Abstract

This article was researched and compiled by examining the relationship between economic development and partisanship before the revolution. The question was whether the parties played a role in Iran's economic development before the Islamic Revolution? In terms of methodology, the research is of qualitative and analytical type, which is done by the method of broker structure. The data collection tool was also a summary, a summary. Studies have shown that partisanship in pre-revolutionary Iran is more about political development than economic development. Before the revolution, the parties sought socialism under the rule of society and liberalism under the rule. Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was ostensibly committed to the party system, but he wanted the parties in line with his goals until he succeeded in achieving a one-party system. Prior to this, the formation of parties and their access to decision-making seats was usually done in consultation with and under the supervision of the Shah. Pre-revolutionary development and economic planning was within the framework of the White Revolution and its nineteen-article charter and development plans, which were compiled by the Program and Budget Organization. In other words, it was not a party planning system, but an agent structure.
