Iran’s first revolution in 1906 provided the country with a constitution and parliament, laying the foundations for its political development over the next century. Although overshadowed by the later Islamic Revolution of 1979, it was the Constitutional Revolution - modelled on the British constitution and British political ideas - that gave birth to the modern state and shaped future political development.
This lecture will explore the ideas that shaped the revolution and its lasting legacy on Iranian politics.
This lecture was recorded by Ali Ansari on 17 October 2023 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London
Ali is Professor of Iranian History and Founding Director of the Institute for Iranian Studies at the University of St Andrews; Senior Associate Fellow, Royal United Services Institute.
