| Abstract: | The inter-relationships between Islamic resurgence and the decline of communism are identified through a wide-ranging geopolitical analysis. The fall of the Afghan regime, Soviet intervention and subsequent withdrawal, the fall of the Shah of Iran and USA relations with Iran - all in the context of changing East-West relations - are analysed to assess Islamic, communist and global political futures. Two normative revolutionary processes are seen as underpinning these developments - the de-Leninization of Marxism and the deroyalization of Islam. |
