Abstract

Institutionalized participation, on the one hand, leads to the development of democracy and legitimation of the states, on the other hand increases the level of national security. Moreover people's confidence in the government increases the stability of the state, and enhances development and national security. From the Islamic point of view, the role of people is not limited only to legitimizing the goverments, but they have a basic role in raising their efficiency. The present research was conducted to achive the following objectives: 1) Measuring the level of politico - social alienation, politico - Social participation, and participation in the national security. 2) Finding correlations among the variables of politico - social alienation, politico - social participation and the national security. 3) Studying the relationship of variables such as age, gender, religion, race, marriage, education and income with the level of politico - social participation. The result of the research shows that socio - political participation is very effective in increasing or decreasing national security coefficient; and that politico - social alienation seriously threatens national security.
