The Pattern of Elite Behavior in the Government of Seyyed Mohammad Khatami 1 Ebrahim Motaghi Professor, Department of Political Science, Faculty of Law and Political Science, University of Tehran Dariush Piri PhD Student in Political Science, Aras International Campus, University of Tehran (Received date: 2016/04/19 – Approved date: 2016/05/18) Abstract Elites are selected as agents of the political system for economic and political development and must possess the necessary capabilities for pragmatism and enhancing productive capacity.
Although a significant portion of the elites active in the Khatami government were growth-oriented agents of the Hashemi government, new social necessities led to the implementation of a political development program in the form of "structural differentiation," "integration," and "capacity building.
The fundamental issue facing Iranian society is the subject of variable behavior of political elites in different time periods, which itself stems from the historical and political predisposition of Iranians in the modern era.
The social way of life of Iranians is the result of the existing political behavior of Iranian society, and Iran's political culture has always suffered from characteristics such as negative individualism, mistrust, institutional avoidance, lack of consensus, nepotism, thousand-familyism (favoritism), lawlessness, insecurity, national identity crisis, and the incomplete process of nation-building.
After the 2nd of Khordad, Khatami, being aware of the realities governing the political transformations in Iran and seeking to change these conditions, personally addressed concepts such as civil society, government accountability, freedom of dissent, freedom of the press, cultural preservation, and the necessity of full implementation of the Constitution.
