- Summary
- "Iran is one of the United States' most important foreign policy concerns. It has also been an extraordinarily difficult country with which to engage. Ironically, while the leadership has been hostile to the United States, Iranian society has evolved in ways friendly to the United States and U.S. interests. This monograph assesses current political, ethnic, demographic, and economic trends and vulnerabilities in Iran. The authors provide recommendations for U.S. policies that might foster trends beneficial to U.S. interests, while underscoring that even if favorable trends take root, it will take time for them to come to fruition."--BOOK JACKET.
