This is the book that exposes the workings of Iranian politics
today. The authors penetrate the labyrinth of political
relationships and family networks that is the Iranian ruling class,
and reveal the forces which brought hard-line President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad to power. They argue that the power base behind
Ahmadinejad represents a kind of Iranian version of American
neoconservativism. The Iranian neocons, like their Washington
counterparts, have come in from the cold. Politicians and clerics
exiled from influence under the reformist President Khatami have
seized their chance to get back in to power, and to push an
uncompromising foreign policy agenda.Anoushiravan Ehteshami and
Mahjoob Zweiri show how Ahmadinejad's surprise victory in the 2005
elections was just one facet of this group's strategy for regaining
influence. In an analysis which has major implications for Western
policymakers, the authors examine the group's agenda on issues like
Iraq, Israel and nuclear enrichment, and assess how likely it is
that they will be able to implement it. "Iran and the Rise of its
Neoconservatives" is the essential guide to the politics of this
turbulent nation, whose importance to world security has never been
more keenly felt.
