A Study of the Root Causes and Process of the Islamic Revolution in Iran

Revolutions are complex phenomena driven by long-term structural pressures as well as immediate political catalysts. A Study of the Root Causes and Process of the Islamic Revolution in Iran offers a systematic examination of how social, political, and ideological forces converged to produce one of the most consequential revolutions of the twentieth century.

About the Book A Study of the Root Causes and Process of the Islamic Revolution in Iran analyzes the Iranian Revolution as a dynamic process rather than a sudden rupture. The book examines underlying causes such as political authoritarianism, social inequality, economic dependency, and cultural alienation, alongside the mobilizing role of religious institutions and leadership. It traces the stages of revolutionary escalation, from early opposition and protest movements to mass mobilization and regime collapse. By integrating structural analysis with narrative progression, the work provides a comprehensive account of how diverse forces interacted over time to bring about revolutionary transformation.
