Evolving Iran presents an overview of how the politics and policy
decisions in the Islamic Republic of Iran have developed since the
1979 revolution and how they are likely to evolve in the near
future. Despite the fact that the revolution ushered in a
theocracy, its political system has largely tended to prioritize
self-interest and pragmatism over theology and religious values,
while continuing to reinvent itself in the face of internal and
international threats. The author also examines the prospects for
democratization in Iran. Since the early years of the twentieth
century, Iranians have attempted to make their political system
more democratic, yet various attempts to produce a system where
citizens have a meaningful voice in political decisions have
failed. This book argues that greater democratization is unlikely
to occur in the short term, especially in light of increased
threats from the international community. This accessible overview
of Iran's political system covers a broad array of subjects,
including foreign policy, human rights, women's struggle for
equality, the development and evolution of elections, and the
institutions of the political system including the Revolutionary
Guards and Assembly of Experts. It will appeal to undergraduates
and the general public who seek to understand a country and regime
that has mystified Westerners for decades.
