Since the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979,
the Iranian political system has been subject to diminishing
legitimacy. In recent years, various waves of protest have spread
across the country and the question of the resilience of the
revolutionary state becomes more pressing by the day. Drawing from
extensive fieldwork and rare primary sources, Mehran Kamrava
provides here a comprehensive and accessible analysis of the
Iranian state and the various formal and informal institutions
through which it operates. The book offers an in-depth analysis of
the Iranian state, from the Constitution to the powers and offices
of the Supreme Leader, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to the
several intelligence agencies. Paying careful attention to the
nuances of Iranian politics, Kamrava also highlights how factional
politics and rentierism have served to enhance state resilience.
Presenting a range of original insights, this book is invaluable to
understanding the inner workings of the contemporary Iranian state.
