The Theoretical Principles of Individual's Electoral Behaviors in the Islamic Republic of Iran

Ali Darabi Page 9

Election, i.e. political participation, is one of the symbols shared by most of the democratic countries, including the Islamic Republic of Iran. To explain citizens’ participation, their voting preferences and the quality of their decisions in selecting and casting vote, three theoretical patterns can be referred to as follows: political sociological approach (functionalist, exchange and political assessment), political economics approach (wise selection and reformed wise selection) and political psychological approach (Chicago School, knowledge-based and Engel Hart).The present article analyzes these three strands of theories and answers the question that which one of these patterns explains the electoral behavior of citizens in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The article stresses that the electoral behavior is a time-, field- and place-based phenomenon; therefore, we cannot reach a universal theory to explain the reason, manner and content of citizens’ vote casting across the world, even the constituencies within a single geographical unit. In other words, the principles affecting citizens’ behavior in the Islamic Republic of Iran should be looked for in people political culture, their previous experiences and conducts, individuals past interactions with the candidates and social discourses and networks to which voters belong.

Media Political Economy and Elections: Theorizing Electoral Inequalities

Hosein Pour Ahmadi Page 39

In the political economy approach, mass media, particularly in elections, introduce dominant values and the factor conveying them. First of all, mass media organizations are deemed and studied as institutions mediating between economic, political, and cultural media and their social outcomes. In many cases particularly election situations, mass media contents and products are at the service of economic, political interests of the powerful, and therefore, discrimination and inequality in access to mass media is an example of inequality in access to resources. In other words, those who are denied access to mass media cannot campaign against those who enjoy such a means. In the Islamic Republic of Iran, the role and status of the biggest and most influential medium in elections in the past few years (i.e. IRIB), has prompted many people to base their final decisions on the talk shows and candidates’ interviews and debates broadcast by the National Medium across the country.

A Comparative Study of Electoral Approaches: Discourse Analysis of Editorials of the Two Dailies of Jomhuriye-e-Eslami and Keyhan About Iran's 8th Parliament Runoff Elections

Hasan Bashir , Hamid Reza Hatami Page 93

Discourse analysis and comparative study of materials written on elections are of paramount significance for shedding light on various approaches adopted and different viewpoints maintained by all political parties in a country. The Iranian 8th parliament elections carry too much sensitivity with it due to the two main political wings, i.e. Principalist and Reformist parties. The present article employs the two techniques of discourse analysis and comparative study to discuss, explain and compare the editorials and other materials of ‘jomhoriye-e-Eslami’ and ‘Keyhan’ as the two main papers representing Principalists in the 8th parliament elections, from Esfand 25, 1386 to Ordibehesht 6, 1387 (the second round of the elections).The discourse analysis of the relevant materials in the two mentioned papers reveals a kind of “internal” approach to parliament elections in “Jomhuriye-e-Eslami” and “external” viewpoint in “Keyhan”. Although these two approaches are different in various ways, but they share an important principle, i.e. both supporting the Principalists.

Khalil Allah Sardarniya Page 193

Civil engagement is one of the foundational requirements of democracy and citizenship. Since the last quarter of the 20th century, we have been facing a phenomenon called “Information Explosion and Planet Awareness”. Internet, on the one hand, has expanded our democratic knowledge and view, and on the other hand, it has brought a new political participation online. Discussing findings of some of the most important qualitative studies carried out in this field, the present article highlights the theory that internet has had a relatively good influence on adolescents and educated adults’ political engagement in these two ways: online and non-online. Based on these studies, the author has offered a contextual model for internet effect on political participation.
