  • Economic Expertise and Rural Improvement in Iran, 1948-1963 by Gregory Brew Georgetown University
    ROCKEFELLER ARCHIVE CENTER RESEARCH REPORTS Economic Expertise and Rural Improvement in Iran, 1948-1963 by Gregory Brew Georgetown University 2017 by Gregory Brew Americans played a key role in Iran’s oil-based development program of the 1950s and early 1960s, both through the U.S. government’s official overseas development programs and private organizations.1 Oil has historically been viewed as a key foundation of the Pahlavi regime of Mohammed Reza Shah (r. 1941-1979). According to Ruhollah Ramazani, following the U.S.-supported 1953 coup d’etat, “neither political consolidation nor economic rehabilitation could be envisaged” without the financial resources accrued from oil, “the backbone of the Iranian economy.”2 Iran’s oil was placed in the hands of an international consortium of oil companies through a new oil agreement with the shah’s government in 1954, and annual revenues from the consortium’s sale of Iranian oil abroad grew from $33 million to $338 million between 1955 and 1960.3 Yet oil power needed expertise to be applied effectively, and from the U.S. point of view the Pahlavi state seemed rickety and corrupt, in need of American “know-how” to turn its oil power into lasting socio-economic growth and political stability for the shah’s regime. With American support, a determined effort was made to transform oil into a foundation for long-term societal and economic stability, through a central development program, the Second Seven Year Plan (1955-1962). For American “developmentalists” involved in assisting Iran’s efforts, the primary goal was to correct what they viewed as Iranian inability to manage such bountiful resources: to apply American know-how, managerial acumen and technical expertise to the Iranian development program.

  • Iranian Economy in the Twentieth Century: a Global Perspective*
    Iranian Studies, volume xx, number x, April 2009 Iranian Economy in the Twentieth Century: A Global Perspective* Hadi Salehi Esfahani, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and M. Hashem Pesaran, University of Cambridge and USC August 28, 2008 Abstract This paper examines the transformation of the Iranian economy through the Twentieth Century within a global context. At the start of that century, the Iranian economy had long remained stagnant, poor, and largely agrarian, with a marginal role in the world economy. By the turn of 21st century, Iran had transformed into a complex and relatively large economy with important consequences for the economies of the Middle East and other parts of the world. While the initial conditions and the evolution of domestic institutions and resources played major roles in the pace and nature of that transformation, relations with the rest of the world had crucial influences as well. This paper focuses on the latter forces, while taking account of their interactions with domestic factors in shaping the particular form of economic development in Iran. We study the ways in which the development of the Iranian economy has been affected by international price movements and by the ebbs and flows of trade, investment, and economic growth in the rest of the world. In considering these effects, we also analyze the role of domestic political economy factors and policies in enhancing or hindering the ability of domestic producers to respond to external challenges and opportunities.

  • Loving and Hating America in Turkey and Iran: a Cold War Story of Alliance Politics and Authoritarian Modernization, 1945-1980
    Loving and Hating America in Turkey and Iran: A Cold War Story of Alliance Politics and Authoritarian Modernization, 1945-1980 Barın Kayaoğlu Ankara, Turkey B.A., Bilkent University, 2001 M.A., Bilkent University, 2002 M.A., Bilkent University, 2005 M.A., University of Virginia, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia December 2014 © Copyright by Barın Kayaoğlu All Rights Reserved December 2014 To Lara, Arda, Ayla, Hasan, Barkın, and Demet and Mel Leffler, the captain with the mighty heart Abstract This dissertation is a study of U.S. relations with Turkey and Iran during the Cold War and the rise of anti-Americanism in the two countries. The dissertation explores why pro-American sentiments in Turkey and Iran in the 1940s and 1950s turned into vicious anti-Americanism in the 1960s and reached a crescendo by the 1970s. The study argues that, rather than individual events such as the CIA-sponsored coup d’état against Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddeq in 1953 or the successive coups in Turkey, authoritarian modernization in the two countries and their turbulent alliances with the United States led to anti-Americanism. Although U.S. officials encouraged economic and social development in Turkey and Iran – building schools, hospitals, dams, factories, and roads – they remained mostly silent on the question of political change for the sake of stability. While authoritarianism undermined the political institutions that could have ameliorated economic and social ills in the two countries, Ankara and Tehran’s geopolitical interests began to diverge from Washington’s global and regional priorities by the 1960s.
