Over the past few decades, ethnic studies in Iran have increased a number of causes. Nevertheless, it seems that ethnic problems in Iran have become an unresolved subject. One of the reasons for the ineffectiveness of the policies of the ethnic management system is information sources far from field facts. This research is based on the ideas of Mead, Blumer, Jenkins, Thomas, Hall and Milton Bennet in relation to collective identity with the aim of identifying the Vacuums and epistemic damage of ethnic studies in Iran around these three axes: 1. Introduction, Review and Classification of Early Ethnic Studies in Iran 2. Checking and criticism of Ethnic studies in Iran 3. Propose a model for ethnic studies in Iran. For research purposes, descriptive-analytical method and the Technique of Review map and the form of extraction of materials have been used. One of the most important achievements of the research is designing the field of sociology of identity based on three fundamental theorems of the concepts of the media world, the real world and identity, along with the presentation of a model of diverse ethnic identity.

The process of globalization is both a disputable issue and an ambiguous one and it has been approached through various and sometimes contradictory views. One of the major topics related to the process of globalization is the subject of survival or persistence of local identities in the mainstream of global economy and culture. Different views have been presented in this respect. One of them claims that globalization has a negative influence on local identities, and eliminates the differences. Some others, however, state an opposite view. This paper has identified three fundamental but different approaches and examines them by the research’s data .This research which its subjects are Fars, Turk and Kurd students of Tabriz University, indicates that as the global identity among the students’ increases, their local identities decrease. In other words, with enhancement of globalization process, local identities starts to decrease and it means that second and third approach’s theories in the research is rejected and the first approach’s theories are confirmed.

The present study attempts to offer a model for social and cultural solidarity: a model based on ethnic and cultural diversity which help to the richness of a culture. Therefore, different approaches to culture, ethnicity and nation would be discussed and then, the concept of intercultural policies and thus its social and cultural consequences will be analyzed: the policies which are born in a special geographical situation and correlated with specific historical events. These cultural policies could not be applied unless the geographical, political, historical, cultural and social dimensions are taken into acount. In this regard, application of cultural policies in Iran will be evaluated and an appropriate model (structural unity and cultural pluralism) will be introduced which reinforces not only the concept of nation and national solidarity but also the cultural diversity.
