Understanding the foreign policy agenda and behavior of the Islamic
Republic of Iran is a critical challenge for the world. But where
do the principal Iranian regime actors come from in terms of
political background, experiences and interests? Which types of
ambitions or policy conflicts have dominated and shaped foreign
policy debates since 1979? This book explains the internal policy
process in Tehran by following two regime personalities, Ali
Khamenei, the Supreme Leader, and Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, who
before his death in January 2017 held some of the most powerful
political positions in Iran. No two men have been more influential
in dictating the regime's decision-making processes since 1979. Yet
little is known about how their competing worldviews and interests,
their key moments of dispute - both personal or policy-based - or
their personal ambitions have informed the trajectory of Iranian
politics. The book analyzes Khamenei and Rafsanjani's own words and
writings - and accounts of them given by others - to reveal how the
domestic policy contest has shaped Tehran's actions on the regional
and international stage. Comprising primary and secondary Iranian
sources - including untapped memoirs, newspaper reports, and
Iranian electronic media and personal interviews - the book
highlights the principal rivalries over the lifespan of the Islamic
Republic and offers new insights into the present and future of
Iranian foreign policy.
