Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
The Ramadan War: From Territorial Security to Planetary Resistance by Seyed Javad Miri offers a comprehensive sociological and theoretical re-examination of Iran's geopolitical, historical, and civilizational position within the contemporary global order. Rooted in Iran's historical tradition of power, bureaucratic continuity, and the interplay between wisdom (hekmat) and governance from the Safavid era to Nāder Shāh, the book elevates the concept of resistance from mere territorial border defense to a broader, planetary horizon. The work analyzes the internal social contexts of domestic protests (such as the Dey protests) alongside the mechanics of hybrid warfare and perception management. On the global stage, it critiques standard deterrence doctrines and global capitalism, carefully distinguishes Judaism from Zionism, and articulates the transformation of the "Axis of Resistance" from a strategic network into a consolidated civilizational block. Ultimately, the book exposes the dynamics of a "planetary dictatorship" and proposes epistemic emancipation (decoloniality) and the reconstruction of human subjectivity as essential pathways for civilizational resilience. By bridging domestic social agency, economic structure, and asymmetric balance of power, Miri provides a rigorous framework for understanding Iran's strategic autonomy and civilizational role in an evolving multipolar world.
