Making Space for the Gulf
The Persian Gulf has long been a contested space—an object of imperial ambitions, national antagonisms, and migratory dreams. The roots of these contestations lie in the different ways the Gulf has been defined as a region, both by those who live there and those beyond its shore. Making Space for the Gulf reveals how capitalism, empire-building, geopolitics, and urbanism have each shaped understandings of the region over the last two centuries. H…
Global 1979
The Iranian revolution of 1979 not only had an impact on regional and international affairs, but was made possible by the world and time in which it unfolded. This multi-disciplinary volume presents this revolution within its transnational and global contexts. Moving deftly from the personal to the global and from the provincial to the national, it draws attention to the multiplicity of spaces of the revolution such as streets, schools, prisons, …
Global 1979
The Forever Frontier of Urbanism
In recent years, Persian Gulf cities have become symbols of the most spectacular forms of the 'globalization of urbanization'. Current scholarship has sought to situate these cities in transnational processes and linkages with conceptualizations of 'the global city' and the mechanisms of 'worlding'. This article builds on but moves beyond this line of analysis by turning to the histories of this region and its built environment to explore the lon…
From Port Cities to Cities with Ports
The Persian Gulf has always been transnational or “glocal”, but the processes and mechanisms of transnationalization have changed in a way that has resulted in a morphological separation of ports from cities; a less integrated regional network of ports; and cities where homogeneity and unity, in terms of identity, class, and citizenship-status, are privileged and differences are rendered as threats that must be neutralized and controlled. This ch…
When ties don't bind
This paper examines how participation in smuggling restructures existing commercial regulatory systems and subjectivities. It does so through an analysis of the illicit commercial practices that mushroomed in postrevolutionary Iran and the ambivalent participation of established merchants (bazaaris) in the import and export of commodities through these circuits during the 1979–2005 era. Following two independent research projects on the Tehran an…
Politics and Society in the Contemporary Middle East
This cutting-edge, and at the same time lively and accessible, examination of the domestic politics of the Middle East has been carefully designed to meet the needs of the university classroom. Eight thematic chapters introduce the subject and explore the region-wide dynamics of governments and oppositions, international politics, political economy, civil society, religion and politics, identity politics, and gender and family issues. These theme…
Beyond 1979 and 2011
In the midst of several research trips to Iran in the 1990s, I spent one year living and conducting exploratory research in Cairo. In Tehran, revolution seemed unfinished if not perpetual, yet in Egypt it was unimaginable. In spite of the entrenched support for the Leader and the political status quo, at this time Iran's reformist movement was robust. The policies of the Islamic Republic and consequences of the eight-year war with Iraq unleashed …

Geopolitics and the Genealogy of Free Trade Zones in the Persian Gulf
(Product of workshop No. 6 at the 9th MRM 2008)
Regime Loyalty and Bāzārī Representation Under the Islamic Republic of Iran
The prevailing perception within the academy, policy circles, and the media inside and outside Iran has been that the members of bazaars are a unified social class engaged in a symbiotic relationship with the political elite of the Islamic republic and the conservative faction in particular. This approach is largely built on the perspective that there is a historic predilection for bāzārī s and clerics to cooperate (“mosque–bazaar alliance”), and…
Bazaar and State in Iran
The Tehran Bazaar has always been central to the Iranian economy and indeed, to the Iranian urban experience. Arang Keshavarzian's fascinating book compares the economics and politics of the marketplace under the Pahlavis, who sought to undermine it in the drive for modernisation and under the subsequent revolutionary regime, which came to power with a mandate to preserve the bazaar as an 'Islamic' institution. The outcomes of their respective po…

State Building and Religious Resources
In the past several decades, religion has made a surprising and dramatic resurgence in political life. The Iranian Revolution of 1979 reminded scholars of the mobilizing power of religious fundamentalism. In Latin America, evangelical protestantism has been altering the social arena and influencing presidential elections in countries such as Columbia, Guatemala, and Peru. Likewise, religious movements are transforming the political landscape in n…
