Siyāsat-i Urūpā dar Īrān: awrāqī chand az tārīkh-i siyāsī va dīplumāsī bih inẓimām-i chand guftār-i dīgar va baʻz̤ī asnād va nāmahʹhā

Originally presented as a doctoral thesis at the University of Lausanne in 1921, this comprehensive historical study by Maḥmūd Afshār Yazdī examines the complex diplomatic and political landscape of Īrān under the influence of European powers. Titled *Siyāsat-i Urūpā dar Īrān*, the work is a Persian translation of *La Politique Européenne en Perse* and provides a detailed analysis of the strategic rivalries that defined the Qājār era. The text is structured into two main sections: the first explores the expansionist policies of Russia, detailing the Russo-Persian wars, the imposition of the Treaties of Gulistān and Turkamānchāy, and Tsarist economic penetration; the second investigates British policy, focusing on the defence of India and the geopolitical manoeuvring known as the Great Game. This edition, translated by Sayyid Z̤iyāʼ al-Dīn Dihshīrī, is augmented with additional essays, historical documents, and correspondence, offering a vital resource for understanding the external forces that shaped modern Īrānian history.
