| Summary: | The death of Ayatollah Khomeini in June 1989 was an important landmark in the history of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The author examines stabilizing forces in the country after his death. It is pointed out that the clerical system in Iran is far more complex, flexible and resilient than might be expected. However, despite their basic commitment to Islam and the revolution, the clerical leaders often demonstrate contradictory attitudes and hold opposing view points. (DÜI-Sen) |
