چکیده:
Massive revolutions with ultra-national claims are political-social phenomena occurring within the global system challenging principles and norms that govern the international system by creating tremendous domestic transformations. They also claim that they offer a new order in international relations based on revolutionary values and ideologies. In contrast, foundations of international relations are based on conservatism and preserving the current status therefore it always tries to impose a kind of balance and similarity on the members of international system. Thus, any factor that changes and transforms basic standards of the current system or jeopardize them or cause imbalance and unconformity in international system will be considered as a saboteur and an anti-system element which will be confronted by the members of this system. This article analyzes how and why waves of anti-revolutionism against massive revolutions are formed in international system through the viewpoints of defensive realism.
خلاصه ماشینی:
Therefore, foreign states and especially the dominant powers in the global system employ all necessary tools and levers to confront the consolidation and stabilization of revolutionary regimes; because, from their perspective, the strengthening and expansion of revolutionary ideas can be perceived as a threat to disrupting the existing homogeneity and balance in the international system and, ultimately, endanger their interests and superiority in the global system.
The country of Iran has also, in the past three decades, had a government arising from a great popular revolution, and the existing political system in this country, during this period, has faced challenges, oppositions, and conflicts from global powers in pursuing its goals and objectives in the international arena; therefore, it is necessary that the theoretical foundations of the behaviors and counter-revolutionary tendencies of the system of the international system and its dominant elements, be reviewed and identified so that, in light of this understanding, a roadmap for the country's foreign policy and international relations can be drawn, and by understanding the goals and performances of the primary actors on the global stage, the behaviors and extraterritorial goals of the country's revolutionary system can be organized and planned.
(Snyder, 1991: 307-308) In other words, it can be said that based on this theory, the primary actors in the global system possess conservative behaviors and characteristics; while attempting to maintain the status quo, they oppose the occurrence of radical and fundamental changes and transformations in the structure and theoretical foundations of the international system, and they also confront disruptive and rogue elements that challenge the existing order and structure.
