In this timely, informative edited volume, major Iranian scholars
and civic actors address some of the most pressing questions about
Iranian civil society and the process of democratization in Iran.
They describe the role of Iranian civil society in the process of
transition to democracy in Iran and offer insight about the
enduring legacy of previous social and political
movements--starting with the Constitutional Revolution of 1906-- in
the struggle for democracy in Iran. Each contributor looks at
different aspects of Iranian civil society to address the complex
nature of the political order in Iran and the possibilities for
secularization and democratization of the Iranian government.
Various contributors analyze the impact of religion on prevailing
democratic thought, discussing reformist religious movements and
thinkers and the demands of religious minorities. Others provide
insight into the democratic implications of recent Iranian women's
rights movements, call for secularism within government, and the
pressure placed on the existing theocracy by the working class.The
contributors address these and related issues in all their richness
and complexity and offer a set of discussions that is both
accessible and illuminating for the reader.
