The death of the islamic republic's revolutionary patriarch, ayatollah khomeini, the bitter denouement of the iran-iraq war, and marginalisation of leading factions within the political elite, in tandem with the end of the cold war, harboured immense intellectual and political repercussions for the iranian state and society. It was these events which created the conditions for the emergence of iran's post-revolutionary reform movement, as its intellectuals and political leaders sought to re-evaluate the foundations of the islamic state's political legitimacy and religious authority. In this monograph, sadeghi-boroujerdi, examines the rise and evolution of reformist political thought in iran and analyses the complex network of publications, study circles, and think-tanks that encompassed a range of prominent politicians and intellectuals in the 1990s.
