Social Reality of Citizenship in Iran

The main task of this paper is to analyse and explicate the social reality of citizenship in post-Revolutionary Iran. It aims to provide a sociological analysis concerning the formation process of citizenship in Iran along with citizenship-forming mechanisms. It is the configuration of citizenship, as a modern phenomenon in post-Revolutionary Iran, in its social type, social content, social form and social domain, that is considered here, seen through its civil, political and social aspects. The social theory of citizenship, constitutes the theoretical framework, and the method is historical sociology. The article sets forth three questions concerning the nature of processes affecting citizenship formation and examines mechanisms influencing it, among which are structures of citizenship configuration, and three related hypotheses. These hypotheses would indicate the efficacy impact of the discourse between the substantive (legislative) and constitutional laws. They also look at the orientation of developement pains, and formation of modern socio-political demnads.
