Superstition as Ideology in Iranian Politics: From Majlesi to Ahmadinejad - Cambridge Middle East Studies
Rahnema, Ali (The American University of Paris, France)
Examines the endurance and influence of mystical beliefs on political strategy in Iran from the Safavid dynasty to the present day. Rahnema demonstrates, with examples from contemporary Iranian politics, that this has allowed leaders to present themselves as representatives of the divine, and their rivals as the embodiment of evil.
