The ArtsMay 2021Development, architecture, and the formation of heritage in late twentieth-century Iran
A vital past
by Ali Mozaffari, Nigel Westbrook
This book analyses the use of the past and the production of heritage through architectural design in the developmental context of Iran, a country that has endured radical cultural and political shifts in the past five decades. Offering a trans-disciplinary approach toward complex relationship between architecture, development, and heritage, Mozaffari and Westbrook suggest that transformations in developmental contexts like Iran must be seen in relation to global political and historical exchanges, as well as the specificities of localities. The premise of the book is that development has been a globalizing project that originated in the West. Transposed into other contexts, this project instigates a renewed historical consciousness and imagination of the past. The authors explore the rise of this consciousness in architecture, examining the theoretical context to the debates, international exchanges made in architectural congresses in the 1970s, the use of housing as the vehicle for everyday heritage, and forms of symbolic public architecture that reflect monumental time.

Business, Economics & LawJanuary 2024Capitalism in contemporary Iran
Capital accumulation, state formation and geopolitics
by Kayhan Valadbaygi
By situating Iran within the neoliberal global capitalism and resulting geopolitics, this book traces the patterns of capital accumulation and transformations in class and state formation emanating from it. It shows that Iranian neoliberalisation has brought about two capital fractions, namely the internationally-oriented capital fraction and the military-bonyad complex. It substantiates that the co-existence of these competing class fractions with different accumulation strategies has generated hybrid neoliberalism. The book further demonstrates how this new class formation has reorganised the function and operation of state institutions and transformed state ideology. By documenting the ways in which Iranian neoliberalisation has reshaped the subaltern classes and formed Iran's volatile foreign policy, it also provides a novel account of major events and processes in contemporary Iran, such as the post-2017 wave of uprisings, the nuclear programme and international sanctions.

August 2008Iran – Eine politische Herausforderung
Die prekäre Balance von Vertrauen und Sicherheit
by Volker Perthes
Die Wahrnehmung Irans wird derzeit von den Tiraden Ahmadinejads und dem Nuklearprogramm dominiert. Das Klischee von verblendeten Mullahs verstellt dabei den Blick auf ein Land, dem zentrale Bedeutung für den Nahen und Mittleren Osten zukommt. Dagegen skizziert Volker Perthes die differenzierten strategischen Positionen, die Radikale und Realisten innerhalb der iranischen Eliten einnehmen. Europäischen Politikern empfiehlt er eine Politik, die das wechselseitige Vertrauen fördert und die Sicherheitsinteressen Irans wie seiner Nachbarn ernstnimmt. Damit liefert er einen fundierten Beitrag zu einer der wichtigsten politischen Herausforderungen der Gegenwart.
