The Revolutionary Guards in Iranian Politics: Elites and Shifting Relations by B

Description: The Revolutionary Guards in Iranian Politics by Bayram Sinkaya This book shows that the IRGC is not a recently politicized institution as often assumed, but has been highly politicized since its inception. It examines the three decades following the revolution, uncovering the reasons behind the rise of the Revolutionary Guards. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has been dubbed the kingmaker in recent studies of Iranian politics, precipitating heated debates surrounding the potential militarization of the Iranian regime and giving rise to paradoxical understandings of the IRGC; whether as a military institution entering politics, or a political institution with a military history. Revolutionary Guards in Iranian Politics offers a way out of this paradox by showing that the IRGC is not a recently politicized institution, but has instead been highly politicized since its inception. It identifies the ways in which the IRGC relates to national political dynamics, examines the factors contributing to this relationship, and its implications on Iranian politics from the revolution up to the present day. The book examines the three decades following the revolution, uncovering the reasons behind the rise of the Revolutionary Guards and tracking the organizations evolving relationship with politics. Establishing a theoretical framework from revolution and civil-military relations theories, this book provides new perspectives on the relationship between the IRGC and Iranian politics. This book would be of interest to students and scholars of Middle East Studies and Iranian Studies, in particular Iranian Politics.
