Global IranCamron Michael Amin, University of Michigan-Dearborn, USA

Series: Global Realities

In this book, Camron Amin provides a rich yet conciseportrait of Iranian society through the lens ofglobalization. How is economic and cultural globalizationaffecting Iranians? How are the nation’s two chief naturalresources, militant Islam and oil, tied into largersupraregional economic and political currents? To answerthis, Amin, a historian, traces the broad outlines ofIranian history, focusing in particular on Shi’ism andnationalism, the dominant faith there. Shi’ism sets itapart from surrounding Sunni regimes, and itsnationalism has certainly been a potent global force fordecades. He also contrasts Iran’s intense nationalism withits substantial ethnic diversity.

Iran under AhmadinejadThe Politics of Confrontation

Ali M. Ansari, University of St Andrews, UK

Series: Adelphi Papers

The election of MahmoudAhmadinejad to the presidencyof the Islamic Republic of Iran inthe summer of 2005 thrust Iraninto the international limelight ina way that few would havepredicted. Robust,confrontational and given tobombastic rhetoric, Ahmadinejadhas drawn condemnation fromthe West and praise from theMiddle Eastern street in almostequal measure.

This Paper looks at the details of his political rise andassesses his presidency to date within the context of thedynamics of Iranian politics. Examining the key themes ofhis presidency, it assesses the effectiveness of his policiesand analyzes his populist approach, in particular his useof nationalism and the cult of the Twelfth Imam. Theauthor argues that Ahmadinejad, far from retrenchingthe conservative values of the early revolution, is verymuch a product of the social and political changes whichhave occurred since the end of the Iran–Iraq War; that hispopulism in both politics and economics, along with themaintenance of a confrontational posture abroad,represents an ad hoc, and somewhat incoherent, attemptto disguise the growing contradictions which afflict theIslamic Republic, and the conservative vision of anunaccountable Islamic autocracy in the face of growingdissatisfaction, especially among key sections of the élite.

Selected Contents: Introduction Part 1: The Backgroundto Ahmadinejad’s Rise 1. The Rafsanjani and KhatamiPresidencies 2. The Triumph of the Authoritarians Part 2: The ‘Third Islamic Revolution’ 3. The AhmadinejadPresidency: Image and Foreign Policy 4. The AhmadinejadPresidency: Domestic Policy. Conclusion

Bassam Tibi, University of Goettingen, Germany

’Bassam Tibi is a twenty-firstcentury Martin Luther ofIslam. His plea for a return tothe open, tolerant, creativeIslam that served as a beaconof progress for humankind amillennium ago offers theonly real alternative to ajihadism that not onlythreatens world peace butalso reinforces the root causeof jihadism – humiliation, asthe Islamic world falls further

behind the West, East Asia, and now India.’ – Lawrence E. Harrison, Director, Cultural ChangeInstitute, The Fletcher School Tufts University, USA.

Bassam Tibi provides a broad ranging assessment ofpolitical Islam in the world, in all its variousmanifestations. In particular he focuses on Europe whichis also home to a significant Islamic minority. Whilstrejecting the Clash of Civilizations theory the authorclearly demonstrates the growing conflict andincompatibility between Islamist movements andEuropean democracy. A practicing Muslim himself,Bassam Tibi, makes clear the vital importance ofdeveloping a Euro Islam that will peacefullyaccommodate religious beliefs within an inclusivedemocratic European culture.
