Die britische Iranpolitik 1946 - 1954
Der Iran hat in der Forschung zu den Anfängen des Kalten Krieges an Bedeutung gewonnen. Diese Dissertationsschrift knüpft daran an und führt sie zeitlich fort. Gleichzeitig setzt sie neue Akzente, indem sie die Bedeutung der Diplomaten vor Ort für die britische Iranpolitik nachweist. Insgesamt erwies sich die britische Außenpolitik im Iran angesichts der anti-britischen Stimmungen, der nationalen Bewegungen und des heraufziehenden sowjetisch-amerikanischen Gegensatzes als erstaunlich reaktiv. Der Niedergang der dominanten Stellung Großbritanniens im Mittleren Osten und die Ablösung durch die USA setzte ein.

Anglo-Iranian Relations since 1800
With contributions from renowned experts in the field, this book provides an excellent background to the history of Anglo-Iranian relations. Focusing on the political and economic relationship of Britain and issues of strategic sensitivity, the book also illuminates British relations with society and the state and describes the interaction between various representatives and agents of both countries. Anglo-Iranian relations have had a long and complex history, characterized on the one hand by mistrust and intrusion and on the other by mutual exchange and understanding. This book explores the intriguing history of this interactive relationship since 1800, looking at it from a variety of perspectives. Drawing on previously unavailable documents in English and Persian, the book argues that Iran in the nineteenth century had a national state, which strongly defended the national interests.
