Wither Iran? [PDF ebook] 
Reform, Domestic Politics and National Security

Terrorism and the Middle East are often connected. The fear that these will be a future source of threat with weapons of mass destruction, notably nuclear or biological weapons, has grown in recent years. This book looks at the politics of one important state in the region — Iran — and concludes that political reform in that country is changing it in ways that are reducing it as a threat to its neighbours and to international security.
