This volume extends debates on the interaction between universal
human rights and the political experiences of Iranians, through a
conceptual analysis of 'theories of change'. It assesses the
practical processes by which individuals, organizations and
movements can reform or impact the structural, theological and
political challenges faced in the Iranian context. Contributors to
this volume investigate how structures, institutions, and agents in
Iran maneuver for influence and power at the state level, through
the law, in international corridors, at the grassroots, and by
implementing multiple and complex methods. The chapters provide
distinct but interrelated analysis of key drivers of change in
Iran. A number of those operate primarily through top-down
approaches, such as the political reform movement, lawyers pursuing
legislative change, and international human rights monitoring
bodies. Others take a bottom-up approach, including local movements
and campaigns such as the women's movement, the labor movement, the
student movement, and ethnic minority groups. By prompting drivers
of change to think about causation, influence, sequencing,
prioritization, roles and relationships, a theory of change
ultimately makes the work more effective. Through rigorous analysis
of these issues for drivers of change in the Islamic State, this
volume is an important contribution to human rights in Iran. In an
era of escalating tensions in the Middle East, it amplifies voices
of reform and freedom, filling a crucial gap in our understanding
of this region.
