The relationship between religion and the state has entered a new
phase ever since the Iranian Revolution more than three decades
ago. The recent mass uprisings against autocratic rulers in the
Arab world have highlighted the potency of Islamist forces in
post-revolutionary societies in the region, a force arguably
unlocked first by Iran's version of the 'spring' three decades ago.
The economic ramifications of these uprisings are of special
interest at a time when the possibility of the creation of Islamic
states can have implications for their economic policy and
performance again. A study of the Iranian experience in itself can
offer rare insights whether for its own features and
characteristics or for its possible lessons and implications for
recent events in the region. This book is concerned with the
economic aspects and consequences of the Iranian Revolution in
general and its interaction with the international economy in
particular. Many studies have to date dealt with Iran's economic
challenges, policies and performance in the post-revolutionary
period but its interaction with the international economy -
although of growing importance - has not received sufficient
attention. The contributions in this volume by experts in the field
address ways in which in the span of three decades, Iran's economy
has evolved from a strong aspiration to develop an 'independent
economy' to grappling with debilitating international economic
sanctions.
