Abstract
The aim of this study is to explore the concept of Max Weber
regarding Legitimacy in prospect of traditional, Charismatic
and Legal-Rational in relation to Ayatollah Khomeini who was
the founder of Iranian Islamic Revolution 1979. This study tries
to explore the returning to Weber can elucidate several facts
about the legitimacy. By this paper tried to show that how
much similarity of political system of Iran to the western
context (Weberian) with demarcations of power. The system is
unique as its roots of its legitimacy are traditional, charismatic
and rational-legalistic. Today, Iranian political structure was
developed by the teachings and models of Imam Khomeini
which consists on the combination of Islamic theocracy and
with bits of democracy on the thoughts of Max Weber. Max
Weber considers the importance of strong legitimacy for
political order’s constancy. The concept of Max Weber about
legal legitimacy relating to democratic legitimation chucks the
new light on the theoretical legitimacy discrepancy in
transnational power that sorts it to look less histrionic. Historic,
investigative and qualitative methods are used in this paper
