Abstract :
The main goal of the present study was to analyze political sociological developments of the Qajar government from the point of view of Vilfredo Pareto's elite circulation theory. In this article, the following research questions are investigated: How can the political developments of the Qajar dynasty be analyzed from the point of view of Vilfredo Pareto's elite circulation theory? What was the role of the elites in creating the changes of the Qajar period? The research method was practical in terms of purpose, and in terms of data collection, it was qualitative in a documentary and library style, and aslo data collection tools were slips and note-taking. Pareto introduces the circulation of elites in the history of societies as a necessary and natural factor in the direction of progress. The political sociological analysis of the political developments of the Qajar regime showed that, lack of circulation of elites in the society of the Qajar era caused the imbalance of the political system and the inappropriate response to political and social developments, in addition to proving the inefficiency of the official elites, it stopped entering new elites in the political domain. With the fall of the tsarist government in Russia, the Qajar government, which relied on the political structure of tribal kings, suffered social disintegration.
