Routledge Arms Control and Iranian Foreign Policy - Routledge Studies

Since 2003, when Iran's uranium enrichment and plutonium separation capabilities became public knowledge, the nation's nuclear program has dominated international arms control discussions. This comprehensive study examines the Islamic Republic of Iran's diplomatic strategies in arms control negotiations and reveals how these negotiations have shaped the country's foreign policy across different historical periods. The book addresses a significant gap in existing research on Iran's foreign and security policies by providing detailed analysis of the IRI's diplomatic operations within the arms control framework. Scholars, policymakers, and students of Middle Eastern politics, international relations, and nuclear diplomacy will find this work essential for understanding the complex relationship between Iran's nuclear ambitions and its broader diplomatic objectives.
