Entessar & Afrasiabi's Iran Nuclear Negotiations (Rowman &
Littlefied, October 2015) offered a thorough analysis of the
negotiation process between Iran and the 5+1 great powers about its
nuclear program. This book essentially builds upon it, focusing
this time on the final nuclear agreement, the ensuing debates
around it, and its global and regional ramifications especially in
the Middle East. The first section analyzes the agreement through
the prism of international relations theories, using a
constructivist-critical theory approach. This is followed by an
overview of the intense debates in Iran, the West, and other parts
of the world, on the nuclear agreement and its various pros and
cons, not to mention the connected, yet separate Iran-IAEA
agreement. The second section covers Iran's foreign policy and its
various priorities, looking in particular at the impact of the
nuclear deal on the country's external relations and orientations,
contextualized in terms of pre-existing issues and concerns and the
profound influence of the nuclear agreement on the perceptions of
Iranian power in the region and beyond. Iran's relations with its
Arab, Turkish, Russian, and other neighbors are discussed, focusing
on both the direct and indirect impact of the nuclear agreement on
these relations, especially the paradoxical implications of the
nuclear deal with respect to the non-nuclear crises in the Middle
East, such as the Syria-Iraq crisis, and the re-alignments that
have put Iran at the crossroads of East and West. Other issues
covered include energy security, regional economic cooperation, the
endemic sectarianism highlighted by Iran-Saudi competition, and the
deadlock on the Middle East peace process. The third section then
examines the issue of a Middle East nuclear weapons-free zone and
the likely consequences of the Iran nuclear deal on this prospect,
which, in turn, raises the issue of regional proliferation and
counterproliferation. The last section explores some possible
various scenarios and the challenges of implementation as a
relatively long-term agreement, providing specific policy
recommendations for the regional actors and the external powers
that are stakeholders in the volatile Middle East.
