Abstract
A forward-looking research using the method of comparative institutionalism using Adrian Leftwich's developmental state theory to examine and compare the issue of economic development with a focus on the politics-state-development triad in Iran and Japan in the period of 1850-1900 has paid This article is historical comparative in terms of developmental goal and in terms of institutional method, and its data has been collected by library method and qualitative content analysis.
The main question of the research is that the level of arbitrariness of the government institutions, the characteristics of the civil system and the historical situation and the elites of Iran and Japan in relation to the international system, how has it affected the experience of development in the historical period in question in these countries? The obtained results indicate that Japan, due to the creation of an independent government and the creation of a network of developmentalist elites based on a new, strong and coherent bureaucracy in the form of the Meiji Empire, was able to smooth the platform of appropriate international relations. achieve success and be on the path of development. But due to the beginning of the collapse of the bureaucracy, the lack of establishment of a proper bureaucracy and the establishment of the autocratic government, as well as the inability to create a network of elites, Iran could not achieve this important task, and therefore the issue of development for Iran remained a concept of regret and mystery.
