HUMAN RIGHTS AND AGENTS OF CHANGE IN IRAN GEBUNDEN

This volume extends debates on the interaction between universal human rights and the political
experiences of Iranians  through a conceptual analysis of ¿theories of change¿. It assesses the
practical processes by which individuals  organizations and movements can reform or impact the
structural  theological and political challenges faced in the Iranian context. Contributors to
this volume investigate how structures  institutions  and agents in Iran maneuver for influence
and power at the state level  through the law  in international corridors  at the grassroots 
and by implementing multiple and complex methods. The chapters provide distinct but
interrelated analysis of key drivers of change in Iran. A number of those operate primarily
through top-down approaches  such as the political reform movement  lawyers pursuing
legislative change  and international human rights monitoring bodies. Others take a bottom-up
approach  including local movements and campaigns such as the women¿s movement  the labor
movement  the student movement  and ethnic minority groups. By prompting drivers of change to
think about causation  influence  sequencing  prioritization  roles and relationships  a theory
of change ultimately makes the work more effective. Through rigorous analysis of these issues
for drivers of change in the Islamic State  this volume is an important contribution to human
rights in Iran. In an era of escalating tensions in the Middle East  it amplifies voices of
reform and freedom  filling a crucial gap in our understanding of this region.
