Abstract

Objective: Many analyzes of institutional issues are devoted to economic and political analyzes, and less attention has been paid to the role of cultural components and social movements by institutionalists. Today, however, cultural and social phenomena have a significant impact on international relations. The Arba'een Pilgrimage is also a phenomenon that can be studied in this regard. Accordingly, the analysis of why and how institutional elements affect the consistency of a regional order is of great importance.
Method: In methodology, the statistical population and research indicators will be studied using quantitative methods. This article is descriptive-analytical in terms of purpose and methodical in terms of method and field survey in terms of data collection.
Findings: Based on this, the question that arises is that the institutional components of the Arba'een Pilgrimage have been able to play an important role in the Shiite geoculture by influencing the consistency and reshaping of the regional order in the framework of the Shiite geoculture.
Conclusion: Institutionalization at three levels of transnational (focusing on cultural pluralism), transnational (focusing on international integration) and national (focusing on the role of government) has led to the consolidation of the Shiite geocultural order at the regional level.
