Abstract :
Along the line of changes in the internal order and the globalized environment, the need for conceptual framework for understanding pluralistic identity of Iranian society is felt. In spite of this civic need, neither the past order due to the ethnic integration could have preserved the Iranian identity prior to the modernity nor is the attempt for replacing the national identity with other identity could be internalized. In this article, the capability of the model” identity discourse’ in materialization of ideals in constitutions and the realization of the rights of citizens is examined. So, the hypothesis presented is that with the model of “identity discourse” the harmony of Iranian national identity in a changing environment of the new order could be preserved. Social harmony is obtained on the base of the role played by the institutions of nation-state. However, in spite of modernity outlook, the identity of other layers of society is not going to be seriously threatened or ruined.
