Iran: A Country Study

New Entry in the Country Study Series Examines Iran

Iran: A Country Study offers a concise and objective examination of the dominant historical, geographic, social, economic, political, and military aspects of contemporary Iran. Edited by experts from the Federal Research Division (FRD) of the Library of Congress, this comprehensive new study includes five chapters covering Iran's:

  • Historical Setting
  • Society and environment (covering geography, population, social systems, education, health, and welfare)
  • Economy (focuses on overview and sectoral analyses)
  • Government and politics (covers political institutions, political dynamics, and foreign policy)
  • National security (covers military institutions and regional and national security problems/issues).
As with all publications in this long-running and highly-esteemed series, individual chapters in Iran: A Country Study are written by outside experts/academics under the guidance of FRD staff editors, who are themselves regional experts. The goal is to produce broad, yet in-depth coverage of foreign nations, written in a concise and objective manner, for a general audience.
