Based on Samuel Huntington’s framework, political development requires a balance between institution-building, elite professionalization, and the management of participation. In post-revolutionary Iran, the two main currents of principlists and reformists have played significant roles in this process. Principlists, emphasizing the stability of existing institutions, revolutionary values, and controlled participation, have primarily focused on strengthening formal structures and maintaining political order. In contrast, reformists, with more open approaches, have emphasized expanding social participation, increasing transparency, and enhancing institutional flexibility-though they have faced structural and institutional constraints. The research hypothesis suggests that while both currents have generally accepted most elements of Huntington’s model in theory, reformists align more closely with it, particularly in areas such as political participation, civil society, and political culture. Principlists, while addressing development, have prioritized institutional preservation and traditional values. Thus, within the Iranian context (2005–2021), reformists appear more compatible with Huntington’s model of political development.
