| Summary/Abstract |
Iran's election fraud last June, the civil unrest that followed, and the regime's continuing crackdown against dissenters have their roots in the country's poor economic condition. They are also rooted in efforts by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his allies in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to grab control over large swaths of the economy.

| Summary/Abstract |
The literature on economic development is long and rich, but until the late 1970s no one challenged the standard conception of development, a model focused on raising percapita incomes and the simple transformation of economies from an agrarian to an industrial base. In recent decades, inspired by the pioneering work of Mahbub ul Haq and Amartya sen, economists increasingly have argued that development involves much more.

| Summary/Abstract |
Political Islam has been part of the modern Middle East landscape for several decades, but until recently the United States has rarely perceived a need to engage it. After the attacks against New York and Washington on September 11, 2001, the administration of George W. Bush painted political Islam in the Middle East, as in the rest of the Muslim world, with the broad brush of terrorism.
