As an event, the Islamic Revolution of Iran is seen as intertwined series of various factors and as a flow, it is considered as a nominal figure of innumerable events. Obviously, extensive studies are needed to study the broad dimensions of such a phenomenon. The present article aims at understanding the aspects of the political studies of the Islamic Revolution in the context of the interdisciplinary doctoral study and which is being implemented. In this perspective, the main question of the present study is how has the field of political studies of the Islamic Revolution been able to gain a comprehensive understanding of the political epistemological domain of the Islamic Revolution? The findings of the research based on qualitative method analysis and documentary studies, the data collection of which was based on notetaking tools show that the placement of the concept of Islamic Revolution at the intersection of four methodological fields of political thought of Islamic Revolution leaders, political sociology of Islamic Republic, futures study of Islamic revolution , and the reflection of the Islamic Revolution has succeeded in achieving a proper understanding of the political aspect of the Islamic Revolution as a coherent model by applying four different and, of course, cross-sectional methods.

We briefly reviewed and criticized David Beetham’s book of “Max Weber and the Theory of Modern Politics”. This work produces the most comprehensive framework about Max Weber’s political theory with and analytical method and a historical perspective. It studies the review of the central concern of Weber to prospects for the liberal parliament in the authoritarian societies in the era of mass politics and bureaucratic organizations. It shows how this concern has led him to review the theory of democracy.The special feature of this book is the full dominance of the writer about the widespread German works in Weber’s political thought of. This book is an authoritative guide about Max Weber’s political philosophy. Although it relatively has a logical structure, it is rather understandable and it is away from complexity, grandiloquence, literary gravity and ambiguity. Moderation approach governs it. This book needs to be reviewed and criticized like any other scientific works. So, we have reviewed this book, based on the rational and methodical criteria, and we have tried to express as far as possible its advantages and disadvantages without prejudice and ignorance.

In this article, we have dealt with a critique and the relationship between terror and contemplation based on the Eagleton, Habermas, Derrida, Chomsky' viewpoints in the book" terror and contemplation". Since the present book revolves around different and sometimes opposite viewpoints about controversial ideas in political sciences (terror and contemplation), a theoretical challenge about a single phenomenon (such as September 11th event) is introduced to the readers; therefore, a complicated mentality is provided for readers to reflect more on the twisted societal phenomena. In a general criticism, all of the above-mentioned viewpoints about a historiography of a terrorist event (each one from a specific perspective) have their own defects, and this has been acting as a block against making a comparison between terror and contemplation; consequently, it leads to better understand the phenomenon with different dimensions, and in the critiques, an attempt has been made to pay attention to it.

This study is intended to have a critical view on “the History of Political Thought in Islam”. This book is a reference for the students and researchers of history and political sciences. The writer has explained formal, theoretical, and scientific content of the book. Then, he has tried to evaluate its features to assess its specific appropriateness to be studied and taught as a textbook for Islamic political thought. The results indicated that the book contains several advantageous properties; however, there are some formal, theoretical, and scientific shortcomings, which must be covered in the next editions in order to change the book into an appropriate and adequate source for students and researchers.

This article analyzed critical papers related to the political-social issues of Iran. The purpose of the research was to identify the observance level of the fundamentals of criticism and scientific evaluation in critical papers. The method was content analysis, and the statistical population consisted of 123 articles, all critical texts published in various sources over the past three decades and available to researchers. Findings of the research showed that in 56.7% of the critical papers both the strengths and weaknesses of the works have been considered, and in the rest of the papers, only strengths or weaknesses have been considered. Also, in 65.8 percent of the papers, it is focused on the author's critique (positive or negative). In addition, only 14.2% of the papers have been provided with suggestions and solutions to address the shortcomings of the studies. Accordingly, it should be argued that there is still a long way to follow the rules of scientific critique and impartiality and avoidance of biased judgments in the criticism of books related to the political-social changes in Iran and the criticism of other works.

