Rethinking Gender and Humour in Nineteenth-Century Iran
This article examines two nineteenth-century Persian texts with significant implications for debates about gender relationships in Iran. Informed by a methodology associated with Quentin Skinner, the article questions some far-reaching conclusions made about these texts in previous studies, demonstrating the value of making methodologically transparent approaches to the study of historical texts. Versions of this methodology have been employed to…
Alexander in the City of the Excellent
Persian, one of the most potent languages when it comes to imagery and fiction, offers a utopian tradition in which Alexander of Macedonia is presented as the hero of the story. Identifying Alexander with a Quranic figure and associating him with an Islamic sage, this tradition circumvented the negative conception associated with Alexander as a destroyer of the Persian Empire. This article reviews various accounts of Alexander's discovery of a ut…
An Islamic Language of Toleration
Persian Sufi and poet Muhammad Jalal al-Din Balkhi, 1207—73 (also known as Rumi) presents one of the most extensive and vigorous Islamic theories of toleration.1 This article examines Rumi’s theory by placing it in its historical context, and examining its various arguments. It suggests that toleration, not only as a policy but also as a language, preceded liberalism. It also provides evidence that Rumi’s defense is by far more inclusive than mos…
The Conceptual Obstacles to Political Reform in Iran
This paper explores some of the basic ideological tenets of former Iranian President Muhammad Khatami, showing how they prevented him from realizing his reform agenda. Ideological inconsistencies and ambiguities exposed Khatami and his allies to criticism from both conservatives and radical reformers. Consequently, many Iranians who once voted for Khatami and his allies boycotted the presidential elections of 2005, paving the way for a conservati…

Mirza Ya'qub Khan's Call for Representative Government, Toleration and Islamic Reform in Nineteenth-Century Iran
This article examines Tarh-e Arizeh-i Ast keh beh Khakpayeh Mobarak Mahramaneh Bayad Arz Shavad (after 1874), an essay by Mirza Ya'qub Khan. This essay is an important document for the history of political ideas in nineteenth-century Iran for several reasons. First, it includes a social, economic and political critique of Naser al-Din Shah's later years. Second, it is one of the earliest Persian texts in which a representative regime is advocated…
European Thought in Nineteenth-Century Iran
European ideas have played a crucial part in the shaping of the modern Iranian intellectual climate, since Iranian intellectuals have been, one way or another, engaged with these ideas for at least a hundred and fifty years. This engagement has also influenced Iranian society in various ways, as the conceptual foundations of the two Iranian revolutions of the twentieth century present the best evidence. Considering this impact, the study of the r…
Collective Action in the Middle East? A Study of Free-Ride in Defense Spending
This article investigates the existence of the collective action problem among the Arab countries neighboring Israel. The central issue is the time-series pattern of their military expenditures. The collective action framework (Olson, 1971) provides a theoretical guidance for hypothesis testing. The empirical analysis using the cointegration approach has yielded highly consistent evidence that, up to the late 1970s, Egypt was involved in a fierce…
