Abstract

The model of Guardianship which is the product of Shiite jurisprudential-political thought, it has been one of the most important topics in political thought for the past four decades which today has crossed the geographical borders of Iran and it is now being proposed as an alternative theory of government in research circles. The question of this research which has done in citation analysis method is what are the key elements and variables of the Islamic Guardianship? How can its internal structure and network be characterized?
The hypothesis of this paper is that the Islamic government is an interconnected system and set that with the help of the model and method of the system, its conceptual, normative, structural and functional elements can be extracted and its internal network can be explained and characterize in a logical communication action. According to the method and system framework, the research findings are: In its historical course, the «theory of Guardianship" has nourished and gained experience from the two important components of «text" and «time and place". In this sense, this theory is not merely an «ideal," but an ideal that polished in the context of «historical facts." In other words, the structure of the Islamic Guardianship from the perspective of Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei is subject to two categories of fixed and variable criteria.
On the one hand, the political structure and the way its institutions are arranged, is subject to the requirements of the time and in accordance with the latest achievements of human political knowledge, and on the other hand, it is based on «fixed Islamic rules and standards". Also, in a systematic, transnational and broader view, it can be said that the Islamic political system is composed of a set of social and political institutions that organize the structure of the Shiite Guardianship in a network of legitimate and participatory communication.
