This comprehensive collection addresses the important question of
political parties in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
Written by historians, political scientists, and sociologists of
the region, the book provides a pertinent analytical framework to
understand the often complex and turbulent histories of these
political parties, their role within the region, and their
prospects in the wake of the post-2011 Arab Uprisings. The authors
explore a rich and varied range of case studies including Iran,
Turkey, Palestine, Egypt, Lebanon, and Morocco. This book examines
where political parties and organizations have been crucial to
shaping contemporary historical events and political contestation,
but also highlights their shortcomings and failures to deliver on
the ambitions and hopes they had often evoked amongst their
supporters. Furthermore, it looks at how political parties and
their activities have intersected with important issues and themes
such as gender, human rights, international solidarity, revolution
and social transformation, and sectarian identity. This book will
be of great interest to students and researchers of political
science, particularly within the MENA region. It was originally
published as a special issue of the British Journal of Middle
Eastern Studies.

Iran's presidents have defined the Islamic Republic's attitudes
towards the rest of the world. Never has this been more true than
now. In this book Siavush Randjbar-Daemi presents an in-depth
analysis of the evolution of the Iranian presidency from its
inception in the aftermath of the Islamic Revolution to the present
day. He offers detailed narratives of each president's ascent to
the post and their struggles to acquire authority and maintain
relevance within the political process. The figures under
consideration include the widely-admired Mohammad Khatami, the
internationally-criticised Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the incumbent
president Hassan Rouhani, who steered the decade-long nuclear
confrontation between Iran and the West towards a diplomatic
conclusion. This book sheds light on the extraordinarily complex
workings of the Iranian state, taking into account both the
opportunities and challenges that each president has faced whilst
in power.

The Iranian People’s Fada’i Guerrillas have received little
dedicated scholarly investigation in the shadow of the Iranian
Revolution. This unique collection combines scholarly analysis of
the movement, with first-hand accounts from those within the
movement, in order to shed light on the experiences, organisation
and history of this group during the 1970’s. The volume is partly
composed of eyewitness accounts from veteran Fada’i members on
themes such as everyday life in safehouses, the activities of the
small but active Fada’i representation abroad, the experience of
Fada’i men and women who were subject to long imprisonment in the
1970s or perspectives on military organisation. Alongside these
accounts are scholarly investigations into the various aspects in
the history of the organisation, which cover elements such as its
ideological foundations and political orientation, the importance
of the Iranian labour movement in Fada’i thought and praxis and
the impact of guerrilla activism in the arts.
