Tagma and Paul E. Lenze, Jr. analyze the crisis' surrounding Iran's nuclear program through a variety of theoretical approaches, including realism, world-systems theory, liberal institutionalism, domestic politics, and multi-level games. Through these theories, Tagma and Lenze use established academic perspectives to create a more objective understanding and explanation of the debates and issues. Introducing the concept of eclectic pluralism to the study of international relations, Understanding and Explaining the Iranian Nuclear Crisis' presents theoretical approaches side by side to explore a complex and evolving international dispute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this important book, Halit M. E. Tagma and Paul E. Lenze, Jr. go beyond previous\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003escholarly efforts to provide important insights and rectifications. Engaging in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewhat they refer to as ‘eclectic pluralism,’ the authors provide outstanding applications\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof various theories to the Iranian nuclear program, thus illuminating different and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eoften overlooked aspects of it. The result is a comprehensive and nuanced understanding\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof the challenges and opportunities the United States and other actors in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einternational politics have in their relations with Iran.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Akan Malici, Furman University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a superb example of the benefit of using rigorous theoretical perspectives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein analyzing ‘real-world problems’ and serves as a well-argued defense of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eeclectic pluralism in international relations. The chapters are empirically rich and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etheoretically sound. This book will not only benefit undergraduate and graduate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estudents but also the educated public who wish to understand the politics and complexity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esurrounding Iran’s nuclear program. \u003c\/p\u003e -- Balkan Devlen, University of Copenhagen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe idea of this book in employing the contending theoretical perspectives is so\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eclever and convenient that the authors skillfully show why the nature of the case itself\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enecessitates the use of different theoretical perspectives to make an objective explanation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof the issue. Surely, this book can be used not only as an intellectual contribution\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto the case and the theories but also as an example\/model of how to do further\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eresearch.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Ramazan Gözen, Marmara University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorrowing from Graham Allison’s seminal approach, this book proceeds to take\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emultiple different theoretical\/analytic ‘cuts’ upon the Iran case. The result is a rich\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eanalysis of the Iranian case and useful insights into Iran’s motivations.
