This
article reevaluates the Iranian Revolution as a modern movement. Modern
revolutionary movements spark with an ideological discourse reinforcing
class-consciousness; flourish upon growing sentiments of nationalism, and
mobilize masses with a trigger that deepens the estrangement between state and
society. In terms of its initial motivations, the Iranian Revolution was a
modern political movement. In the Iranian case, ideological discourse targeted
political elites favoring certain segments of the society, and planted the
first seeds of hostility towards Shah’s regime and its foreign supporters.
Modernization reforms and nationalization policies of the 1920-1955 period gave
birth to common nationalist sentiments among influential and discontented
social groups strengthening their reaction against the regime. Finally, the
regime’s decision to allocate growing oil revenues after the 1973 oil crisis to
heavy industry investments and military modernization programs instead of
social development projects deepened the estrangement between state and society
mobilizing masses towards a revolutionary movement.

Bu
makale, İran Devrimi’nin 40. yıldönümüne yaklaştığımız şu günlerde, 20.
Yüzyılın bu son kapsamlı dönüştürücü modern hareketini yeniden değerlendirmeyi
amaçlamaktadır. Modern devrimci hareketler, sınıf bilincini pekiştiren bir
ideolojik söylemle kıvılcımlanır; yükselen milliyetçilik duygusu üzerinden
serpilir ve toplum ile devlet arasında yabancılaşmayı derinleştiren bir
tetikleyici unsur üzerinden kitleleri harekete geçirir. Başlangıç
motivasyonları itibariyle İran Devrimi de, modern bir siyasi harekettir. İran
Devrimi’nde ideolojik söylem, belli toplumsal grupları kayıran yönetimi hedef
almış, Şah rejimi ve yabancı destekçilerine karşı ilk husumet tohumlarını
ekmiştir. 1920’lerin sonu ile 1950’lerin başı arasındaki dönemdeki modernleşme
reformları ve millileştirme politikaları, toplumda etkili hoşnutsuz gruplar
arasında ortak milliyetçi hislerin oluşmasını sağlamış, bu hisler, dış gücün
desteğine dayalı yönetime karşı tepkisel duruşu güçlendirmiştir. Eski rejimin,
1973 Petrol Krizi sonrası artan petrol gelirlerini toplumsal gelişim projeleri
yerine ağırlıklı olarak hızlandırılmış ağır sanayi yatırımları ve ordunun
modernizasyonuna tahsis etmesiyse toplumla yönetim arasında yıkıcı bir
yabancılaşma oluşmasına neden olmuş ve kitleleri harekete geçirmiştir.
