Description
A decade has passed since the Islamic revolution in Iran. The Ayatollah Khomeini is dead, and a cease-fire has been reached in the Iran-Iraq war. This book looks at Iran as it stands at a turning point in its history. Contributors first offer contending perspectives on the making of foreign policy. Next they analyze Iran's relations over the past ten years with specific countries in the Middle East and with the superpowers, with special emphasis on Iran's attempts to export revolution and on the consequences of the eight-year war with Iraq. Finally the book explores the current domestic struggle for power and examines the policy realignments that may take shape as a result.
