İran’ın Afrika Politikası ve Karşılaşılan Zorluklar: Ahmedinejad Dönemi, 2005-2013
Journal Title: İran Çalışmaları Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper deals with Iran’s foreign policy towards Africa at specific period, namely the period during the tenure of president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad between 2005 and 2013. Iran’s foreign policy towards Africa was predicated on economic and technological cooperation, exploitation of natural resources, and garnering African support at United Nations on key issues of particular interest to Iran at that period. In doing so, the paper addresses the issue of Iran’s attempts at breaking into the sub-Saharan markets and argues about the reasoning behind Iranian foreign policy challenges, while at the same time confronting its Western and non-Western rivals locally and globally, who were already well established politically and economically in the continent. With the overthrow of the Pahlavi monarchy in Iran in 1979, it became increasingly difficult for Iran to do business with Western countries due to American pressure towards Iran. At the same time, the US used its considerable economic and political clouts in Africa to frustrate Iranian attempts at penetrating Africa.
