In this book, Penelope Kinch analyses the extent to which political identity has contributed to challenges in the relationship and the role of myths in foreign policy. Kinch first examines the construction of political identity in each country, and thereby traces the imagined norms which have their impact on international behaviour. Looking at the misperceptions that have precluded closer communication between the two states, Kinch examines both historical issues, such as the 1979 US embassy hostage crisis as well as more contemporary crises, most notably over Iran's nuclear power programme."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aNational characteristics 606 $2International relations 607 $aIran$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zIran 615 0$aNational characteristics. 676 $a327.55073 676 $a327.73055 700 $aKinch$b Penelope$01263126 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151700703321 996 $aThe US-Iran relationship$92960089 997 $aUNINA
