    Abstract: Iran is an ancient country, an oil-exporting economy and an Islamic Republic. It experienced two full-scale revolutions in the twentieth century, the latter of which had large and important regional and international consequences, including an eight-year war with Saddam Hussein`s Iraq. And now in the twenty-first century, it confronts issues and experiences problems which have important implications for its future development and external relations.Featuring outstanding contributions from leading sociologists, social anthropologists, political scientists and economists in the field of Iranian studies, this book is the first to examine Iran and its position in the contemporary world.

    Abstract: The international community increasingly responds to civil wars, humanitarian crises, and other intrastate conflicts through the instrument of UN peacekeeping. Nearly all of these interventions take place in non-Western areas and involve interactions among militaries and nongovernmental organizations from all around the globe. In this wide-ranging book, Rubinstein draws on decades of his own research on peacekeeping, and on other current and historical cases, to develop a broad understanding of the roles that culture plays in peacekeeping's success or failure. Peacekeeping under Fire shows that cultural considerations are key elements at all levels of peacekeeping operations. Culture influences what happens between peacekeepers and local populations, how military and nongovernmental organizations interact, and even how missions are planned and authorized. Peacekeeping under Fire analyzes how political symbolism and ritual are critical to peacekeeping and demonstrates how questions of power, identity, and political perception emerge from the cultural context of peacekeeping. Review: Today more than ever we need an internationalist and humanist perspective on peacekeeping. In contrast to other studies that seek a technical fix to peacekeeping failures in the past, this absorbing new book, by a leading anthropologist of peace and conflict, places power and culture at the center of its analysis and recommendations.-Matthew Gutmann, Brown UniversityAn engaging book that analyses the complex world of the peacekeeper. Peacekeepers are not robots, but humans with powerful drives, motivations and sensitivities and this work seeks to address the way in which these factors play out on the world stage. If you have rarely considered the human side of peacekeeping and how it affects those whose duties require a range of response in critical environments, then this book will provide you with useful insight.-Dr. Deborah Goodwin, Royal Military Academy Sandhurst,UK Robert Rubinstein's Peacekeeping Under Fire-set in the turbulent contemporary world- is a fascinating and thought provoking investigation. Ethnographically rich and theoretically sophisticated, it is essential reading for anyone interested in peace and international security.- Carolyn Nordstrom, University of Notre DameThis book is a significant contribution to our understanding of international peacekeeping, and how it has changed in the past two decades, as well as an important demonstration of how the perspective of cultural anthropology can enrich our understanding of modern military operations.- David R. Segal, Director Center for Research on Military Organization, University of MarylandRubinstein convincingly makes the case that acknowledging the cultural dimensions of UN peacekeeping missions is not just a 'humane' and politically correct thing to do; rather, consideration of culture, especially symbolic expressions, is an essential ingredient for the effectiveness and success of peacekeeping missions.Rubinstein's Peacekeeping under Fire gives the first extensive account of how culture directly impacts peacekeeping operations and sets the stage for a new field in 21st century peacekeeping interventions.Tanja Hohe ChopraThe World Bank, Kenya
