Aghdaci argues that Iran has not yet sustained political development due to negligence by its leaders, resulting in a decline of public trust in post-revolutionary governments. He takes a statistical look at the reduction of social capital in Iran and suggests ways this trend can be reversed and political development can The role of social capital in political development and their relevance to Hashemi, Khatami, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's presidencies has been relatively neglected in the scholarship. In Social Capital in Political Development in Iran, Ali Abolali Aghdaci fills that void by discussing how states can create social development platforms and proposing an integrated model of social capital and political development. Aghdaci argues that the path to peak political development has not yet been sustained by any government in Iran because in all post-revolutionary governments, the people's trust in the government has fallen sharply due to the negligence and practices of the leaders in the political system. This book takes a statistical look at the reduction of social capital in Iran and suggests ways this trend can be reversed and political development can be maximized.
