Critically deploying the idea of uneven and combined development
this book provides a novel non-Eurocentric account of Iran's
experience of modernity and revolution. Recasting Iranian Modernity
presents the argument that Eurocentrism can be decisively overcome
through a social theory that has international relations at its
ontological core. This will enable a conception of history in which
there is an intrinsic international dimension to social change that
prevents historical repetition. This hitherto under-theorized
international dimension is, the book argues, manifest in combined
patterns of development, which incorporate both foreign and native
forms. It is the tension-prone and unstable nature of these hybrid
developmental patterns that mark Iranian modernity, and fuelled the
socio-political dynamics of the 1979 revolution and the rise of
political Islam. Challenging solely comparative approaches to the
Iranian Revolution that explain it away as either a deviation from,
or a reaction to, modernity on the grounds of its religious form,
this book will be valuable to those interested in an alternative
theoretical approach to the Iranian Revolution, modern Iran and
political Islam, working in the fields of International Relations,
Middle East and Islamic Studies, History, Political Science,
Political Sociology, Postcolonialism, and Comparative Politics.
