چکیده:
Despite the new versions of political Islam appearing in the West Asia, three discourse patterns of political Islam can at least be identified, namely: the pattern of Shiite political Islam (revolutionary and transformational) with the Islamic Republic of Iran at the centre; the pattern of Salafi-Wahhabi political Islam (traditional conservative) led by Saudi Arabia; and the pattern of Ekhwani political Islam (civil pragmatist) in Egypt and Turkey. Because of the remarkable and efficient capabilities and characteristics shown by the mentioned-above countries in the West Asia, the regional security order will keep being influenced by the rivalry in these discourse identities. Based on the hypothesis in this article, due to the fundamental conflict that exists in norms, images, beliefs as well as the advent of the competitive and hegemonical nature of the discourses in the West Asia region, it faces a serious challenge to establish an optimal security order in the region. In this research, the idea of evolving the identity of a regional discourse based on the identity commonalities contained in the Islamic civilization has been offered as the nodal point of that discourse in order to establish a regional security order.

Identity Patterns of West Asia and Regional Security Order 1 Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh 2 Mohammadbagher Khorramshad 3 Seyyed Hamed Mousavi Received: 2018/09/02 Accepted: 2018/10/01 Abstract Despite the emergence of new readings of political Islam in West Asia, at least three patterns of political Islam discourse can be identified: the Shiite political Islam pattern (revolutionary and popular) centered on the Islamic Republic of Iran; the Salafi-Wahhabi political Islam pattern (traditional and violent conservative) led by Saudi Arabia; and the Ikhwani political Islam pattern (civil and pragmatic) in the countries of Egypt and Turkey.
The transformations and revolutions of the Arab world were a turning point in the power geometry and politics of the West Asian region; these revolutions transformed the semantic conditions of power in West Asia and North Africa, which stemmed from material and physical factors, and made the element of identity and Islamic identitarianism prominent and decisive in political and power relations; in such circumstances, actors and emerging power forces in countries, not based on previous structures that were a blend of geographical continuity with ethnic similarities, but rather based on social ideas and belief norms outside of geographical geometry and, in other words, through a mental semantic fusion, engaged in power production; with these descriptions, these transformations altered all equations of politics and security in West Asia; a matter that confronted the influence of extra-regional power constructs with a serious identity challenge (Esmaeili et al.
