Abstract:
The formation of the Safavid government can be traced to the five basic elements of the Safavid, Sufi, Shi'ite, Anatolian, and Qizilbashan districts. Each of these elements played an important role in the reign of Shah Ismail I in Tabriz in 907 AH. The formation of the Safavid government in Iran consists of two phases of preparation and the period of the kings, from Sheikh Safi al-Din Ardebili to Sheikh Haidar of the period of preparation, and from King Ismail to the period of the kings, who were the most important political actors in both periods. The first period is consistent with the resource mobilization model and the kings period is also compatible with the political model theory. This study examines the developments in the formation of the Safavid state based on the theory of Charles Tile's collective action. The purpose of this study is fundamental and in terms of nature and method, it is descriptive and analytical. The method of data collection is library. The final conclusion of this study is based on an examination of developments in the formation of the Safavid government until the end of Shah Tahmasb I's reign. Research findings show that despite the power vacuum in Anatolia, the Safavid dynasty has succeeded in mobilizing the Ghezelbashan to form a government in Iran, and during the kings, the Ghezelbashan have competed with each other and other elements of power to achieve political and economic goals. They have argued that these developments are in line with
Machine summary:
The transformation process of the Safavid movement and the formation of the Safavid government based on Charles Tilly's theory of collective action (from the time of formation to the end of Shah Tahmasp's reign) 1 Mohammad Ghorbanian 2 Abdolreza Rahimi Date received: 97/07/11 Date accepted: 99/03/24 Abstract: The formation of the Safavid government can be outlined based on five essential and fundamental elements: the Safavid dynasty, Sufism, Shiism, the Anatolian region, and the Qizilbash.
The findings of the research show that despite the power vacuum in the Anatolian region, the Safavid dynasty succeeded in mobilizing the Qizilbash to form a government in Iran, and during the period of the kings, the Qizilbash engaged in competition with each other and other power elements to achieve political and economic goals, which is consistent with Charles Tilly's theory of collective action.
In the continuation of the Safavid rule and during the reign of Shah Tahmasp, the spiritual belief and affection for the "Perfect Murshid" or the Safavid king diminished, and the secular form of the Sufi movement and interest in worldly power took its place; consequently, the Qizilbash engaged in competition with each other and other political and military actors to achieve worldly and material goals.
In light of the above questions, the following hypotheses are proposed for examination: 1- The Safavid dynasty, Sufism, Shiism, the Anatolian region, and the Qizilbash played an important role in the formation of the Safavid government, which is consistent with the resource mobilization pattern of Charles Tilly's theory of collective action.
