Extended Abstract
The multiplicity of ethnic groups with political tendencies in current societies is a potential origin for weakening concord and a threat to the national integrity of states due to the natural differences with the ruling political regimes. The existence of ethnicity theory and following that imagination of national security weakening is changed to an extended theory in analyzing ethnicity and political sovereignty relationships. But this theory cannot be extended in some states which have multiple ethnos. The aim of this research is to show that whether the existence of the ethnicity and divergence theory is in conformity with the ethnic conditions of Iran. The applied data includes the stable elements of ethnic convergence territory, geographical bases and stability of territory; sovereignty and political structure; historical continuity, cultural bases (and credible sources of ethnic threat) modern state, relative deprivation, ethnic and non-ethnic elites, regional and supra-regional threats.
Research conclusions show that ethnic multiplicity in Iran had not only weakened national security but had perpetuated Iran identity based on the stable elements of ethnic convergence and ethnic groups are part of Iran’s identity and form based on long history and deployment in Iran. Therefore, the proposed threats in relation with ethnic groups is not radical and material and are more than new challenges and changes which can be resolved by appropriate and correct management.
Major ethnic groups with political pluralism in contemporary society's nature due to differences with the ruling political systems weaken a potential source of consensus and national cohesion is a threat. Hypothesis of ethnicity and consequently thought to undermine national security analysis Hypothesis of possible expansion relations and ethnicity has become political sovereignty. But this hypothesis cannot be that some countries with multiple ethnic groups are generalized. The purpose of this study is showing that there are diverging hypotheses in relation to ethnicity and ethnic conditions of matches.
Iran vast land of ancient history, heir to the pervasive culture thousands of years the range variable language, religion, dialect, the customs and habits and Comparative etc., with flexibility and tolerance has created a dramatic and religious groups-linguistic during several centuries lived together and experience historical and cultural heritage have business units.
