Abstract

Currently, one of the pillars of a country's political system is the existence of political parties. Parties have done well so far, especially in developed countries; Because there is a kind of convergence between the political worldview of the party and party activists in these societies, which facilitates the process of political development. Therefore, the present study is an attempt to analyze and compare the ideological and paradigmatic foundations of the parties with the interviews of activists of the three prominent parties after the revolution ( Kargozaran, Motalefe Eslami , Rouhaniat Mobarez). The statistical population of the study is all the parties registered in the Ministry of Interior in 1997, among which three parties were selected according to the opinion of the elites. The study method is qualitative content analysis with a directional approach (summary), and maxqda 12 (2018) software is used for analysis. The results show that the parties' ideologies are not in line with the concepts extracted from the interviews of party activists, and in addition, we see a wide paradigmatic confusion in the ideologies and interviews of party activists that none of the parties has used specific ideas and paradigms. Kargozaran party in the statute emphasizes more on a positivist approach; But in interviews with party activists, the role of the interpretive approach is greater. In the case of the Motalefe Eslami Party, the situation is the opposite of the Kargozaran; The share of the positivist paradigm in the statute is less than the interview. And for Rouhaniat Mobarez, the interpretive share in the statute is the opposite of the interviews. Also, all three parties have used a combination of existing paradigms, and none of them has clearly used a specific paradigm; There is a paradigmatic confusion in party interviews and ideologies. Of course, the intellectual principles used in the internal parties have a more secular approach that is not compatible with the concepts claimed by the Islamic system and the intellectual and practical goals of the Islamic Revolution.
