Iran in the 21st Century: Politics, Economics & Conflict de Homa Katouzian

Iran in the 21st Century: Politics, Economics & Conflict: Iranian Studies

Editat de Homa Katouzian, Hossein Shahidi
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 oct 2007
Iran is an ancient country, an oil-exporting economy and an Islamic Republic. It experienced two full-scale revolutions in the twentieth century, the latter of which had large and important regional and international consequences, including an eight-year war with Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. And now in the twenty-first century, it confronts issues and experiences problems which have important implications for its future development and external relations.
Featuring outstanding contributions from leading sociologists, social anthropologists, political scientists and economists in the field of Iranian studies, this book is the first to examine Iran and its position in the contemporary world.
In developing this argument, topics examined include:
  • social developments in the country including gender relations
  • contemporary politics
  • international relations
  • relations with the US and Israel
  • nuclear weapons and energy programmes
  • oil and the development of the economy.

Recenzii

'This is a rich and important collection. The scholarship is original and of the highest quality, and the book is a must for anyone seeking to understand Iran's place in the modern world.' - Stephanie Cronin, Iran Heritage Foundation Fellow, University of Northampton, UK
'A highly significant volume and the first of its kind to introduce Iran in the 21st century, through a variety of themes with clarity and detachment. Featuring outstanding contributions written from a fresh perspective, this book stresses the vital need for reform for a complex and rapidly changing society. A must read for the study of contemporary Iran.' - Vanessa Martin, Professor of Middle Eastern History, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
'In a remarkably wide-ranging and forward-looking set of essays, the contributors to this volume--all prominent scholars in the field--offer the most comprehensive and trenchant analysis of Iran's economic, political, and cultural problems and prospects in the new century. More so than any other work on Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, this book will admirably serve the needs of scholars, students, journalists, and others interested in contemporary Iran and the dilemmas that it faces in its international relations.' - Ali Banuazizi, Professor of Political Science, Boston College, and Past President of the Middle East Studies Association
