article reevaluates the Iranian Revolution as a modern movement. Modern
revolutionary movements spark with an ideological discourse reinforcing
class-consciousness; flourish upon growing sentiments of nationalism, and
mobilize masses with a trigger that deepens the estrangement between state and
society. In terms of its initial motivations, the Iranian Revolution was a
modern political movement. In the Iranian case, ideological discourse targeted
political elites favoring certain segments of the society, and planted the
first seeds of hostility towards Shah’s regime and its foreign supporters.
Modernization reforms and nationalization policies of the 1920-1955 period gave
birth to common nationalist sentiments among influential and discontented
social groups strengthening their reaction against the regime. Finally, the
regime’s decision to allocate growing oil revenues after the 1973 oil crisis to
heavy industry investments and military modernization programs instead of
social development projects deepened the estrangement between state and society
mobilizing masses towards a revolutionary movement. |
