ژيوپليتيـك شيعه با تاكيد بر نقش زايـران حرم رضوي(مشهد)

The Role and Influence of the Razavi Shrine and Pilgrimages to the shiʹʹite Geopolitics

در حال حاضر ، جمعيت مسلمانان جهان به بيش از يك ميليارد نفر رسيده است و بر اساس آماري كه از منابع مختلف ارايه شده است ، شيعيان بيش از 20 درصد اين جمعيت يعني ، جمعيتي بيش از دويست ميليون نفر را تشكيل داده اند. جمعيتي كه با توجه به متاثر بودن آنها از انقلاب اسلامي-ايران و علاقه ي آنها به شهرهاي مقدس از جمله مشهد، پتانسيل خيلي خوبي را براي ايران و علايق ژيوپليتيكي آن فراهم نموده است. در اين مقاله، با روش تحقيقي توصيفي- تحليلي سعي شده است تا به اهميت ايديولوژي تشيع، به عنوان يك عنصر موثر بر ژيوپوليتيك شيعه، با تاكيد بر زايران حضرت امام رضا(ع) پرداخته شود؛ امري كه مبناي خودآگاهي و بيداري در انقلاب ايران و ساير جنبش هاي اسلامي منطقه مي باشد.

Worldʹs muslim population is now over one billion, and Shiites consist of nearly 20 percent of this, amounting to over two hundred million people. The "togetherness" of the Shiaite population all over the world is certainly influenced and enhanced by the formation of the Islamic Republic of Iran and also their interests in holy places such as the Rezavi Shrine of Mashhad as part of the religious ideology. Pilgrimages to holy places such as the Rezavi Shrine and the effects brought into the personal lives of the Shiaite piligrims provide great and genuine causes for their "togetherness" and enhanced "belongingness". In turn, this phenomena provides a great opportunity and potential for Iran towards its geopolitical interests. In this paper, using descriptive, analytical and statistical effort, this ideology of Shiaism is studied including its influence and effects on Shia Geopolitics. This is done as a case study with emphasis on the pilgrims and pilgrimages to the Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad. Also shown is how these pilgrimages spread the awareness of the Iranian revolution, and the Islamic movements pertaining to this region and the entire Shiaite community of the world
