- This 227-page research monograph is the first examination of the role played by modernization theory in US-Iranian relations during the 1960s. It provides critical insight regarding US policymaking to highlight the limited influence of modernization in American circles and the agency of the Shah in shaping US-Iranian relations. The work is based on extensive research in US archives. Previously classified US government documents are used alongside oral histories involving both American and Iranian actors, newspapers, memoirs and diaries. The book contributes in a complex and weighty manner to the research literature on foreign relations, development history and American political history.
