By using the concept of guardianship, this subtle and original book provides unique insights into contemporary Iranian and Turkish politics. It reveals the logic but also the fragility of hybrid regimes that divide power and sovereignty between 'the people' and elite guardians tasked with preserving the polity's core values.--Dominic Lieven, Trinity College, Cambridge This thought-provoking book is a valuable scholarly and intellectual contribution to modern Turkey and Iran Studies as well as comparative political regime theories.--Murat Somer, Özyeğin University
