This book advances the argument that revivalist Islamic states, in
spite of their possible circumstantial variations, share certain
universal characteristics. They are bound to undergo a prolonged
period of crisis in the process of their self-definition. This
crisis is the outcome of the confrontation between the populist
forces with their populist-utopian interpretation of Islam, and the
conservative alliance of privileged classes upholding Islam's
defence of private property rights as sacred. Such a confrontation
is further accentuated by the antagonism of revivalist movements
toward cultural patterns that do not conform to traditional Islamic
values. In this book, leading authorities on Iran examine the
characteristics of the 1979 revolution and the post-revolutionary
crisis, to provide a unique analysis and appraisal of a nation's
experimentation with Islam as a political catalyst and as a
philosophy for building social order.
