Law, state, and society in modern Iran: Constitutionalism, autocracy, and legal reform, 1906-1941

Abstract

Using a ‘Historical Institutionalist’ approach, this book sheds light on a relatively understudied dimension of state-building in early twentieth century Iran, namely the quest for judicial reform and the rule of law from the 1906 Constitutional Revolution to the end of Reza Shah’s rule in 1941.
