Abstract
The centralized Safavid government led to the exercise of despotic authority by the rulers through a bureaucratic system.The court of Shah Sultan Hussein exercised extensive civil, military, and civil authority over the capital and other central cities, which gradually declined significantly as the central government became increasingly weak. One of the most factors in the decline of the Safavid government's supervision over the country's provincial centers was the competition courtiers. Therefore, in the current research, considering the orientation of historical sources, the question is answered: What connection did the court of Shah Sultan Hussein have with the central cities? In order to answer this question, the current study analyzes and interprets these characteristics and their effects on the central cities of the period in question, using the historical research method and the classification of the civil, military, and civil relations of the reign of Shah Sultan Hussein. Given the lack of coherent research on the connection between the rule of Shah Sultan Hussein and the aforementioned cities, the research findings show that in the late Safavid period, on the one hand, the strict supervision of the central court prevented the autonomy of the central cities, and on the other hand, the kinship ties of courtiers with provincial officials and court intrigues prevented the provinces from seeking grievances and establishing constructive relations with the central government. A process that is considered to be one of the important factors in the weakness and collapse of the Safavid government in the long term.
