Iran's strategic culture: the 'revolutionary' and 'moderation' narratives on the ballistic missile programmeStrategic cultureBallistic missileIranForeign policySocial SciencesPublished online: 17 Sep 2020.Drawing on an analytical framework that combines strategic culture theory with narrative analysis, this paper explores the recent evolution of Iran’s ballistic missile programme (BMP) (2015–2019). Iran’s strategic culture attributes a key role to the BMP but nevertheless allows room for manoeuvre in Iran’s security policy, which explains multiple and sometimes contradicting visions of the BMP. We demonstrate that Iran’s approach towards the programme is enveloped by political discourses, which shift with the direction of Iran’s international relations and domestic politics. We distinguish two competing narratives – ‘revolutionary’ and ‘moderation’– and demonstrate how they define the opportunities and constraints of Iran’s military behaviour in different ways. Finally, we demonstrate a move towards a more confrontational approach, reflected in the consolidation of the ‘revolutionary’ narrative. This article contributes to a more fine-grained understanding of Iran’s policy towards its BMP, which remains central to Iran’s strategic culture.This study was conducted at the Research Centre in Political Science (UIDB/CPO/00758/2020), University of Minho/University of Evora, and supported by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) and the Portuguese Ministry of Education and Science through national funds.RoutledgeUniversidade do MinhoEslami, MohammadVieira, Alena20202020-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/1822/74710engMohammad Eslami & Alena Vysotskaya Guedes Vieira (2020) Iran’s strategic culture: the ‘revolutionary’ and ‘moderation’ narratives on the ballistic missile programme, Third World Quarterly, 42:2, 312-328, DOI: 10.1080/01436597.2020.18135620143-65971360-224110.1080/01436597.2020.1813562info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-21T12:38:07Zoai:repositorium.sdum.uminho.pt:1822/74710Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T19:34:30.093969Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
