Abstract

"Nation" is a modern phenomenon and one of the epistemic fruits of the Renaissance era, which, as a population element along with land and sovereignty, determines the identity of the modern state, and of course, it has a much stronger role than other components in the development of the modern state, so that the nation and the state are two related concepts. None of them will have any meaning without the other. The phenomenon of the nation is based on special foundations and has a logical and systematic connection with other components of modernity. On the other hand, the system of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as a model of governance after the Islamic revolution, is a claimant of a new political order with special principles and ideals. By pondering the foundations and components of the phenomenon of the nation, as well as by descriptively examining the foundations and ideals of the Islamic Republic of Iran system, we find the answer to this central issue that despite the use of the word nation in the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the element The population of the state in post-Islamic revolution Iran has no similarity with the phenomenon of the modern nation.
