Scientific literature on revolutions can be divided into three pans: Causer, phraseology or processes and internal and external consequences of revolutions. This article focuses on the third part emphasizing the Global impacts of the Islamic Revolution. The effect of the revolution on the Islamic world, is a reality which has been confirmed and supported by theoreticians, writers, researchers and even the political opponents of the revaluation. In this article an attempt is made to a conceptual framework for the explanation of this impact by providing four dimensions for the collection of plentiful data in fifty one Moslem states, and Moslem minorities in other countries, and for the theoretical organization of data on the impact of Islamic revolution. In accordance with the findings of this research, four factors namely: the attitude of Iranian society, the attitude and behavior of the Iranian government and leaders, the and attitude behavior of a given society, and finally, the attitude and behavior of the given government toward the Islamic revolution of Iran affect the influence of the revolution. Certainly, these attitudes and behaviors on both sides (Iran and the countries studied) have been changing over the times. On this basis, first a researcher can obtain a general picture on the impacts. Second, he can recognize the macro- axes of his data- system. Third, he can ascertain the main questions and crucial points of the study in each phases of the research. And fourth, he may use this model of study for conducting a comparative research design within the selected states.
