Political Radicalism in Iran and Ahmadinejad’s Presidencies
This book offers a critical deconstruction of radicalism as a political category and through this analytical approach seeks to interpret and assess the presidencies of the former Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad. It contextualizes radicalism within a broader framework of Western-derived political categories, which are too frequently used to simplify the complexities of Iran's domestic political landscape, generally reducing any comprehensive and objective understanding of Iranian politics. Since the term radicalism is often misrepresented and misused in readings of contemporary Iran, this study examines several analogous Persian and English labels, exploring their different meanings, sig...

L'Iran contemporaneo
L’Iran è un paese misterioso, ha una cultura straordinaria ed è percorso da contraddizioni profonde. Questa volta abbiamo deciso di raccontarlo tramite una raccolta di saggi accompagnati da fotografie, cartine e spunti di approfondimento. Ricostruiremo gli eventi storici che hanno dato forma e identità all’Iran, dalla rivoluzione a oggi. Poi analizzeremo le sue istituzioni e le dinamiche che ne condizionano la politica interna e quella estera. Infine metteremo in luce gli aspetti più originali della società iraniana contemporanea, parlando di economia, ma anche di architettura, arte e letteratura. A guidarci saranno alcuni tra i massimi esperti di Iran in Italia: professori, politologi e giornalisti che collaborano con i migliori centri di ricerca e scrivono per i maggiori quotidiani nazionali. Ma non mancheranno le voci “dall’interno”, perché sappiamo quanto sono importanti i punti di vista degli altri.

Iran's Political Economy since the Revolution
This book provides a comprehensive overview of Iran's political economy since the 1979 revolution and examines the country's energy sector.
Superstition as Ideology in Iranian Politics
A superstitious reading of the world based on religion may be harmless at a private level, yet employed as a political tool it can have more sinister implications. As this fascinating book by Ali Rahnema, a distinguished Iranian intellectual, relates, superstition and mystical beliefs have endured and influenced ideology and political strategy in Iran from the founding of the Safavid dynasty in the sixteenth century to the present day. As Rahnema demonstrates through a close reading of the Persian sources and with examples from contemporary Iranian politics, it is this supposed connectedness to the hidden world that has allowed leaders such as Muhammad Reza Shah Pahlavi and Mahmud Ahmadinejad to present themselves and their entourage as representatives of the divine, and their rivals as the embodiment of evil.
Occidentalism in Iran
Negative portrayals of the West in Iran are often centred around the CIA-engineered coup of 1953, which overthrew Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddeq, or the hostage-taking crisis in 1979 following the attack on the US embassy in Tehran. Looking past these iconic events, Ehsan Bakhshandeh explores the deeper anti-imperialistic and anti-hegemonic roots of the hostility to Westernism that is evident in the Iranian press. Distinguishing between negative and outright hostile perceptions of the West - which also encompasses Britain, France and Germany - the book traces how the West is represented as the `Occident' in the country's media. From the Qajar period and the Tobacco protests of the late nin...

Democracy in Iran
Today Iran is once again in the headlines. Reputed to be developing nuclear weapons, the future of Iraq's next-door neighbor is a matter of grave concern both for the stability of the region and for the safety of the global community. President George W. Bush labeled it part of the "Axis ofEvil," and rails against the country's authoritarian leadership. Yet as Bush trumpets the spread of democracy throughout the Middle East, few note that Iran has one of the longest-running experiences with democracy in the region. In this book, Ali Gheissari and Vali Nasr look at the political history of Iran in the modern era, and offer an in-depth analysis of the prospects for democracy to flourish there....
Foreign Policy of Iran under President Hassan Rouhani's First Term (2013–2017)
The book deals with President Hassan Rouhani’s conceptual approach to foreign policy. It discusses the main pillars of thinking underpinning Rouhani’s administration and the school of thought associated with it, with a focus on issues pertaining to development as well as international relations. The signature of the “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” in 2015 showed the Iranian commitment towards the international requests on guarantees and transparency on its nuclear enrichment program. The book analyses the actual impact of the nuclear deal on the Gulf regional politics, with especial emphasis on the Iran-Saudi Arabia balance of power and the internal implications at political and economic level. It will assess the success or failure of the nuclear deal JCPOA as a foreign policy tool and it impact for Iran and the region. The book also analyses Iran’s relations with other gulf Arab states, Latin America, Africa and its ‘war on terror’ along with its allies Syria and Iraq.
