This book examines economic inequality and social disparity in
Iran, together with their drivers, over the past four decades.
During this period, income distribution and economic welfare were
affected by the 1979 Revolution, the eight-year war with Iraq,
post-war privatization and economic liberalization initiatives
carried out under the Rafsanjani and Khatami administrations, the
ascendance of a populist economic platform under the Ahmadinejad
administration, and the lifting of energy and financial sanctions
under the Rouhani administration. Featuring a mix of scholars,
including Iranian academics who experienced these changes and are
publishing in English for the first time, this collection offers
quantitative and descriptive studies of the country's
post-revolutionary economic development and disparities. In most
chapters, a hypothesis is developed from existing theories or
observations, which is then tested using available data. This
unique combination of new voices, academic as well as personal
experiences, and scientific methods will be a valuable addition to
the library of the scholars of modern Iran's economy and society.
This volume explores Iran's industrial and trade policy options for
achieving sustainable, export-oriented, and pro-employment growth.
The first part of the book discusses Iran's economic and industrial
development performance, as well as strategies for enhancing
capabilities, fostering productive transformation, and developing
employment that can result in faster and more inclusive economic
growth. It also presents a case study on a leading manufacturing
subsector-the automotive industry. The book then offers a set of
analyses concerning the country's trade sector, including exchange
rate policies, ways to connect to global markets, and accession to
the World Trade Organization. In turn, the closing chapters
investigate various aspects of Iran's labor market and offer policy
recommendations on the creation of productive jobs. Readers will
learn about effective industrial, trade, and employment policies
that can complement macroeconomic measures adopted by the
government. As such, the book will appeal not only to scholars and
policy-makers, but also to international investors seeking to
understand various core aspects of Iran's industrial and employment
structures and trade regime.
This book provides in-depth analyses of the main social policy
components and institutions in Iran. Its focus is on the period
since 1979, although many of the developments are inevitably traced
back to their pre-revolutionary origins. The first part of the book
investigates socioeconomic trends and institutional
developments-including the significant role played by
post-revolutionary para-governmental organizations in the delivery
of social programs. The remaining chapters analyze the achievements
and challenges of health, education, social insurance, housing, and
employment policies as well as the macroeconomics of poverty.

This volume presents the latest perspectives and practices on
quality services and experiences in hospitality and tourism. It
offers conceptual discourse, empirical evidence, application of
existing and emerging theories, and considers the implications of
practical findings to extend beyond the academic realm of service
quality, and examine the quality issues of both services provided
and experiences encountered across a wide spectrum of tourism
sectors. As such, it provides new intelligence and contributes to
the study of new consumers, as well as organizations and
destinations that serve and host them. The book continues the
series' tradition of connecting scholarly works and real-world
cases, with a unique mix of geographic representations. The
majority of its chapters are drawn from the proceedings of the 2016
conference on Service Quality in Hospitality and Tourism:
Experiencing Persian Heritage held in Isfahan, Iran. The regional
focus of the conference is augmented in this book with
contributions from elsewhere, resulting in a more diverse and
global context for the treatment of quality services and
experiences in hospitality and tourism. The volume will appeal to
academic scholars and industry professionals interested in
exploring new frontiers of knowledge on the subject. Organized in
three parts with distinctive themes, the chapters are appropriate
course readings, either collectively or selectively, for
undergraduate and graduate students in educational programs
focusing on global curricula.
