Democracy In Iran : History And The Quest For Liberty

  • Democracy In Iran : History And The Quest For Liberty

  • Attribution

    Ali Gheissari, Vali Nasr

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2006

  • Links

  • Description

    The concept of democracy in Iran today may appear to be a reaction to authoritarianism, but it is an old idea with a complex history, one that is tightly interwoven with the main forces that have shaped Iranian society and politics, institutions, identities, and interests. Indeed, the demand for democracy first surfaced in Iran a century ago at the end of the Qajar period, and helped produce Iran’s surprisingly liberal first constitution in 1906. In the process they provide not just a fresh look at Iran’s politics but also a new understanding of the way in which democracy can develop in a Muslim country.

  • The Kurds And The State : Evolving National Identity In Iraq, Turkey, And Iran

  • Attribution

    Denise Natali

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Syracuse University Press, 2005

  • Links

  • Description

    In tracing the evolution of Kurdish nationalism, Denise Natali shows that, contrary to popular theories, there is nothing natural or fixed about Kurdish identity or the configuration that Kurdish nationalism assumes. Although Kurdish communities have maintained some shared sense of Kurdishness, Kurdayeti (the mobilization of Kurdish identity) is interwoven with a much larger series of identities within the “political space” of each Kurdish group.
