Abstract

In Iran, despite the long tradition of historiography (such as the history of Tabari, the history of Bayhaqi, Akhbar al-Tawwal, etc.) due to the attacks of various tribes and numerous social divisions, history and scientific historiography has become a political chronicle. The long-standing domination of tribal governments institutionalized a kind of tribal-tribal morality and nervousness in our society. In the movements and struggles of tribal governments, Iranian society was thrown from one nervousness to another. The social and political history of Iran - in general - is a reflection of these nerves and angers. This tribal past has shaped our social psyche and in the political arena is still an important factor in how we act. If we look at the history of Iran based on this insight, the present study, with a historical study and with the help of descriptive and analytical methods, seeks an issue that has been less considered in previous researches, namely powerful forces and groups influencing order. Social in the contemporary history of Iran in the Safavid, Qajar and Pahlavi eras. The results of the present study show that the interventions of these currents with the help of rival foreign forces have been and are an important (destructive) factor in the political actions of Iranian society..
