Guardians Of The Revolution : Iran And The World In The Age Of The Ayatollahs

  • Guardians Of The Revolution : Iran And The World In The Age Of The Ayatollahs

  • Attribution

    Ray Takeyh

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2009

  • Description

    Tracing the course of Iranian policy since the 1979 revolution, Takeyh identifies four distinct periods: the revolutionary era of the 1980s, the tempered gradualism following the death of Khomeini and the end of the Iran-Iraq war in 1989, the “reformist” period from 1997-2005 under President Khatami, and the shift toward confrontation and radicalism since the election of President Ahmadinejad in 2005. Takeyh shows that three powerful forces–Islamism, pragmatism, and great power pretensions–have competed in each of these periods, and that Iran’s often paradoxical policies are in reality a series of compromises between the hardliners and the moderates, often with wild oscillations between pragmatism and ideological dogmatism.

  • Attribution

    Kasra Naji

  • Publication Details

    Book, University of California Press, 2008

  • Description

    While Naji documents Ahmadinejad’s often strange behavior, he also shows him to be full of complex contradictions: a man gripped by apocalyptic beliefs, yet capable of switching spiritual allegiance in the quest for power. Kasra Naji takes us inside the shadowy council chambers of Tehran, and shows us the plots, passions, and personalities that will influence Ahmadinejad’s next move, while the world waits with bated breath.

Shakespeare, Persia, And The East

  • Shakespeare, Persia, And The East

  • Attribution

    by Cyrus Ghani

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st hardcover ed, Mage Publishers, 2008

  • Description

    To illuminate the creative uses Shakespeare made of the East, this book first looks at the life of the playwright himself, then at the dynasties that did so much to shape England and Persia in that tumultuous age. Other sections in the book profile key figures in the efforts to forge a connection between the two lands, with particular focus on the colorful Sherleys and their fatally ambitious sponsor, the Earl of Essex a great admirer of Shakespeare.

Engaging Iran : The Rise Of A Middle East Powerhouse And America’s Strategic Choice

  • Engaging Iran : The Rise Of A Middle East Powerhouse And America's Strategic Choice

  • Attribution

    Nathan Gonzalez

  • Publication Details

    Book, Praeger Security International, 2007

  • Links

  • Description

    Iran is poised to re-emerge as the powerhouse of the Middle East in the 21st century. Already taking on massive export and energy diversification projects and working to acquire a nuclear weapons arsenal, Iran is likely to attain the stature of regional power in the coming years, thanks in no small measure to the vacuum created by the chaos in Iraq, which for many years served as a counterweight to Iran in the region. This promise of democracy, set in the wider scope of Iranian Shi’i jurisprudence and practice, is set to elevate the largest segment of Iranian society–its educated and pro-American youth–to the forefront of Iranian politics.
