Islamic Revolution and Political Rent

Rent is mainly an economic subject studied by economists. However, it may be interesting for political economists as for its impacts on interactions between government and society and its damaging effects on domestic economy and governmentʹs separation and non-reliance on its own society. Calling political rent, the article is to analyze its impacts on the Islamic revolutionary ideals and to find a mechanism to be taken by the 1. R. of Iran to clear the destructive effects of this phenomenon on its political area and help its essential ideals to become real. The article is analytically and descriptively investigating the process in the past three decades and tries discussing the cause and effects of political rent based on the approaches of the leader and founder of the Islamic revolution. The authorʹs hypothesis is that prediction of some short-time and long-time requirements in the normative fields of the dominant system, political culture and politico-legal structures may help us eliminate political rent from the society and promote the revolutionary ideals.
