Yemen'de İran Kimliğinin İnşası: Mehdilik Üzerinden Bir Tartışma
The Construction of Iranian Identity In Yemen: A Discussion on Mahdism

Summary/Abstract: The social world, created by culture, norm, knowledge, ideology and ideas, affects the identity of states and the latter forms interests of states and ultimately their actions. The social norms that form the Iranian identity dominate the actions of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In this sense, Mahdism, one of the most important corner stones of Iranian identity,plays an important role in the construction of this identity. The Islamic Republic of Iran securitizes countries such as Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Pakistan and Afghanistan by using the Mahdi discourse and tries to justify taking urgent measures in these countries. That the most of Zaydis in Yemen follow the Husi family and adopted some Iranian customs and rituals, and thus diverged from the Arab identity, are the subjects of agent-structure debate of the constructivism.
