DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book reconstructs and analyzes the history of left-wing politics in Iran and its Russo-Caucasian origins during the Persian Constitutional Revolution. It is also a history of the formative years of the socialist movement in Iran between the first Russian revolution of 1905, when Iran first felt the organizational influence of Russian Marxism, and the suppression of the Iranian Constitutional regime by Tsarist bayonets in the shadow of British support in 1911. The first study to unravel and reconstruct the decisive role of social democracy in Iran's most important transformation in modern times, this book recovers a vital part of Iran's modern history. Based on research in Iranian, Azeri, Armenian, Georgian, Russian, British, German, French, and American sources, it explains the deep roots and consequences of Iran's Constitutional Revolution and its international character.

Cronin excavates the successive challenges to Riza Shah's regime posed by a range of subaltern social groups and seeks to restore to these groups a sense of their historical agency.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This interdisciplinary volume offers a range of studies spanning the various historical, political, legal, and cultural features of social justice in Iran, and proposes that the present-day realities of life in Iran could not be farther from the promises of the Iranian Revolution. The ideals of social justice and participatory democracy that galvanized a resilient nation in 1979 have been abandoned as an avaricious ruling elite has privatized the economy, abandoned social programs and subsidy payments for the poor, and suppressed the struggles of women, workers, students, and minorities for equality. At its core, Iran’s Struggles for Social Justice seeks to educate and to develop a new discourse on social justice in Iran.

This book provides the first comprehensive study of the impact of Soviet policy on the Caucasus, focusing in particular on the period from 1917 to 1955. It argues that understanding the Soviet legacy in the region remains critical to analysing both the new states of the Transcaucasus and the autonomous territories of the North Caucasus.

To the Crusaders, Armenian Christians presented the only reliable allies in Anatolia and Asia Minor, and were pivotal in the founding of the Crusader principalities of Edessa, Antioch, Jerusalem and Tripoli. The Anatolian kingdom of Cilicia was founded by the Roupenian dynasty (mid 10th to late 11th century), and grew under the collective rule of the Hetumian dynasty (late 12th to mid 14th century). After confrontations with Byzantium, the Seljuks and the Mongols, the Second Crusade led to the crowning of the first Cilician king despite opposition from Byzantium. Following the Third Crusade, power shifted in Cilicia to the Lusignans of Cyprus (mid to late 14th century), culminating in the final collapse of the kingdom at the hands of the Egyptian Mamluks.
