Abstract:
The presence of the majority of Shiites population in the Persian Gulf as well as the influential minority in the West Asia, Balkan and the North Africa, has caused the Shiite population and capacities to be reckoned as a counted-on force in the geopolitical space. The Shiites’ privileged characteristic and the factors that contribute to their capability and capacity have converted this group, as a force giving depth to the Islamic revolution and strengthening the resistance front, into an important problem worth being studied. Therefore, the capacity assessment of the parameters and characteristics of Iraqi Shiites and their effect on the axis of resistance has been considered as the main problem of this research. The present research's aim is to assess the capacity of the Iraqi Shiites in, and their contribution, to the development and influence of the “axis of resistance”. The geopolitical, geocultural and geoeconomic factors and other unique characteristics of Shiites play a role in upgrading the position of the axis of resistance. The research method was carried out in mixed manner (based on theoretical literature and tacit knowledge) and a questionnaire was planned using theoretical literature and empirical knowledge. The statistical population was selected to be 18 people in a meaningful way in which both the validity of the research and the reliability of the findings were investigated and confirmed, the former based on content and the latter by using Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. The findings of the research showed that there is a meaningful and positive relationship between the elements of belief in political Islam, political geography, cultural geography, defense policy and culture and geoeconomy. Also these findings indicate that the Iraqi shiites do not only have a dynamic and active capacity, they will produce a strengthened resistance front and a developed revolutionary discourse if supported and enabled by the Shiite groups. Therefore, the Shiites constitute the most vital group and driving engine for the front of resistance.
