Reflections on The Social and Economic Structure of Safavid Persia at Its Zenith

Extract

It is generally agreed that the rise of the Safavids in the sixteenth century marks a new period in the history of Persia. Hegemony of one dynasty over nearly all the Persian-speaking world, accompanied by the swift forced conversion of the overwhelming majority of the Persians into Twelver Shi'ism, resulted in the emergence of the first Persian state in the modern era. Such a signal event could not but invest the Persian state and society with major, fundamental institutions. The same institutions have continued to characterize and to influence Persia down to the Constitutionalist Revolution of 1905-1911. It is these institutions that constitute the “traditional” features of the society against which the forces of “modernization” have been operating since the adoption of the Constitution and the Supplementary Fundamental Law of 1907.
