U.S.-Iran Misperceptions: A Dialogue by Edited by Abbas Maleki and John Tirman - 2014

Bloomsbury Academic, 2014. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. The eight essays in this collection focus on the major issues that have kept the U.S. and Iran at odds since 1979. Editors Maleki and Tirman and seven co-authors concentrate on those issues rather than the history of the frayed relationship. They also seek to present practical solutions, ways the two countries could avoid war and reconcile their differences. Essays address a variety of subjects, including: perceptions and policy traps, Iranian perceptions of U.S. policy toward Iran, American perceptions of Iran and its policies toward the region, the future of U.S.-Iran relations, and improving the relationship and overcoming perceptual biases. The book will attract readers interested in the U.S.-Iran relationship, politics of the Middle East, and related topics. (2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR)
