Meanings
-
(uncountable) An Iranian nationalist ideology centered on the rule and legacy of the Pahlavi dynasty (1925–1979).
Like Kemalism in Turkey, Pahlavism in monarchical Iran, and the Third World's postcolonial emancipatory movements, such as Baathism in Syria and Iraq, Heydarism is modernist.
2017, The New Geopolitics of the South Caucasus, page 42:Certainly, the attempts by the Shah to generate intermediate institutions of legitimation in the post-1960 period were a failure; the Majlis and the parties in it were phantoms, and neither Pahlavism, as a national ideology stressing the pre-Islamic past, nor authoritarian concepts of farmandari or 'commandism' were widely accepted.
1981, Journal of International Affairs, volume 35, page 195:Pahlavism professed the importance of the 1906 Constitution but did not advocate the type of free elections characterizing the West's liberal democracies.
