Homa Katouzian

Opis

Iran was the first country of the Middle East to experience (in 1905-1906) a popular revolution that demanded the rule of law and parliamentary government. Seeking to explain this pattern, Katouzian offers a theoretical framework for the study of Iranian history, state, and society which is then applied to social and political developments from the Constitutional Revolution to the fall of the Qajar state.
