Iran's Foreign Policy in the Post-Soviet Era: Resisting the New International Order provides the first truly comprehensive, in-depth survey of Iranian foreign policy, issue by issue and country by country, since the Islamic Revolution. To help readers understand both the what and the why of Iran's role in the world and formulate useful responses to that role, the author provides a detailed analysis of Iranian foreign policy in all its dimensions. The first part of the book places Iranian actions, particularly its relations with the United States and other key players, within the context of the emerging international system, while also showing how domestic developments impact foreign policy. The second part surveys Iranian relations with specific actors, notably the United States and Russia, and with key regions, including Europe, Central Asia, the Arab world, Latin America, and Africa. Providing an antidote to existing preconceptions, this incisive analysis lays an analytically sound basis for shaping policies toward Iran—policies with potentially high payoff in terms of regional security and stability.

‎《后苏联时代的伊朗外交政策：抵制新国际秩序》是自伊斯兰革命以来首次对伊朗外交政策进行了真正全面、深入的调查。为了帮助读者了解伊朗在世界上的角色是什么以及为什么，并对这一角色做出有用的回应，作者从各个方面对伊朗的外交政策进行了详细的分析。本书的第一部分将伊朗的行动，特别是与美国和其他主要参与者的关系，置于新兴国际体系的背景下，同时也展示了国内发展如何影响外交政策。第二部分调查了伊朗与特定行为体的关系，特别是美国和俄罗斯，以及与欧洲、中亚、阿拉伯世界、拉丁美洲和非洲等关键地区的关系。这一精辟的分析为现有的先入之见提供了解药，为制定针对伊朗的政策奠定了分析上合理的基础——这些政策在地区安全和稳定方面可能具有很高的回报。‎
