MattairWestport, Conn. Praeger Security International20081 online resource (222 p.)Global security watch series,1938-6168Description based upon print version of record.0-275-99483-X Includes bibliographical references (p. [197]-201) and index.The history of Iran -- Iran under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi -- The foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran -- The world and the Islamic Republic of Iran -- Current crises between Iran and major powers -- Conclusion.This book explains the foreign policy decisions of Iranian leaders, as well as the foreign policy decisions of its neighbors and major world powers. Iran is not treated primarily as a problem to be dealt with by the United States and its friends. There is an effort to understand not only the concerns and policies of the United States and its allies, but also to understand Iranian concerns and policy. Thus, this book is better able than many others to explain the actions, reactions, and interactions of all the relevant actors and to explore the prospects for future war or peace.||Mattair providGlobal security watch series.National securityIranNational securityUnited StatesNational securityMiddle EastIranForeign relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign relationsIranElectronic books.National securityNational securityNational security327.55Mattair Thomas R984352MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454910603321Global security watch--Iran2248321UNINA
