Iran is now at the center of political and social developments in the Middle East. This book examines the reform of the judicial system in 20th century Iran and is the first to relate state-building process with rule of law promotion and judicial reform in the region. This subject occupies the critical juncture of three developments in the contemporary study of Iranian society as an important and early case of social revolution and reform in the Middle East: the state-building process in a non-Western country throughout the 20th century, the incorporation of a non-Western Muslim country into the Western legal framework through codification and transplantation (1911-1979), and the Islamicization process after this critical social development and the Islamic Revolution of 1979. This exceptional study furthers our understanding of Iranian modern history as well as the democratization process, human rights and rule of law issues in the Middle East.

To avoid lengthy discussions I have provided just a very general picture.
This work depicts the evolution of the Iranian political mafia in detail by explaining the actions, discourses, and narratives that govern it. The ruling authorities in the Islamic Republic have carried all three dominant features of a mafia in the five decades from the 1970s to 2020s: 1) the non-transparent organization, 2) recruitment from professional and amateur criminals and 3) the red lines of the circle that should be observed, and if not, the violators should be purged. The constant purification is a part of the mafia culture.
This volume documents the transformation of age-old antisemitic stereotypes into a new form of discrimination, often called "New Antisemitism" or "Antisemitism 2.0."

The volume points to the need for a globally coordinated approach on the political and legal levels, as well as with regard to the modern media, to effectively combat modern antisemitism.
