Abstract

Globalization is a phenomenon and concept effective on our socio-political life, which has economic, political, cultural, and social implications. It has clear influences in all societies, especially the Iranian one. The present paper, on the basis of a conceptual study of globalization and reformism, deals with the impacts of globalization on the reformist discourse in Iran with respect to political, cultural, and social impacts. This paper claims that the reformist discourse, being influenced by globalization, is to explain its identity with respect the features of globalization and to localize it in the context of Islamic beliefs.
