This study has investigated the effects of social factors on tendency towards democracy. Data for this analysis were collected from a sample of 643 citizens of Tehran aged 20 years and older. The theoretical framework was formulated using theories of Bourdiou, Inglehart, Habermas and Giddens. Social factors included social class, cultural capital, media usage, and religiosity. Descriptive findings reveal that majority of the Tehrani citizens have low tendency towards democracy. Only 4 percent of them have high level of tendency towards democracy. These citizens were more democratic in their attitudes than in their conducts. Explanatory findings show that there is significant relation among various dimensions of social class (i.e., cultural capital, economic capital and social status) with the tendency towards democracy. In addition, there is also significant correlation between cultural factors (i.e., social tolerance, social participation, democratic attitudes towards family) with the tendency towards democracy. Findings demonstrated that cultural capital was the most significant predictor of the dependent variable

After collapsing the bipolar system, nature of the new international system was complicated. Due to this ambiguity, many Scenarios have been brought forward to explain future of the world system. In this regard, many scenarios such as unipolar, multi polar and uni- multi polar have been mentioned to clarify the future of the world system. This article tries to explain these questions: what is the most probable kind of world system and what is the role of Islamic world in such a system? To answer these questions the authors believe that the nature of current international system is in transitional mode from unipolar and uni-multi polar to multi-polar one. The main players of such a system beside the United States are rising powers like china, India, EU, Japan and the Islamic world. In this situation, the Islamic world because of its geopolitical, cultural, resources, great population, have the main role as a pole in future international system. This article has been written through analyticaldescriptive methods according to library resources.
