Contents The man behind the movement -- The ideas behind reform -- The Khatami way -- From slogan to practice -- Khatami and the world -- Obstacles to reform -- Khatami's revolution and beyond Summary To understand contemporary Irana??s notoriously complex politics, it is essential to grasp the monumental changes initiated by Mohammad Khatami. The previously little-known cleric stormed to victory in Irana??s 1997 presidential elections with nearly 70 percent of the vote, encouraging Irana??s reform movement to flourish during his eight year tenure as president. Ghoncheh Tazminia??s book offers a thought-provoking, astutely close-up yet systematic analysis of Khatami the man and the reform movement that supported him. She provides us with the first insight into Khatami and his politics, unravelling from the inside the dramatic emergence and consequences of Irana??s vibrant reform movement. Balanced and analytical, this book provides a comprehensive and finely detailed introduction to the subtleties of contemporary Irana??s complex political culture. At the same time it is an important reference point for a critical period of Irana??s post-revolutionary trajectory, especially given the controversial Post-Khatami developments in the country following the election of President Ahmadinejad. And with the Ahmadinejad view of Iranian politics creating a measure of discord in the country, Khatamia??s role as a player on the Iranian political scene remains firm. -- Publisher description Analysis Iran Politics and government 1997- Khātamī, Muḥammad Influence Presidents Iran Biography Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 175-201) and index Notes Master and use copy.
