This book provides an analysis of the constitutional and institutional structure of public power in the most emblematic instance of a theocratic republic to date: the Islamic Republic of Iran, using the methods of political science. Nearly four decades after the 1979 revolution, a thorough evaluation of Iran's prevalently anti-modernist political discourse and concurrent claims of republican popular sovereignty is here carried out and their theoretical coherence and applied success investigated. Vahid Nick Pay surveys the major republican schools of political philosophy on the one hand, and the principal narratives of the prevailing Shi'a political theology on the other, to provide a pioneering evaluation of the republican credentials of the Islamic Republic of Iran. It will be essential reading for scholars of political science and modern Iranian politics and history."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aIslam and politics$zIran 606 $aRepublicanism$zIran 606 $2Political ideologies 607 $aIran$xPolitics and government 615 0$aIslam and politics 615 0$aRepublicanism 676 $a320.955 676 $a320.955 700 $aNick Pay$b Vahid$01263101 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151758903321 996 $aRepublican Islam$92958994 997 $aUNINA
