Description
Fred Halliday's study of twentieth-century Iran is a deeply researched and thought-provoking analysis of the country's uneven capitalist development, state-building and class structure, security and military apparatus, dissent and opposition movements, and foreign relations. Originally completed mere months before the Iranian Revolution of 1979, this work masterfully surveys the Pahlavi era and its vulnerabilities. Halliday challenges simplistic interpretations of the Pahlavi regime as an enlightened monarchy or a dependent client state, instead arguing that understanding the dialectic of dictatorship, development and imperial geopolitics is crucial to making sense of this period. This new edition includes six of Halliday's essays on the Islamic Republic, demonstrating how his thinking on Iran and the revolution evolved over time. A sophisticated and compelling analysis of Iranian history, this book remains a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the Pahlavi era and its legacy.
