Beyond Decapitation: Dismantling the IRGC Shadow State and Rebuilding Iran

This book maps the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' deeply entrenched economic empire—a rhizomatic system of shadow finance, coercion, and institutional capture that regenerates after every shock, sanction, or leadership change. Moving beyond diagnosis, it offers a comprehensive, people-first blueprint for dismantling the IRGC's regeneration capacity and constructing a Renewal State built on transparent governance, lawful markets, mass job creation, and Iran's reintegration into the global community as a peaceful partner.
