Abstract

The scholarship on the consequences of social revolutions contends that social revolutions boost state capacity and strengthen the state’s developmental projects. Social justice and addressing the needs of ordinary citizens were central themes in the discourse of the Iranian Revolution and the Islamic Republic that emerged as the post-revolutionary regime with the fall of the monarchy in Iran. In this essay, I assess the performance of the post-revolutionary state in Iran according to various development indicators, comparing the post-revolutionary regime with the pre-revolutionary regime. My examination of indicators relating to health, education, poverty, income inequality, and housing presents more of a mixed result than the overall improvement that scholarship has anticipated and that the post-revolutionary regime promised. Furthermore, there is evidence of declines in some important areas of development and welfare provision. Based on this analysis, I propose directions for future research on the developmental outcome of revolutions.

伊朗的社会发展和革命
关于社会革命后果的学术研究认为,社会革命提高了国家能力,加强了国家的发展项目。社会正义和解决普通公民的需求是伊朗革命和伊斯兰共和国话语的中心主题,随着伊朗君主制的垮台,伊斯兰共和国作为革命后的政权出现。在本文中,我根据各种发展指标评估了伊朗革命后国家的表现,并将革命后政权与革命前政权进行了比较。我对健康、教育、贫困、收入不平等和住房等指标的研究,与其说是学术界所预期的、革命后政权所承诺的全面改善,不如说结果好坏参半。此外,有证据表明,发展和福利提供的一些重要领域有所下降。在此基础上,提出了未来对革命发展结果的研究方向。
