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 amassed 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.
