Sunni Communities in the Islamic Republic of Iran, 2013-2021
Securitization, Secularization and Privatization
Series:
Author:
Sunni-Shia relations in Iran offer an analytical guide for the interpretation of inequality, securitization, and immigration. This book reorients our understanding of contemporary Iran by answering still unacknowledged questions: how is the relationship, the interaction and socio-political behaviour between the Islamic Republic and its Sunni minorities? Using unexamined sources and fieldwork, Hessam Habibi Doroh shows a clear insight into the life of Iranian Sunnis, their contention and cooperation with the state during Hasan Rouhani´s presidency. Comparison with the wider region complements this nuanced portrayal of impacts of privatization, secularization, and securitization on the sectarian relations between the state and its minorities.
Hessam Habibi Doroh specializes in South Asian Studies and in International Relations in Austria. Currently he is lecturer and researcher at the University of Applied Sciences, FH Campus Vienna.
