Iranian History and Politics Summary

Iranian History and Politics: The Dialectic of State and Society by Homa Katouzian (University of Oxford, UK)

Solves many of the puzzles that both lay and professional observers have long felt about the history and politics of Iran - past, recent and present

Conveniently divided into two parts: Part One is theoretical, but the theory is consistently supported with concrete factual evidence from Iranian history and society. Part Two concentrates on specific case studies based on the application of the concepts, theories and methods developed in Part One

Offers totally original accounts and interpretations of various occurrences in Iranian history

Contributes to the widely respected RoutledgeCurzon/BIPS Persian Studies Series

Will appeal to those studying Iranian Studies, Middle East Studies, Comparative Politics, Political Theory and Sociology of History and Islamic Studies