Two schools of thought now exist in security studies. Traditionalists want to restrict the subject to politico-military issues, while wideners want to extend it to the economic, societal, and environmental sectors. This book sets out a comprehensive statement of the new security studies, establishing the case for the broader agenda. The authors argue that security is a particular type of politics applicable to a wide range of issues. Answering the traditionalists charge that this model makes the subject incoherent, they offer a constructivist operational method for distinguishing the process of securitization from that of politicization. Their approach incorporates the traditionalist agenda and dissolves the artificial boundary between security studies and international political economy, opening the way for a fruitful interplay between the two fields. It also shows how the theory of regional security complexes remains relevant in today's world.

The political modernity is a book about the secularism and secular values. The author believes that current problems of society have roots in dedifferentiation between public and private sphere state and civil society and individuals and citizens. This book is based on the liberal and secular ideals and justifies the issues of secularism. However, Maurice Barbier assumes the west experience the ultimate experience of noble nations and suggests that surrendering such separations is destiny of all societies. He advises the countries deprived of political modernity not to have ambitious leaps and try to use treasure of their ancestors’ accumulated experiences and move forward gradually. Considering their model as a perfect one, Western countries made some problems for other communities. For instance, if Islamic societies prefer Islamic rules as a model for their problem solving and future perspective, secularism will not turn to a problem requiring to be dealt with. Rethinking and investigating weaknesses and strengths of content and structures of this book, it was revealed that the author of the book turns from sophisticated problem solving to problem making and unjustifiable pieces of advices.

Robert Dahl, as we know, is one of the political scientists who has a scientific approach to politics and political science and seeks to present politics as a science. In his book "Modern Political Analysis", he outlines his main positions on the concept of politics and how to analyze politics. The book, on the one hand, belongs to the power-oriented tradition of politics and, on the other hand, replaces a different concept of "influence" with the concept of power, claiming to have provided a scientific method for studying and looking at politics as well as a scientific model for practical policy and policy making. In this article, we will review the strengths and weaknesses of this book. This article contains some general critiques, including a critique of the book's scientist approach, its emphasis on influence as the main concept of politics, what modern political analysis is, and the consequences of this view of politics.

"The Future of Power", by Joseph Nye, exploring international developments, explains the types of power, and while considering the conditions that make effective the use of different types of power, it also explains their limitations. In this book, after examining the types of power, the status of American power is evaluated and its weaknesses are mentioned. The author does not consider the use of any kind of power to be effective for preserving American power, and introduces the integrating of all different types and sources of power as the only way to make them effective. Nye presents a strategy of smart power to maintain America's supremacy in the world and invites US politicians to comply. This book is extremely American-centered and is about a powerful future country, rather than about the future of power and its nature. This feature turns the book into a set of political guidelines for American politicians to preserve America's global power and position, and reflects the author's political attitudes and aspirations that have profoundly influenced American politicians and policies, especially Democrats and their policies.

The contrast between the two phenomena of the demands of the new era and state behavior is among the issues that propel writers from various fields from management to sociology and political science. Critical papers, neutral papers, and papers advocate of the behavior of the state and the bureaucratic system are three aspects that stand out in this regard. Meanwhile, Michel Crozier, a writer sociologist and critic of state behaviors and bureaucracy, examining the post-World War II French states, finds them to have self-knowledgeable ideas and self-powerful imagination, but he believes that the developments of the era along with the failures of these states in achieving social and economic goals, especially in areas such as education and health, reveals the necessity of a fundamental rethinking of the state nature; a nature that must be reflected in modesty of state. He views modern state as impossible without modest politics.

