The purpose of this Article is to investigate the Structuration of participatory patterns in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Theoretical approach is based on the viewpoint of the Giddens Structuration. This study is comparative research method and documentary technique. The article believes that the most fundamental feature of the political system of the IRI is the rule of God. Due to, the political system sought to strengthen the religious community in Iran, because the political forces that supported the political system came from this religious community. But civil society has also survived, because of those political forces that are not necessarily proponents of the existing political system. According to the Structuration theory, three participatory patterns have been observed: (a) the pattern of conflict; (b) the pattern of support C) an unprotected pattern that has an incomplete participatory pattern and is constantly attracting and rejecting the mainstream of political power in Iran.
