| Descripción: | This essay attempts to analyse the political, economic, social and religious history of Iran in the 20th. Century. It begins with a critical study of the Pahlavi dynasty and continues with Iran’s Shi‘ite Islamic Revolution led by the Ayatullah Khumayni, enemy of the Shah and founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran in February 1979. Khumayni proposed the political, economic and social possibility that religion would be an alternative to capitalism, to the dynasty in power, to secularism and to the Shah Muhammad Reza Pahlavi. Khumayni`s regime was also abusive, and came to be as repressive as the Shah’s. Iran’s extreme nationalization plans under Khumayni’s goverment experienced a systematic process of revisions, obviously after Khumayni’s death in 1989. These revisions and changes in the politics, and the economy of the country led to an increasing opening to privatization, capitalism and globalization due to the more moderate governments that followed after Khumayni’s death, mainly those of Rafsanjani and Khatami. The contrast between the two periods of the Islamic Republic is so evident that a Second Republic of Iran was founded and developed. This essay analyses these issues up to Khatami’s government and it has a historical, social, economic and their political interpretation. |
