Istiḥālah-i yik sāzmān: barrasī-i ʻamalkard-i Sāzmān-i Mujāhidīn-i Inqilāb-i Islāmī-i Īrān

Istiḥālah-i yik sāzmān examines the formation, internal divisions and political activities of the Sāzmān-i Mujāhidīn-i Inqilāb-i Islāmī-i Īrān. Prepared by the Muʼassasah-i Farhangī Hunarī-i Qadr-i Vilāyat, it presents a critical institutional account of the organisation and its changing relationship with the Islamic Republic. Chapters trace its constituent groups, early revolutionary activity, factional disputes and involvement in successive governments and parliamentary elections. Later sections address reformist politics, the presidency of Muḥammad Khātamī, the sixth parliament and the disputed presidential election of 2009. The final chapter introduces members and reproduces the organisation’s programme and statutes. Bibliographical references and personal-name and subject indexes support consultation. The volume offers material for studying Iranian party politics and the political arguments through which the organisation has been represented by its critics.
