Opposition and Internal Security of the Islamic Republic of Iran مقاله

چکیده:

Defining the concept of opposition and classifying its spectrums is among the ambiguous topics of political sociology, which has a complete connection to the category of the country's internal security. In this writing, while defining opposition and distinguishing it into two spectrums—legal opposition and regime-change opposition—the author discusses and examines the interaction of each of these two spectrums on the internal security of the Islamic Republic of Iran. After examining the way opposition groups to the system were formed and their security threats over the past 20 years, the author concludes, in explaining the current state of society, that creating the groundwork and facilitating conditions for the activity of legal opposition can prevent the emergence and formation of hostile or regime-change opposition.
