Description

Explore the complex relationship between religion and technology in this academic study from Routledge. Iranian Media: The Paradox of Modernity examines how the post-revolutionary state in Iran attempts to combine Sharia with modern advancements and electricity. This text provides a deep look into the state's efforts to balance Islamic values with the demands of a modern era. Readers will learn about the economic shifts in Iran, including the state's approach to private capital and its quasi anti-capitalist politics. The book details how the government restricted market relations and nationalized major parts of the industry, specifically the communications system. It also tracks the transition toward market-driven development and economic policies that began during the reconstruction period following the war with Iraq. This work is an essential resource for those studying Middle Eastern history, media studies, and the political economy of the region.
