19世紀イランにおける政治家の初期キャリア -ホセイン・コリー・ハーン・マーフイーの場合-

抄録

There have been some studies of the Qajar dynasty which have highlighted political figures by examining each one of them from various points of view. It is thought that in addition to the analysis of historical events of significance, such studies are also needed to understand the Qajar political history. In this paper, I will examine the early political career of Hosein Qoli Khan-e Mafi, who was Prime Minister at the beginning of the twentieth century, and depict his growth process as a political figure.
In his early political life, Hosein Qoli worked under Hesam al-Saltaneh one of the influential members of the Royal Family. He served Hesam al-Saltaneh mainly as a secretary at first, and later as a provincial governor's agent in Tehran and as a chief official of Esfahan. He also managed Hesam al-Saltaneh's private property, which involved dealing with a merchant and attempting to purchase estates for his master's fortune.
After about fifteen years' service, Hosein Qoli was forced to leave Hesam al-Saltaneh because of human relation troubles in the political arena: the rivalry between Hesam al-Saltaneh and the prime minister and the rivalry among the people serving Hesam al-Saltaneh.
It was normal for those people like Hosein Qoli, who were neither members of the Royal Family nor members of another influential family to serve and work under a politically powerful person. Through his experience under Hesam al-Saltaneh, Hosein Qoli learned administrative work, the economic life of those in power, and the way in which human relations in the political world worked.
