Great power rivalry in nineteenth and early twentieth century Iran and the Qajar dynasty's dependence upon British and Russian support have long attracted the attention of western scholars. Recent scholarship also has begun tocus on internal power shifts in response to these conditions. An important element in these processes, but one which has been relatively unstudied, is political change within the great tribal confederations, especially the Ba kh tiyâri. A number of elements contributed to the political transformation of the Ba kh tiyâri. To begin with, the heightening of political activity in the tribe coincided with a decline of central power and authority and the growth of Anglo-Russian rivalry in Iran. Also significant was the concentration of powerand wealth within one princely family of the Ba kh tiyâri. In addition a number of economic and strategic factors played a role in creating a new alignment of power among the Ba kh tiyâri and Tehran and Great Britain. Chief among these elements were the increasing strategic and economic importance of the Ba kh tiyâri winter pasture area in Kh uzistan following the discovery of the oil fields there and the new national political role played by the Ba kh tiyâri following the Persian Revolution