Increasing the enthusiastic attempts to trace the Middle East events and evolutions, on the one hand, and establishing the Middle East Studies courses (both in research and teaching) on the other hand, caused the need for research and teaching sources in this field. The printing of Politics and Government in THE Middle East by a reputable university press is very important; a book which is going to have educational methods and offer the data and analyses on political issues to the students of political sciences, especially the bachelors. However, reviewing the form and the content of this book shows that despite the publishers’ finesse to offer a scientific and comprehensive work, it has some weaknesses and inaccuracies, so that introducing it as an academic source may be hesitated. Accordingly, this paper offers some positive and negative aspects of the book, and at the end, it proposes a recommendation to the authors and publishers to issue a new edition of the book. The major drawback of the book seems to be its lack of the proficiency guidelines and ideas of the scholars of the Middle East Studies as well as and guidelines and ideas of education.

The relationship between revolution and literature can be traced during three distinctive stages. In the first stage which is before the time that revolution stabilizes itself, the literature definitely assists the revolution and spreads the revolutionary slogans. When it comes to the second stage, during the consolidation of the revolution, the revolutionaries deny the independent literature. And finally, in the third stage, literature tries to move to the hidden transcript of society against the obstacles of the political hegemony and departs form revolution and its slogans. The “regulation and literature” book, which is a trilogy by Jürgen Ruhle, has explained this paradoxical relationship. This trilogy is a critical study of the literature and communism in the twentieth century. In the first book Ruhle described the sodality and opposition between the Russian authors and October Revolution. In the second book, he emphasized German literature especially Marxist works from 1917 to 1960, and in the third book, the focus was on the Marxist works in Latin America. In the current paper, we try to explain the contradictory relationship between literature and revolution with emphasis on this trilogy. We especially focus on “Revolution and Literature: Russian Writers” book and use new approaches such as Bakhtian formalism, new literary criticism, and trans-historical theory.

By focusing on the contemporary Arab discourse, the present paper argues that the Arab unity in the form of a united territorial and political entity has been the central Arab discourse in the last one a half century. International and domestic developments, however, have made such ideal a difficult one to be realized. Moreover, the internal socio-political and economic difficulties in the last century brought about a state of confusion and multiplicity for the Arab discourse. On the other hand, the post-Cold war situations and the outcome of the weakness of Arab nationalist discourse, led to the emergence of two secular and fundamentalist discourses around which all Arab social and political forces have gathered. Taking the Kamal Abdul Latif and Mohammad Aref's The Challenges of the Contemporary Arab Discourse as a case study, the author has explained how such vagueness and multiplicities has encompassed the contemporary Arab discourse.

International Relations theory has been the site of intense debate in recent years.A decade ago it was still possible to divide the field between three main perspectives –Realism, Liberalism and Marxism. Not only have these approaches evolved in new directions ,they have been joined by a number of new ‘isms’ vying for attention, including feminism and constructivism.“International Relations Theory for the Twenty-First Century” is one of the comprehensive books to provide an overview of all the most important theories within international relations.Written by an international team of experts in the field, the book covers both traditional approaches, such as realism and liberal internationalism, as well as new developments such as constructivism, poststructuralism and postcolonialism.Through our critical review, we have tried to evaluate the presented topics in each article. As our major question we try to discuss whether the arguments are able to efficiently provide comprehensive coverage of the relevant theory?This Griffiths`s Book, unlike his previous work, the "Encyclopedia of International Relations", could not cover the whole spectrum of international relations. It could be considered as a source, of course with a relative coverage, for M.A and Ph.D students but not for B.A students.

The American Neo-Conservative Journalist, Fareed Zakaria got famous in President Bush era, wrote in his book: “the future of freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad”. His approach to the “end of history” shows in the book, looking at the globalizing liberal democracy but he criticizes this idea. His critics deny American political system but praise its history because Zakaria believe the historical process of the system was elitist and more efficient. This paper criticizes the discussion of his book. So the structure of book about neoliberalism and neodemocracy compare with the liberal and democratice ideas to show special view of Zakaria. Also neoconservativist view of Zakaria revised and compared with Islamic international relations.

