"This study will establish and illustrate the co-variation between the US stigmatization of Iran and the radicalization of Iran's internal narratives and foreign policy. The first part will outline the historical variations in Iranian foreign policy and its approach to international politics. In particular, it will argue that nuclear policy and rhetoric has been used to construct a positive self-image of an internationally isolated Iran. The second part will show that these chronological variations in internal Iranian narratives and foreign policy approaches are linked to the US and European framing of Iran, arguing that it is Iran's stigmatization as a 'rogue state' which has contributed to the rise of narcissistic self-descriptions that depict Western international powers as evil."--Summary.
