Produktbeschreibung

This book is the first comprehensive analytical study of the forces which have been shaping and changing modern Iran and its relations with the rest of the world. It looks at the roots of the 1979 revolution and the forces unleashed during the modernization process under the Pahlavi monarchy. Applying a range of theoretical approaches to understanding the Islamic republic¿s neo-authoritarian political system, Anoushiravan Ehteshami reflects on how the country¿s new elite emerged and how these new political forces have changed Iran, the stresses on its political system, the forces shaping the country¿s political economy, and the Islamic republic¿s international relations.

Rezensionen

"Iran: Stuck in Transition exemplifies the best of Ehteshami's scholarship. It is meticulously researched and heavily referenced. Any serious study of contemporary Iran must necessarily take into account Ehteshami's arguments and analyses here." - Mehran Kamrava, Georgetown University, Qatar; review in Iranian Studies

"Iran, Stuck in Transition is another fascinating intellectual enterprise by prolific Durham College University professor Anoushiravan Ehteshami. This book is an analysis of various aspects of post-revolutionary Iranian politics. The angle that Ehteshami picked for his analysis makes it unique among the intellectual works in this area. He provides a nuanced portrayal of Iranian politics that casts light on how seemingly conservative and status-quo-oriented "social and political forces in a revolutionary environment" respond to the tides of change from within and without of the polity (p. 2)." - Nima Baghdadi, Florida International University
