Since Iran’s 1979 revolution, the West has struggled to
understand what drives the Islamic Republic and how to deal
with it. The challenge now looms even larger in the face of
Iran’s controversial nuclear program, disputed 2009
election, growing human rights violations, and angry
rhetoric. Difficult to engage yet impossible to ignore, Iran
presents the world’s most complex foreign policy dilemma.
The Iran Primer offers a
comprehensive but concise overview of Iran’s politics,
economy, military, foreign policy, and nuclear program. It
chronicles U.S.-Iran relations under six American presidents
and probes five options for dealing with Iran. Organized
thematically, this book provides top-level briefings by 50
top experts on Iran (both Iranian and Western authors) as
well as a handful of rising talent. It provides hard factual
information for ready reference, thoughtful analysis, and
context. The Iran Primer is a practical and
accessible “go-to” resource for practitioners, policymakers,
academics, and students, as well as a fascinating wealth of
information for anyone interested in understanding Iran’s
pivotal role in world politics.
This volume is a
joint product of the United States Institute of Peace and
the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
