Synopsis

The authors trace the revolution of social science’s dealings with Iran up to the present as a means of demonstrating not only what was wrong but also what was right about modernization theory. They also examine events in Iran in the light of theories of revolution, theories of regime types, and theories of current international ideological and power structures.
