Iranian Foreign Policy Since 2001

This book examines Iranian foreign policy, with a focus on the years since 2001. The first part looks at the underpinnings and key foundations of the Islamic Republics external behaviour: the role of power in driving foreign policy, the tension between ideology and pragmatism, the countrys strategic culture and the importance of the nuclear program. The second part then examines Irans relations with key countries and regions, with a focus on its more immediate environment and on its relations with great powers.

Examining Iranian foreign policy, with a focus on the years since 2001, this book analyses the defining feature of Irans international and regional posture, its strategic loneliness, and the implications of this for the Islamic Republics foreign policy.

Iranian Foreign Policy since 2001

offers an in-depth analysis of the key drivers behind Irans foreign policy; power, strategic culture, and ideology. In addition, the authors examine Irans relations with key countries and regions, including its often tenuous relations with China, Russia and America, as well as its bilateral relations with non-state actors such as Hezbollah. The common thread running throughout the volume is that Iran is alone in the world: regardless of its political manoeuvrings, the Islamic Republics regional and international posture is largely one of strategic loneliness.

Assimilating contributions from the US, Canada, Europe and Iran, this book provides an international perspective, both at the theoretical and practical levels and is essential reading for those with an interest in Middle Eastern Politics, International Relations and Political Science more broadly.
