| Sumario: | Democratic uprisings in the New Middle East: youth, technology, human rights, and US Foreign Policy, by Mahmood Monshipouri Boulder, London, Paradigm Publishers, 2014, pp. xi+220 (paperback), ISBN: 9781612051352 The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has become a hotbed of revolt, rebellion and resentment driven by many people who have long felt disillusioned with and disenfranchised by their ruling regimes. Taken together, the lines of evidence examined should generate a compelling debate about Iran's "Green Movement", U.S.-Iran relations, and leverage of socio-political situation in Libya, Syria and Bahrain with respect to the U.S. foreign policy. The U.S. foreign policy has frequently clashed directly with Islamic Republic of Iran, often emphasising the latter's preoccupation with the Islamic law.
