Making substantial use of recently declassified archival material, the book explores the role of a significant diplomatic institution ? the resident embassy ? and the impact of revolutions on diplomatic relations. It evaluates the performance of those charged with British diplomacy during the Iranian Revolution, as Britain?s position fell from favour under the post-revolutionary regime. Examining the views of key diplomatic personnel at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and British ministers, this study seeks to explain how British policy towards Iran was shaped and the means of diplomacy employed. In charting the evolution of Britain?s diplomatic relationship with Iran during this period, a number of factors are considered, including historical experience, geography, economics, world politics and domestic concerns. It also highlights the impact of events within the Iranian domestic political scene which were beyond London?s control but which shaped British policy significantly. 410 0$aSecurity, Conflict and Cooperation in the Contemporary World 606 $aMiddle East?History 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aGreat Britain?History 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aHistory of the Middle East$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715060 606 $aModern History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/713000 606 $aPolitical History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080 606 $aForeign Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912040 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020 606 $aEconomic History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000 615 0$aMiddle East?History. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aGreat Britain?History. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 14$aHistory of the Middle East. 615 24$aModern History. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aForeign Policy. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aEconomic History. 676 $a956 700 $aAli$b Luman$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062418 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299794403321 996 $aBritish Diplomacy and the Iranian Revolution, 1978-1981$92525463 997 $aUNINA
