Nostalgia in Late Pahlavi Iran
Pahlavi Iran and the Politics of Occidentalism
This study analyses the politics of Occidentalism in the late-Pahlavi period, focusing on the clash between the pro-Western Shah and the anti-Western Islamic forces which eventually led to the Islamic Revolution. Zhand Shakibi presents a new interpretation of the political and social dynamics of the last decade of the Shah’s rule by moving away from the binary view of the westernizing Shah and the Islamist, anti-West Ayatollah. Instead, he draws …
The Rastakhiz Party and Pahlavism
The historiography of Pahlavi Iran has been unduly influenced, in the words of Cyrus Schayegh, by ‘a methodological statist’ paradigm based on the assumption that the state, dominating society, strove to implement radical Westernization while society’s role was passive and reactive—and that society did not exercise substantial influence on Pahlavi policy-making, in particular during the period covered here, 1967–1979. Consequently, a large gap be…
Pahlavīsm
The attempts by Muhammad Reza Shah Pahlavī to legitimize his rule (1941–1979) in the face of competing modern ideologies have been the subject of academic attention, especially after the Islamic Revolution of 1979. This article contributes to this topic through use of a previously unexamined primary source, a four-volume set entitled Pahlavīsm, published in the run-up to the Shah's coronation in 1967 that reflected his recognition that the Pahlav…
Abbas Milani, The Shah
Khatami and Gorbachev
Why is it important to compare the experiences, successes and difficulties of Mohammad Khatami and Mikhail Gorbachev, two leaders operating in very different political environments and cultures? Both men were products of two of the 20th century's most momentous revolutions and both sought to reform from within the contradictions and problems which these revolutions produced. Zhand Shakibi provides the first comparative analysis of Khatami and Gor…
Revolutions and the Collapse of Monarchy
What causes revolution? What brought about the end of the last major monarchies of the modern period? Were Louis XVI, Nicholas II, and Mohammad Reza Pahlavi the unwitting victims of historical circumstance, or did their own actions help to bring about the revolutions that overthrew them? This powerful and original book is the first comparative study of the revolutions in Bourbon France, Romanov Russia and Pahlavi Iran. Zhand Shakibi analyses full…
