-historical reality. Accordingly, this paper argues that the dissociation of some parts of Iran and geographical change in the country in Qajar age is a social change that according to Valrshtayn the change is took into account in the texture of a global system historically. For this purpose, In explaining the factors affecting the separation, The role of internal factors and external factors both are examined. The research method is historical case study and the data collection method is the library collection.
