Human rights and agents of change in Iran: towards a theory of change
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 student movement, and ethnic minority groups.
