The United States and Europe need to alter their previous strategies if they want to influence Iran. The Obama administration should focus on using political and diplomatic means to address the regime in Tehran. The European Union should attach concrete and verifiable conditions to its stipulations.

Summary/Abstract |
The foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran is widely misunderstood. On the one hand many experts regard the Iranian foreign policy as being essentially ideology driven while on the other hand a significant body of opinion believes that ideology is a convenient smokescreen for Iran's pursuit of its national interests. This paper examines the role of ideological, political and institutional actors in the context of the Islamic Republic's quest for consensus and cohesion. The purpose is to delve into the relationship between these factors with a view to understanding how this complex interaction impacts on foreign policy formulation and implementation. It is proposed that any improvement to the current system requires a more transparent strategic direction.

Summary/Abstract |
How, if at all, do the demands of the Iranian people factor into Tehran's foreign policy? Evidence suggests that popular discontent in Iran is deep seated and widespread, based on a desire for political, economic, and social reform rather than a change in foreign policy. Will they start agitating for foreign policy input

Summary/Abstract |
Iran is becoming a superpower. Funding proxy armies, controlling vital energy hubs and winning the heart of the Arab street, Tehran has created a sphere of influence on an imperial scale. If we don't do something-and soon-Iran, not China or Russia, will be the West's global nemesis.

Summary/Abstract |
Why do states stay revolutionary for so long? The question of why and how some political players of a country successfully pursue a revisionist strife against the status quo has neither theoretically nor empirically received systematic attention. I use a current policy issue, the crisis regarding Iran, as a single-case study to examine the issue. This article argues that answers are found in the interconnected realms of domestic politics and revolutionary ideas. In Iranian politics specifically, it is both the ideological conservative faction's occupation of key constitutional positions and pursuit of revolutionary ideas, which have caused the recurring and large degree of revolutionary zeal. In turn, this has had a significant effect on the extent of the Islamic Republic's socialization to regional and international politics

Summary/Abstract |
Iran is undergoing a gradual regime change today, but not toward democratization. Strengthened by the surprising stability of its political economy, a new generation in Tehran is beginning to shift from the existing clerical theocracy toward a more conventional authoritarian regime
