Abstract
This study seeks to examine the extent to which the middle class may serve as an influential factor in crisis management and strategic security within Islamic governance in the Islamic Republic of Iran. It appears that the middle class's impact on strategic security and the management of political, social, cultural, and economic crises -through strengthening influential signifiers in each of these components- could lead to either stability or instability in these elements. The present research is fundamental in nature, employing a qualitative-interpretive methodology with information inferred from existing documents and discussed data through a descriptive-analytical approach. The research findings indicate that the stability or instability of the aforementioned components- including managing political crises through establishing political legitimacy and dynamism in political parties and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), managing social crises through strengthening civil society and social strata, managing cultural crises by creating cultural mechanisms and enhancing education and academia, and managing economic crises through empowering and engaging the private sector along with comprehensive, codified programs- can be achieved. The objective of this research is to analyze the middle class's impact on the aforementioned crisis management domains and societal security.
