چکیده
|
It is argued in this paper that the nonformation or nongrowth of democracy in the middle east is related to geopolitical centrality. the network analysis of iran and saudi arabia in terms of geopolitical centrality indicates that the high geopolitical centrality of these two countries in the existing geopolitical subnetworks at this region is one of the important barriers against realization and promotion of democracy. in iran before 1979 revolution, its high centrality under geopolitical subnetworks of security and the west and also after the 1979 revolution, its high centrality in several ideological subnetworks have made slower liberal democratic growth in this region.in contrast in saudi arabia, high centrality of this country since 1980s in ideological subnetworks and its role in geopolitical subnetworks of west and security on three past decades has hindered formation of liberal democracy in this country..

Abstract
|
It is argued in this paper that the nonformation or nongrowth of democracy in the Middle East is related to geopolitical centrality. The network analysis of Iran and Saudi Arabia in terms of geopolitical centrality indicates that the high geopolitical centrality of these two countries in the existing geopolitical subnetworks at this region is one of the important barriers against realization and promotion of democracy. In Iran before 1979 Revolution, its high centrality under geopolitical subnetworks of security and the west and also after the 1979 Revolution, its high centrality in several ideological subnetworks have made slower Liberal democratic growth in this region.in contrast In Saudi Arabia, high centrality of this country since 1980s in ideological subnetworks and its role in geopolitical subnetworks of west and security on three past decades has hindered formation of Liberal democracy in this country..
