This book addresses the links between war, state and sovereignty
using an interdisciplinary approach. The authors and editors
investigate the transformation of the state through the practices
of security governance - an effective way to question the evolution
of authority and legitimacy of state violence, and the organisation
of human societies. This work contributes to the understanding of
the transformation of state through the prism of security
challenges and provides the means to identify the evolution of
their regalian contours, the legal and technical forms of
regulating violence, and the legitimisation of public power. This
volume shows that the contribution of the social sciences is
decisive for understanding the changes of the role and insertion of
armed forces in their political, social and professional
environment.
From encounters with Western powers in the nineteenth century
through to a Constitutional Revolution at the beginning of the
twentieth century, and from the overthrow of the democratically
elected Prime Minister Mosaddeq in the 1950s to the current Islamic
Republic, Iran's history has rarely been far from tumultuous and
dramatic. And the ways in which Iranian society has participated in
and reacted to these events have been equally fascinating and
revolutionary. Here for the first time in English, Yann Richard
offers his take on the social and political history of Iran since
1800. Richard's account traces the common threads of national
ideology and violent conflict that have characterised a number of
episodes in Iranian history. By also concerning himself with the
reactions and feelings of Iranian society, and by referring
frequently to Persian sources and commentaries, Richard gives us a
unique insight into the challenges encountered by Iranians in
modern times.
