The Formation of Administrative Feudalism in Iran

In terms of the historical evolution of the state, we are living in the era of the modern state, and according to some, in the era of the post-modern state. In the constitution of the Islamic Republic, some of the components of the modern state have been accepted, so the structure of the country's administration should also be established based on the structure of a modern state, but the author believes that a kind of administrative feudalism has been formed in Iran in the field of the administration of the country's affairs, which basically has a destructive effect on the administration of the country. In this paper, the existence of parallel institutions, the establishment of extra-constitutional institutions, giving authority to authorities to act in matters that are outside of their inherent duties, the influence of unofficial persons and authorities in the decisions of public institutions are among the manifestations of the formation of administrative feudalism in Iran. This is a kind of backwardness in the administrative method of the country. This way of functioning has caused the decisions of the administrative bodies to become uncertain, shaky and changeable, so the author believes that the first step to reform the process of running the affairs of the country and eliminate feudalism is to concentrate affairs in legally competent institutions based on the principle of separation of powers.
