"The Boundaries of Modern Iran" analyzes the entire length of Iranian international boundaries. It reviews the establishment, evolution and continuing contentions over Iranian frontier zones and boundary lines, from the creation of the Iranian nation state out of the diverse and dispersed areas of the Persian empire - a process that has given rise to many contemporary problems that spill over into dispute and conflict. The coverage encompasses the volatile war zones of the Gulf, the Shatt Al-Arab boundary, the insecure Kurdish regions of Iran's marches with Iraq, and the diplomatically sensitive balance with Christian Armenia and Muslim Azarbaijan in the northwest. A senior Iranian foreign ministry official reviews the Irano-Central Asian and Transcaucasian boundaries, while Iranian and other specialists look at the problems affecting areas such as the Irano-Afghani and Irano-Pakistani frontiers. As a completely new set of authoritative border studies, "The Boundaries of Modern Iran" aims to help considerably in the development of an understanding of the many and complex frontier issues that confront peace and stability at the crossroads of the Gulf, Central Asia, Caucasia and the Iraqi fertile crescent. Students and researchers in international relations, geopolitics, and Middle Eastern and Arab affairs should find the book a key contemporary account of a crucial dimension in their fields of interest. The book is aimed at students, researchers, lecturers in international relations, geopolitics, political geography, Middle Eastern studies, Arab affairs.
