Historical sociology can be achieved as a method based on data and sequence of historical events, and historical sociology of domination as a social phenomenon can be designed and followed in different historical periods. This article has been presented with the aim of reviewing the book Historical Sociology of Iranian Dominance. Due to its features, this work, as innovative work in this field, deserves to be read. The present article has a critical review of this book in the form of the following axes: ambiguity in the title of the book, lack of correct and initial explanation of the issue of dominance, ambiguity in methodology, lack of coordination in method and text, ambiguity in the concept of historical sociology. After reflecting on the technical and editorial aspects of the work, the article concludes with the conclusion that the issue of “dominance” has been raised by the author as a historical issue and the author tries to use its sociological theories and methods. But this study shows that historical sociology is a sociological approach using historical information and data in different periods, or in other words, examines the trend of domination in different periods, not what is considered in this work as a historical approach with a sociological method.

The issue of legitimacy in the history of Iran is one of the issues that has attracted the attention of historians in recent decades. One of the most recent of these works is The evolution of the foundations of the legitimacy of the monarchy from the Mongol invasion to the rise of the Safavids. This work examines the evolution of the foundations of the legitimacy of this period in the context of a pervasive crisis of legitimacy in the form of multiple models, emphasizing that with the fall of the caliphate and the arrival of the Mongol element, the complexity of the foundations of legitimacy doubled and new inspiring foundations. It was raised for legitimacy. In addition, after the fall of the Ilkhanate, almost all special orders and organizations were damaged. Governments, with numerous features and characteristics, used various legitimizing models to justify their sovereignty. Thus, governments faced a crisis of legitimacy on the issue of the foundations of legitimacy. This article aims to critically review the above work. This study shows that the crisis of legitimacy was a major issue in the period under review, but the patterns of legitimacy were by no means based on a single pattern, but on a multifaceted, composite, and simultaneous pattern, but important indicators such as the Iranian idea of monarchy; Farah Izadi and Farah Kiani were ignored. The work is weak in terms of methodological foundations and definition of concepts and has not been able to conceptually design a comprehensive multidimensional model for the period.
