  • State, Dissidents, and Contention: Iran, 1979-2010
    STATE, DISSIDENTS, AND CONTENTION: IRAN, 1979-2010 HAMID REZAI SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 ©2012 Hamid Rezai All rights reserved ABSTRACT State, Dissidents, and Contention: Iran, 1979-2010 Hamid Rezai Why after almost a decade of silence and “successful” crackdowns of contention during the 1980s has Iran witnessed once again waves of increasing popular protest? What are the processes and mechanisms behind the routinization of collective actions in Iran since the early 1990s, which continue despite state repression? Why and under what circumstances does a strong authoritarian state that has previously marginalized its contenders tolerate some forms of contention despite the state’s continued repressive capacity? And finally, to what extent are available social movement theories capable of explaining the Iranian case? In “State, Dissidents, and Contention: Iran, 1979-2010” I engage theories of social movements and contentious politics in order to examine the emergence, development, and likely outcomes of popular contention in contemporary Iran. My study is the first project of its kind to focus on elite factionalism and its impact on popular mobilization in contemporary Iran. Although other scholars have extensively written on elite factionalism in postrevolutionary Iran, they have not analyzed the implications of the inter-elite conflict for the emergence and development of social protests against the Islamic Republic. While this study primarily utilizes political process and resource mobilization models, it acknowledges the importance of economic, ideological, and breakdown approaches for the interpretation of the emergence and development of popular mobilization in contemporary Iran.

  • Guardians of the Islamic Revolution Ideology, Politics, and the Development of Military Power in Iran (1979–2009)
    Guardians of the Islamic Revolution Ideology, Politics, and the Development of Military Power in Iran (1979–2009) by Afshon P. Ostovar A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2009 Doctoral Committee: Professor Juan R. Cole, Chair Associate Professor Kathryn Babayan Assistant Professor Farina Mir Sussan Babaie, American University of Cairo Copyright © 2009 Afshon P. Ostovar ii Acknowledgements This dissertation would not have been possible without the assistance of several individuals and the continual support of the University of Michigan’s Rackham Graduate School and Department of History. The latter institutions provided me with the organizational scaffolding and financial resources to pursue and complete my doctoral degree. The Department of History’s administrative staff—particularly Lorna Altstetter, Kathleen King, Diana Denney, and Sheila Coley—are truly the unsung heroes of every doctoral student’s career, and especially mine. They made navigating the endless paperwork and bureaucratic processes of graduate school nearly painless and far more efficient than I could have hoped. My research was greatly assisted by the kind efforts of Jonathan Rodgers, Middle East Bibliographer at the University of Michigan’s Hatcher Graduate Library, who helped me obtain various Persian sources and microfilms that proved invaluable to my study. The librarians at the Hoover Institution Library and Archives spent many hours assisting me in navigating their extensive visual and textual collections. My writing benefitted from the tolerant culture of Ann Arbor’s cafés, which allow graduate students to loiter at all times of the day and night.
