• Iran military policy -- Sipāh-i Pāsdārān-i Inqilāb-i Islāmī -- Nīrū-yi Quds -- International security The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has yet to be directly analysed as a military security complex with significant political influence. This book explores Iran's IRGC and Qods Force, focusing on its development following the Iranian Revolution, and how they have skilfully transformed Iran's defense doctrine to fight an irregular war that challenges the US and the West. Chapters detail the birth of the IRGC, its political development and influence within Iran, its relationship to militias and terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah, and involvement in Yemen and Iraq. Keshavarz brings first-hand knowledge of what government institutions are looking for with respect to the IRGC, outlining Iran's hybrid war capabilities that the US and West often misunderstand or miss altogether, in order to provide a foreign policy analysis that identifies the challenges of Iran's irregular capabilities and what measures are needed to combat it.

Iran and the Global Economy : petro populism, Islam and economic sanctions. (Routledge political economy of the Middle East and North Africa series, 12)

• Iran -- Economic conditions -- Foreign economic relations -- Islam The relationship between religion and the state has entered a new phase ever since the Iranian Revolution more than three decades ago. The recent mass uprisings against autocratic rulers in the Arab world have highlighted the potency of Islamist forces in post-revolutionary societies in the region, a force arguably unlocked first by Iran's version of the 'spring' three decades ago. The economic ramifications of these uprisings are of special interest at a time when the possibility of the creation of Islamic states can have implications for their economic policy and performance again. A study of the Iranian experience in itself can offer rare insights whether for its own features and characteristics or for its possible lessons and implications for recent events in the region.

• Iran -- Squatter settlements -- Vending stands -- Poor -- Political activity In the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, an active political movement emerged on the streets of Iran's largest cities. Poor people began to construct their own communities on unused urban lands, creating an infrastructure -- roads, electricity, running water, garbage collection, and shelters -- all their own. As the Iranian government attempted to evict these illegal settlers, they resisted -- fiercely and ultimately successfully. This is the story of their economic and political strategies

Forgiveness Work : mercy, law, and victims' rights in Iran

• Osanloo, Arzoo
• Princeton U.P.
• xiv,339p. pap.
• 2020
• Iran -- Justice, Administration of (Islamic law) Iran's criminal courts are notorious for meting out severe sentences-according to Amnesty International, the country has the world's highest rate of capital punishment per capita. Less known to outside observers, however, is the Iranian criminal code's recognition of forgiveness, where victims of violent crimes, or the families of murder victims, can request the state to forgo punishing the criminal. This book shows that in the Iranian justice system, forbearance is as much a right of victims as retribution. Drawing on extended interviews and first-hand observations of more than eighty murder trials, the book explores why some families of victims forgive perpetrators and how a wide array of individuals contribute to the fraught business of negotiating reconciliation

The Persian Revolution of 1905-1909. New edition (Persia Observed Series 1)

• 2006(1910)
• introduction, corrspondence, and reviews edited by Abbas Amanat (64p.) The Persian Revolution of 1905-1909" by Dr. Edward Granville Browne This book was first published in 1910 by Cambridge University Press. The Constitutional Revolution, which began in 1905, demonstrated the resilience of the Persian people. It was sparked by a protest against a Belgian customs director enforcing tariff collections to repay a Russian loan that financed the extravagant European tour of the Shah, Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar. The revolutionaries, consisting mainly of bazaar merchants, the ulama, and a small group of radical reformers, contended that Iran's oil industry was being sold to the British. They also highlighted tax breaks on imports, exports, and manufactured textiles as detrimental to Iran's economy, which the bazaar merchants had supported. Additionally, they accused the Shah of selling assets to pay interest on his massive foreign debt. The revolution ended in December 1911 when deputies of the Second Majlis were forcibly expelled and threatened with death by the Shah's cabinet, backed by 12,000 Russian troops. Internal friction, public apathy, upper-class antagonism, and open hostility from Britain and Russia led to this outcome. During this period, two different parliaments (majles) were formed due to a deposed shah and a 1907 division of the country by Britain and Russia, taking advantage of Iran's weak government. A new fundamental law was created, establishing a parliament with final approval of all loans and the budget. The leading clerics of Najaf, including Akhund Khurasani, Mirza Husayn Tehrani, and Shaykh Abdullah Mazandarani, endorsed the majles. Many challenges lay ahead for the new Persia. Over eight decades later, Edward Browne's book 'The Persian Revolution of 1905-1909' still resonates with contemporary readers.

• Arab countries -- Arab Spring -- Politics and government -- 21st century The Arab Spring promised to end dictatorship and bring self-government to people across the Middle East. Yet everywhere except Tunisia it led to either renewed dictatorship, civil war, extremist terror, or all three. In The Arab Winter, Noah Feldman argues that the Arab Spring was nevertheless not an unmitigated failure, much less an inevitable one. Rather, it was a noble, tragic series of events in which, for the first time in recent Middle Eastern history, Arabic-speaking peoples took free, collective political action as they sought to achieve self-determination.

Islam, Authoritarianism, and Underdevelopment: a global and historical comparison. (Cambridge Middle East Library, 11)

• Kuru argues that Muslims had influential thinkers and merchants in their early history, when religious orthodoxy and military rule were prevalent in Europe. However, in the eleventh century, an alliance between orthodox Islamic scholars (the ulema) and military states began to emerge. This alliance gradually hindered intellectual and economic creativity by marginalizing intellectual and bourgeois classes in the Muslim world. This important study links its historical explanation to contemporary politics by showing that, to this day, ulema-state alliance still prevents creativity and competition in Muslim countries.
