Aiming to solve its legitimacy crisis, the Pahlavi Government tried to develop a speci-c ideology, and to present a new identity to Iran’s society based on that ideology during 1960’s and 1970’s. is need arose because of the economic and social modernization policy which Pahlavi’s Government adopted during this period in order to keep pace with global developments. e main question of the present research is: which key elements and foundations formed this ideology adopted by Mohammad Reza Shah's Government, and to what extent did the fundamental functions of this ideological system help in recreating the legitimacy of the Pahlavi Government? is research studies this subject through historical and descriptive-analytic methods of investigation. is study concludes that according to the records, the Pahlavi Government used some elements such as the White Revolution, Imperial Nationalism, secularism, pseudo-nativism, pseudo-religiousness and pseudo-pro-democracy to create this ideology during 1960's and 70’s. e ideology was not a practical success in supporting the legitimacy of the Pahlavi Government and solving its legitimacy crisis, since it did not meet the real requirements of society and was not in compliance with global developments.
