There have been three main phases of political discourse in recent Iranian history.<br>
A paternalistic era was accompanied by a phase of absolutistic rule during the
Qagar dynasty. This phase was followed by a forced modernization, when the
Shah of Iran expanded his absolutistic rule and established a dictatorship. With
the Islamic Revolution of 1979, a new phase of political discourse emerged with
a tendency towards religious traditionalism. The author states that religion and
democracy are not in opposition. However, there is need for dialogue between
the East and the West.
