The first chapter of the book
“Destructive Coordination, Anfal and Islamic Political Capitalism: A New Reading of Contemporary Iran”
This book provides an original and entirely fresh interpretation of the political economy of the Islamic Republic of Iran and should be considered as one of the pioneering studies on the topics introduced. It is a unique academic work in the field of economics that adopts a multidisciplinary approach. Its subject matter lies at the intersections of economics, political science, Islamic studies, law, and history. Furthermore, its findings on Anfal are based on an extensive review of primary sources in both Shi’a and Sunni jurisprudence, as well as in Persian and Arabic languages, and are grounded in research into the records of constitutional debates and other legal and juridical texts of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
