Political sociology, as the center of functional rationality of modern politics, is a newly emerging phenomenon. However, the failure and incompatibility of its common paradigms in explaining and guiding the social and civil realities of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the field of theory and practice has revealed the necessity of compiling political sociology knowledge at the level of the Islamic Revolution. Therefore, the present study aims to explain the nature, characteristics, and capacities of an alternative paradigm titled “political sociology of tadbir-based” as the metatext of social governance in the Islamic Republic of Iran. This study, by adopting a qualitative approach and descriptive-analytical method, has extracted and explained the theoretical framework of tadbir-based political sociology. The findings show that management-oriented political sociology, centered on the “nature of Islamic politics” and in accordance with the indigenous requirements of Iran, is able to redefine and give meaning to the key components and foundations of social governance under the “tadbir” paradigm. This paradigm has the theoretical and practical capacity necessary to rebuild and improve the social governance system of the Islamic Republic of Iran and can provide a coherent framework and solutions to improve social and political measures to strengthen effective and sustainable governance.
