Assessing the role of Islamic councils in the political development of the Islamic Republic of Iran

The main purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate the impact and role of Islamic councils in the process of political development of the Islamic Republic of Iran with a macro view of performance and obstacles, and factors of failure and to present strategic plans for the future. The research method is descriptive-analytical and seeks to evaluate the impact of Islamic councils on the political development process of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The results showed that increasing public awareness, public trust in social institutions, realizing the rights of the people, and promoting a culture of accountability and a culture of independence could lead to political development, reduce municipal authority, and overcome political issues tastes over other aspects. Specialized and non-specialized affairs have had a negative impact on political development. Political affairs are not separate from the sphere of people's lives, and political development is not only related to governmental affairs, which for ordinary people is an alien and alien concept and only in the hands of the ruler and his representatives, but the purpose of political development is to increase various capacities. Moreover, society is in everything, which obliges the system to respond better to public demands. The role of the Islamic councils of the city in the political development of the country is not very efficient and colorful; the cities do not have a favorable development process, and the councils do not play a significant role in political development. A principled structural reform can pave the way for solving existing problems and political development, and optimal management of cities and regions.
