"Arshin Adib-Moghaddam has made great contributions both to the study of Iran, as a case
study, and to the study of world politics as a field of inquiry. Not only does he show the
importance of the domestic sources of foreign policy, he pays equal attention to the effect of
extra-territorial groups and significant individuals on a country's domestic discourse regarding
policy formulation. His study is a dynamic and analytical one, where both ideational and material
dialectics shape the contemporary politics. Not only is this an original contribution, but it
also serves as an in-depth critical analysis as well as a full description of the existing
literature." — A. Reza Sheikholeslami, The American University of Sharjah />
