Sociopolitical Currentology: Essence and Methodology

Objective: The research aims to present and design a macro theoretical-methodological model in the field of current studies (jaryan shenasi) to enable a systematic, interdisciplinary, and rule-governed understanding, analysis, and explanation of complex societal developments (particularly Iran before and after the Islamic Revolution). This work has been conducted in response to the need for an independent methodological approach in this field. Therefore, the research addresses this main question: What is sociopolitical current studies and how is it conducted?Method: In answering this question, the effort has been to define the process of implementing sociopolitical current studies in three stages by introducing a method-theory founded on the integration of descriptive-inductive, explanatory-analytical, and critical-diagnostic approaches:۱. Preliminaries; ۲. Data Analysis (Methodological Model) including: Definition, Description, Explanation, and Analysis of the Current; and ۳. Synthesis of the Current.Results: This proposed scientific framework introduces sociopolitical current studies as an analytical framework capable of analyzing a significant portion of developments across various social, cultural, economic, and political domains in relation to one another, and of enabling the identification of intellectual-social currents in diverse societies.Conclution: Consequently, in response to the question of what sociopolitical current studies is and how it is conducted, this research provides a macro model that aligns with the traditional expectations of social sciences for presenting analytical frameworks such as systemic, game-theoretic, or discourse models. This novel method, as a tool for a coherent understanding of complex sociopolitical phenomena, enables the systematic analysis of societal transformations.
