Abstract
After giving a brief historical background of the Tobacco Movement and the Constitutional Revolution, the first chapter focuses on the intellectual, theoretical and social pretexts, forms, strategies and tactics of non-violent action in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Iran. The impact of these non-violent actions on nation- and state-building processes and how civil resistance influenced the struggle for Iranian independence are also discussed.
