Incorporating history, sociology, and rule of law studies, this
book sheds light on an understudied but fascinating dimension of
modernization in Iran, namely the emergence of a new legal system
between the 1906 Constitutional Revolution and the end of Reza
Shah's rule in 1941. While Iranian constitutionalism can be seen as
part of a global trend of constitutional revolutions at the turn of
the twentieth century, in Iran, an unusual institutional and
historical background shaped a path to legal reform that was in
many ways unique. Among other factors, the scholastic legalism of
the Shi'i ulama and the considerable autonomy they enjoyed in
administering the civil law in the nineteenth century made legal
reform a particularly contested, difficult, and politically charged
aspect of state building.