Neotraditionalism or neoclassicism in international relations refers to the thinking movement of those scholars who, through preserving the resistant core or the protective belt of classical theories make attempts to update these theories in the context of covering new developments. Realism is the most stable theoretical tradition of international relations encompassing various scholars in the context of classical tradition and its new form, namely, neorealism and neoclassical realism. One of the neoclassical realist thinkers of international relations is John Vasquez who raises serious assumptions in his studies about the status and position of realism as a paradigm in the theoretical domain of international relations. Vasquez believes that as a paradigm realism laid the groundwork for the formation of empirical rather than normative and historical science in international relations. He believes that the outcome of this situation has so far been a consensus on an image of global politics and researching it in theorizing field. According to Vasquez, despite the emergence of a pluralistic situation in the history of theoretical thought in international relations, realism in this field is still forerunner and its research program has a hegemonic status. While exploring the philosophical intellectual foundations and evolution of Vasquez's thought, this article reveals some of his transtheoretical and practical deficiencies of his detailed articulation of the theorizing process in international relations.

This paper reviews and criticizes the “Incomplete Modernity of Iranian Intellectuals”, written by Gholamreza Goodarzi (2008). The book includes four chapters and the author intends to offer a historical trend of the role of Iranian intellectuals in the incomplete modernity in Iran. The most criticism consists of: the lack of theoretical framework for the research, offering the variant approaches without reviewing and criticizing them, criticizing with no grounds and documents, saying again the repeated claims, using the concepts without understandable explaining, and the lack of innovation.

Furthermore, we have analyzed the external elements which affected Foucault theories like the social and political events of his life and theories of Marx, Weber, and Nietzsche. Moreover, we have paid attention to internal analysis of abovementioned book and recognized its critical points so concepts like racist discourse, governmental racism, and bio-power have been analyzed. At last, we have critiqued the form, structure, and content of the book. For instance, in some cases, we face inconsistency between different sections of the book.

Re-reading original texts of Classic Thinkers is one of the necessities of transforming Iranian discourses of humanities. There are controversies in the approach over what distinguishes a `great book` from `lesser works` of a thinker. In a Straussian perspective, Great Books are held to be written by authors/philosophers of such sovereign critical self-knowledge and intellectual power that they can in no way be reduced to the general thought of their time. Academic as well as ex-academic circles of thought ought to go far beyond the commentaries and commentators to reach more contemplative confrontation with critical theory heritage achieving a critical reading of the very classic texts. Having this insights in mind, here the author tries to re-read Gramsci`s political realism based on Quaderni del Carcere, specially The Modern Prince. The relation between Gramsci`s The Modern Prince with two conflicting heritages of radical modernity has been reviewed: Machiavelli as Republican one, and Marx as Revolutionary one. Sorel and power of the myth and the violence as respected by Gramsci is other side of this seemingly contradictory radical heritage, as here called as Revolutionary Political Realism.

This paper is an attempt to review the ninth edition of the book entitled “International Organizations” written by Seyed Dawood Aqhaee, a valuable academic source on international organizations. Although the book is one of the first comprehensive sources dealing generally with both historical and structural perspectives, it failed to analyse the history of the League of Nations. To him, both the League of Nations and the United Nations have been puppets in the hands of great powers and thus insists to its readers on a pessimistic view for all international organizations. Information presented in the book, is not only up to dated but also with no clear reference to its origins. Almost on third of the book is on Iran and its role in the UNO while contradicts the title. This paper is to discover and reveal the shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses of the book in different textual and contextual fields of the book and to suggest some recommendations for the next edition of the book.

Politics must be regarded as an arena upon which the opponents stand against one another paving the way for liberation, hegemony and the formation of regimes of truth. The belief to politics as an arena on which identitary oppositions delimit each other becomes dominant in Laclau and Mouffe’s language. These two characters aim at de-democratising the present democracies in order to formulate democracy in the post-democratic time. Therefore, the return of politics resulted from de-construction of the current western democracies insofar as the enemies turn into adversaries. The process of transforming politics and discourse to the political is the subject of this essay.
