Abstract :

Partisan is one of the most important indicators of political development and a factor for political stability and participation. History of partisanship in Iranian society dates back to constitutional era. Establishments, divisions and successive dissolutions of parties from the constitutional era to the date refer to existence of various issues in front of this social phenomenon. Majority of researches in field of political parties are focused on structural factors and macro social as state features, power relations and political culture and party activists action have been less analyzed. Examining the patterns of party activists action in the 60s to 90s solar can help us better understanding of damages in front of this social phenomenon. In this study, with an approach affected by Max Weber's theory of action, relevant texts of the most effective parties in the decades were evaluated. Research results from the study show that party activists action pattern is more emotional and traditional than rational (as required the parties activities and consolidation), therefore the partisan phenomenon is challenged by basic questions. The reason for existence of such challenges in front of party activists is an issue that needs independent investigations by itself.
