Abstract

Mainstream sociology under positivism has sought to provide universal theory, in one hand, and the historiography has attempted to Narrative description of Events, in the other hand. Pathological studies show that both are suffering from extremism; so that mainstream sociology have neglected to study of special affairs and historiography  has not been able to build and provide theoretical generalization. In The passing of the problems, combining sociology and historiography can provides an appropriate methodological approach to study of social and political phenomena, especially in comparative studies. In this paper, along with addressing the development of historical sociology approach, It is argued that the achievements of the new generation of historical sociology scholars, because of emphasis on the role of culture and diversity of modernization processes and outcomes, provides  an appropriate model for the study of the socio-political phenomena
