Overview

In "Domestic Politics in Iran and a Future Regional Process," Ariane Tabatabai examines the relationship between changes in Iranian domestic politics and the country's role in regional security in the Middle East. By doing so, she assesses the challenges and opportunities faced by the Iranian government in engaging with the rest of the region, underlining the particular areas of potential cooperation for Iran and key regional actors. She puts the bilateral relations between Iran and regional states in the context of wider regional security concerns and cooperation and highlights where Tehran can and cannot compromise. The chapter also addresses the specific Iranian policies, interests, and values that may reveal challenging for a potential dialogue on regional security.
