History is the science of analyzing past events. Based on this science, historical events are discussed and studied in a time and space sequence. The purpose of this study is a comparative comparison of the theories of Ibn Khaldun's nervousness, Weber's charisma and Pareto elites in the rise and fall of the Qajar dynasty in order to fill the research gaps in this regard. The research method is comparative-historical comparison. Documents will also be used in this method. The findings of the research are that Ibn Khaldun in his introduction has used and generalized the concept of nervousness in explaining how and why the periodic evolution of history, emergence and fall of dynasties. According to Ibn Khaldun, nervousness is the unity and social solidarity between a group, tribe, people and nation. Max Weber also considers the three sources of legitimacy and political authority in social movements in three aspects (tradition, rationality and charisma). Charisma refers to the character of a person who, in person or in the eyes of others, has extraordinary leadership power. Also in Pareto's elite displacement theory, among the members of a group, the most deserving members of that group are called elites. The results of the study show that following the gradual decline of the Safavid dynasty and the invasion of the Afghans, the nervousness, charisma, elitism and, above all, the legitimacy of the Safavid rulers and rulers were questioned and Nader Shah replaced Karim Khan Zand after a while; But with the death of Karim Khan and during the rule of Lotfali Khan Zand, the leaders of Qajar people and especially Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar with the power of nervousness, charisma and elite among his people, in 1117 A.D. was able to subdue them and cause the emergence of Qajar dynasty. But again, during the inevitable tradition of the evolution of history, his untimely death left his heirs unable to expand their dominance alongside influential global factors such as the Iran-Russia wars, World War I, British intervention, and internal factors. And by reducing the force of nervousness, charisma and elite in Aqaba, the Qajar rulers, to prepare the ground for the removal of Ahmad Shah and the fall of the Qajar dynasty and the rise of Reza Khan and the emergence of the Pahlavi dynasty in 1304 AH.

<p>Women's political participation in the macro arenas of political and management decisions is one of the basic components of sustainable development. This paper aims to answer the question, "What are the decision-making frameworks of female political elites in parliamentary commissions?" In this research, the statistical sample includes 20 female representatives of the Islamic Council in ten terms. Moreover, the research method is based on qualitative and quantitative content analysis techniques, semi-structured interview techniques in the data collection process, and interview text. For data analysis, Excel and Visio were applied in the framework of various charts and models. The findings concerning multiple categories, such as decision-making framework, showed that the highest frequency of commission decision-making is based on interest and expertise. In the category of commission preference framework, the highest frequency is the cultural commission due to the cultural background, knowledge, and interest of the female political elite. Furthermore, the number of supporters and opponents of forming the women's commission is almost the same. Although relatively the number of those who support the formation of the women's commission is more, most of those who support it are from the fundamentalist faction. Concerning the causal framework of agreeing to the formation of the women's commission, the most frequent insufficiency of the faction and the discussion of the necessity of the formation and effective functioning of the women's faction have passed. The highest frequency concerning the causal framework of opposition to this commission is the lack of necessity and the sufficiency of the faction and the commission to investigate women's issues. Generally, the researcher develops a total of 3 main categories, six first sub-categories and 60 second sub-categories. Some 221 semantic expressions are identified, portrayed, and analyzed in the form of a diagram.</p> Manuscript profile
