Rezensionen

"Iran: Stuck in Transition exemplifies the best of Ehteshami's scholarship. It is meticulously researched and heavily referenced. Any serious study of contemporary Iran must necessarily take into account Ehteshami's arguments and analyses here." - Mehran Kamrava, Georgetown University, Qatar; review in Iranian Studies

"Iran, Stuck in Transition is another fascinating intellectual enterprise by prolific Durham College University professor Anoushiravan Ehteshami. This book is an analysis of various aspects of post-revolutionary Iranian politics. The angle that Ehteshami picked for his analysis makes it unique among the intellectual works in this area. He provides a nuanced portrayal of Iranian politics that casts light on how seemingly conservative and status-quo-oriented "social and political forces in a revolutionary environment" respond to the tides of change from within and without of the polity (p. 2)." - Nima Baghdadi, Florida International University
