Khatami's Iran: the Islamic republic and the turbulent path of reform
- London I. B. Tauris Publishers 2010
- x, 210 p.
Khatamizs political platform was predicated on consolidating the rule of law, encouraging intellectual discourse and advancing socio-political liberties. At the same time, Khatami aimed to set the country on the path to greater tolerance, integration into the world economy and rapprochement with the international community. Tazminizs account of the man who became Iranzs charismatic and ambitious President-Reformer is authoritative and provocative, portraying Khatami as a leader who combined exceptional resilience with periods of hesitancy and indecision in the face of dilemmas associated with his role as the first Iranian figure to implement change in the Islamic Republic of Iran. She describes how, despite the institutional constraints associated with Iranzs power structure and powerful conservative opposition, the reform movement successfully managed to set in motion a pluralistic momentum in Iran.
