The political thought of Iran can be divided into two parts: the old and
the new. The new era of the Iranian poliƟcal thought started 150
years ago. During this 150‐year‐old period, Iran has witnessed three
strands to its political thought. First, developmentalist political
thought, which started with Iranians’ familiarity with the West and
lasted until the World War II. That strand to the political thought in
that time was mainly concerned with compensation for political
retardation, development through constitutionalism and the
establishment of a constitutional government. The second was the
identitist political thought, which started from the World War II and
still continues. This strand is primarily involved in creating the Iranian
identity in general and the political identity in particular. The third is
the contemporary political thought, which has focused on the issues
of tradition and modernity and academic intermixture of the two.
This thought was brought up by a group of Iranian intellectuals in the
1370s. The present paper tries to idenƟfy this new poliƟcal thought
in Iran.
