Abstract

The present study, for scientific use, aimed to combine and integrate the presented
analyzes of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, which is based on Weber's charisma theory
with different approaches and in the form of individual and scattered studies in the form
of books, articles, interviews, dissertations and thesis. To this aim, with the qualitative
method and meta-analyzed technique, and the scientific method of the volume of
research, time, place, the format of works, research methods have been used, and the
findings of Weber's analyzes of the Islamic Revolution, similar species have been
identified. The statistical population is 56 of the existing works of 37 domestic and foreign
authors and analysts. The findings indicated that a group of works acknowledge the power
of Weber's theory in analyzing the Islamic Revolution. Another group is trying to
empower Weber's thesis in analyzing the Islamic Revolution using adaptation and
correction. The third type of works indicates a critical approach confronting the arrival of
Weberian analysis and the inconsistency and inability of this theory to analyze the Islamic
Revolution of Iran. Thus, meta-analysis shows different and even conflicting types of
analysis of Weber's charismatic leadership theory and its usage in studying the Iranian
revolution in the contemporary century
