A Historical-Iranian View of the Catastroph
text
article
2010
per
The loss of war with Russia during the Qajar period caused Iranians to feel inferior to foreigners. Then Iranian elites assumed that in order to fill the gap between Iran and the foreign countries, Iran has to go through modernization. Modernization of Iran took several years and went through various phases each brought with it new concepts and theories. This article argues that though these concepts and theories were used in Iran but never really applied. The author believes that the Iranian historical existence is an aggregate of concepts and theories which resulted in a catastroph.

The Conceptual Constructs of Instability in Iranian-British Relations
text
article
2010
per
Ever since the Iranian revolution of 1979 relations between Iran and Britain have remained volatile and have suffered from tension, instability and upheavals. Neither reconciliation, nor normalization, has been achieved between the two sides. While Iran's relations with the United States were predictably hostile, Tehran's ties with London could have been expected, at least by the end of the first tempests of the revolution, to be better and more stable. Why did Iran's relations with Britain deteriorate from the beginning, as distinct from other West European countries? What were the origins of Iran's resentment towards Britain? Which forces were behind the hostility between them? What are the prospects for future relations between these two countries? These are but a few questions, the answers for which can be explored by this paper.

text
article
2010
per
This article looks at the concept of “security” and factors lead to it as well as various dimension of it according to Rozatulanvar of Mohaqeq Sabzavari. Since he has been living during the Safavids, this article may demonstrate the political and social situation of that period in Iran as well as how government and politics have been viewed at that time. This article argues that Sabzavari has never been supporting dictatorship and has believed that dictatorship contradicts security. Based on what this article documents, Sabzavari acted according to the theory of Saltanat-e Mashrooah (legitimate monarchy) and accommodative approach so he has cooperated with the Safavids. Sabzavari has been viewing security as a multidimensional phenomenon which can be achieved through various means.
