Political Participation in Iran from Khatami to the Green Movement by Paola Rivetti
English | PDF | 2020 | 218 Pages | ISBN : 3030322009 | 2.41 MB
This book examines the unintended consequences of top-down reforms in Iran, analysing how the Iranian reformist governments (1997–2005) sought to utilise gradual reforms to control independent activism, and how citizens responded to such a disciplinary action. While the governments successfully ‘set the field’ of permitted political participation, part of the civil society that took shape was unexpectedly independent.
