Summary/Abstract |
Over the past eight years Iran’s conservative leadership has effectively tightened its hold on power, thwarting attempts at political reform. It has centralised decision-making, strengthened the Revolutionary Guard, invested in new strategic weapons, built ties of patronage and effectively used economic levers to assert control. The conservatives’ consolidation of power now constitutes the framework of Iran’s power politics, which will in turn determine the nature and scope of internal political developments after the 2005 presidential elections, the country’s response to outside pressures regarding the nuclear issue, and the kind of government towards which the Islamic Republic is likely to evolve.

Summary/Abstract |
Iran today is on the verge of its most acute crisis since the 1979 revolution, as the political impasse of the past few years is turning to active confrontation between a restive populace and an inflexible theocracy. In contrast to the triumph of reformist candidates in the 2000 elections, which fostered hopes of a democratic breakthrough, the political climate leading up to the February elections reflected the success of the conservative backlash. However, the success of the conservatives' strategy contains the seeds of their own destruction. By obstructing a peaceful reform movement, the hardliners have ensured that the popular clamour for change will escape the confines of conventional politics and assert itself through defiance and protest.
