Modern Iran since 1921 by Ali Ansari

Modern Iran since 1921 by Ali Ansari

Straddled between the world's two major energy basins, the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea, and possessing a rich reservoir of hydrocarbon resources as well as diverse minerals, Iran has always been economically significant. The Islamic Revolution thrust the country back onto the political centre-stage, and dramatically altered relations between Iran and the West.This book looks at these developments within an historical context. It charts how Iran sought to respond to the challenge of the West through reform and revolution, and to reverse the deline of the previous century with an ambitious programme of development. Combining detailed historical narrative with comprehensive analysis and explanation, Ali Ansari presents a new interpretation of the complex cultural polity that is modern Iran.

"..Ansari has written a straightforward, though skilfully analytical, history of Iran" "Times Literary Supplement", July 03

Ali M Ansari is lecturer in the Political History of the Middle East at the University of Durham and an expert in Iranian affairs. He acts as consultant to business and policy makers and makes regular media appearances.
