Abstract

However almost five decades have passed from the beginning of political marketing research in the world &two decades in Iran, the path of research always needs to be reviewed pathologically. Surveys show that the scientific &practical position of political marketing in Iran is not desirable &it is essential to draw out its strengths &weaknesses scientifically for achieving more effectiveness. In this regard, summarization, critical review &providing suggestions for future research are the objectives of this article. To achieve those, a systematic literature review with a critical approach is implemented in order to prepare a description of Iranian political marketing research &also implications for further research. Results indicate that there are four improvable dimensions(including repetitive &limited subjects, a superficial perspective, carelessness about theoretical development &less research in other fields) &three strengths(including exploiting emerging concepts, a strategic &process view, &a problem-solving approach &domestic view) for political marketing research in Iran.
