Abstract
The Planning Organization played a major role during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah as the main institution for formulating and implementing Iran's economic and social modernization policies. However, many of the goals of these programs, especially in the industrial and social fields, faced challenges in practice due to political, economic, and structural factors. The purpose of this article is to examine the internal and external obstacles to the Planning Organization in achieving the policies and goals of Iran's modernization programs during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah. The question of this article is posed as follows: What obstacles prevented the Planning Organization and technocrats from effectively achieving the goals of the country's modernization during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah? Our hypothesis is that during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah, the Planning Organization and technocrats were unable to achieve the goals of the country's economic and social modernization due to political interference, weak institutional coordination, lack of financial and infrastructure resources, and cultural and social resistance. The results show that despite having modernization ideas, the planning organization and technocrats during the era of Mohammad Reza Shah faced challenges such as political interference and weak institutional coordination in practice. Also, the lack of financial and infrastructure resources made the implementation of development plans incomplete and unsustainable. Finally, cultural and social resistance to modernization policies caused modernization projects not only to fail, but also to exacerbate social dissatisfaction and crises. This research was conducted using an explanatory-historical method and using historical documentary sources and scientific articles. Our analysis was based on the theoretical concepts of modernization and development
