تحلیلى جامعه شناختى از بحران‏هاى اجتماعى - سیاسى حکومت علوى علیه ‏السلام

In analysing the Alavi's government's problems and
ineffeiencies, the author has based his argument on Sociological
Theories. Two theoretical bases of Charismatic authorative and
The Theory of social cleavages have been utilized by the author.
According to the first school of thought some of the problems of
the Alavi`s era (after the Prophet Mohammad had died) had been
in result of the interactions between the new religious authoriety
and the Arab traditional authority. Therefore three branches of
sunnite, shi`at, and khavarjites (seceders) are the products of the
proposed interaction. In this regard we can trace some of the
Alavi`s government problems to charismatic authorative charactor

of Imam Ali' The second theory claims that creation of these
branches was the result of existing social cleavages within the
newly foremed Islamic society. According to this theory by
analysing social cleavages of that society we can conclude that
interations of these cleavages are the foundation of most of the
society socio - political developments.
