The populist Islamic revolution of 1979 heralded an expanded economic role for the Iranian state aimed at safeguarding the revolution’s redistributive aims. However, the Iranian economy in the 1980s and 1990s has deteriorated markedly, both compared to its past achievement and to the performance of other countries in the region. The state’s enlarged role in the economy has thus been accompanied by acute macroeconomic instability and a sharp decline in the standard of living. This volume, written by international scholars and academics, identifies the principal issues, social, economic and political, that have shaped and determined Iran’s economic performance since the revolution. It includes a section on women’s social participation in Iran in the last two decades.
