After World War II, modernization is awash with numerous developing countries. Many countries are facing the challenge of establishing a modern state, they also harbor a strong desire to wealthy and powerful. In the role of these two trends together, these countries have embarked on reform and modernization construction of the modern nation-state journey. The face of the tide of the modernization construction of modern nation-state impact and the pressure of a response to various countries are different.Pahlavi Dynasty in Iran during the reign of a feeling of achievement and success of the modernization construction of the modern nation-state a strong desire in the economic, political and ideological sphere implemented a series of reforms, but reforms fail in a great undertaking on the verge of success. The reason for the Shah regime had failed to deal with development and stability, tradition and modernity, such as inheritance and the relationship between critical. The face of the impact of the tide of modernization, the Shah to reform the regime, its original purpose was to develop the economy, enhance national strength, and consolidate his rule, it is beyond doubt.Since 1960's to the Iranian Government to implement the white revolution, a series of socio-economic reform measures has been introduced, Iran has experienced an unprecedented intense shock and profound changes. In this process, reform and conservative, development and stability, tradition and modernity, inheritance and criticism during the conflicts and has always been intertwined.
