A Study of Factors and Instances of Globalization in the Attitude of Reformist and Fundamentalist Elites

The purpose of the present research is to investigate and identify the factors and instances of globalization in the attitude of reformist and fundamentalist elites. The research had a practical objective and data collection was conducted by library study through a descriptive and analytical method. The results showed that since globalization is a project proposed by reformist elites and compatible with their intellectual foundation, it inevitably has caused improvement in different fields of identity, culture, economy, politics, foreign policy, and national sovereignty. On the other hand, since conservative and fundamentalist elites believe in an ideological government, ideological and traditional discourse, and mass society, globalization from their viewpoint could not bring any opportunity and has had no result but threatening the identity, culture, economy, politics, foreign policy, and national sovereignty of the country. It seems that this group of elites do not have an optimist attitude toward globalization to bring any opportunities in the fields of identity, culture, economy, politics, foreign policy, and national sovereignty.
