For Iran, the years since Ayatollah Khomeini's death have been
dominated by the need for political consolidataion and economic
reconstruction. The book assesses the critical dilemmas of the
regime both prior to and since the demise of its first spiritual
leader. The vital issues of political succession and constitutional
reform are addressed, contributing to an analysis of the structures
and politics of power. How these have reflected upon economic
policy is considered with close attention being given to the reform
policies of Rafsanjani. Foreign policy and security issues are
discussed in both regional and global terms and include a study of
Iranian defence strategy and its controversial rearmament drive.
The final chapter examines the direction and context of all of
these major policy areas. It provides an analysis of whether the
Islamic Republic truly represents a revolutionary alternative for
the Third World or whether in fact it has developed in time to fall
within a similar mould to other notable revolutions, casting by the
wayside any uniquely Islamic agenda and alternatives.
