Muqaddamah-ʼi bar jughrāfiyā-yi siyāsī-i daryāhā: bā taʼkīd bar ābhā-yi Īrān

Written by Zahrā Pīshgāhī Fard, this third edition of 'Muqaddamah-ʼi bar jughrāfiyā-yi siyāsī-i daryāhā' (Introduction to the Political Geography of Seas) offers a detailed examination of maritime geopolitics with a specific lens on the Islamic Republic of Īrān. Published by Dānishgāh-i Tihrān, the text navigates complex concepts of international maritime law—such as baselines, territorial waters, and exclusive economic zones—before applying these frameworks to the strategic waters surrounding Īrān. Readers will find in-depth discussions regarding the delimitation of boundaries in the Khalīj-i Fārs (Persian Gulf) and Daryā-yi ʻUmmān, alongside the evolving legal status of the Daryā-yi Khazar (Caspian Sea). The volume also addresses international border rivers and includes appendices of treaties and legal protocols relevant to Īrān's maritime jurisdiction.
