The Islamic System of Iran: A Strategy for Addressing Cultural Crises in the Era of Globalization

Culture is the most extensive and rapid dimension of globalization. Globalization is a process that has created both opportunities and threats for the global community, particularly in the realm of culture. Among these threats are the weakening of commitment and social cohesion, the emergence of cultural conflicts, and consequently, cultural pluralism and identity loss. This article seeks to answer the question of what perspective and strategy can be used to position the Islamic Republic of Iran as a resolver of global cultural challenges. A descriptive-analytical method has been employed to answer this question. The best way to overcome the current global crises, especially cultural crises, is to present a system based on the fundamental principles of the holy religion of Islam, which are embodied in the Islamic Republic of Iran. This system, by emphasizing the verses of the Quran and the traditions of the infallible Imams (peace be upon them), adopts principles such as the criterion of Islamic values, God-centeredness, perfectionism, the formation of a united community, preservation of identities, pursuit of justice and the absence of discrimination, resistance to domination, and a culture of spirituality as strategies to advance its goals. Additionally, by maintaining characteristics such as the connection between religion and politics, embracing rational thoughts, accepting pluralism within unity, Islamic democracy, Islamic human rights, and a civil society based on religious ideas, it offers a systematic and precise strategy to counter the globalization project.
