Description: This book examines Iranian foreign policy, with a focus on the years since 2001. The first part looks at the underpinnings and key foundations of the Islamic Republic's external behaviour: the role of power in driving foreign policy, the tension between ideology and pragmatism, the country's strategic culture and the importance of the nuclear program. The second part then examines Iran's relations with key countries and regions, with a focus on its more immediate environment and on its relations with great powers.
