Abstract
Using the theory of resource mobilization by Charles Tilly, this article attempts to understand the process of mobilization in both Constitutional and Islamic revolutions of Iran. The main question is how the resource mobilization in both Constitutional and Islamic revolutions has occurred. The method used in this research is historical-comparative and documentary. Based on the questions derived from the theoretical model, differences and similarities in both revolutions are extracted. The main differences in these revolutions are in mobilization ideologies and leadership, and the main similarities are in repression, facilitation and the power of revolutionary groups against the weakness of Qajar and Pahlavi regimes.
