The thematic focus of this book is the tragic yet inevitable effects of subaltern nationalism. The book covers the systemic challenges that all modern Iranian regimes have faced in establishing a sovereign, developed, democratic, and constitutional nation-state. The book would certainly benefit both scholars and students of international relations, comparative politics, developmental studies, Iranian studies, and those interested in a deeper understanding of the ongoing Middle Eastern security and foreign policy issues.
