"Incorporating history, sociology, and rule of law studies, this book sheds light
on an understudied but fascinating dimension of modernization in Iran, namely the
emergence of a new legal system between the 1906 Constitutional Revolution and the
end of Reza Shah's rule in 1941. While Iranian constitutionalism can be seen as part
of a global trend of constitutional revolutions at the turn of the twentieth century,
in Iran, an unusual institutional and historical background shaped a path to legal
reform that was in many ways unique. Among other factors, the scholastic legalism
of the Shi'i ulama and the considerable autonomy they enjoyed in administering the
civil law in the nineteenth century made legal reform a particularly contested, difficult,
and politically charged aspect of state building"--Unedited summary from book cover
