Boulder, CO.: Westview Press, Date: 1990. Scholarly text explores the failure of liberal nationalism in Iran, and examines the movement's three major opportunities and subsequent failures to gain political power in Iran- the latest during the 1977-1979 revolution. The author addresses the key question of whether the failure of liberal nationalism can be blamed o structural constraints or is the result of the movement's own internal dynamics, that a complex interplay between these elements, against the backdrop of global power politics, defeated the movement in Iran. Includes an assessment of future prospects for a secular-liberal-nationalist movement in post-revolutionary Iran. 214 pp. Publisher's stamp on half-title page.. First Edition. Soft Cover.
