This chapter begins by arguing that with the presidential electoral victory of Hojjat al-Islam Mohammad Khatami in May 1997, several prominent members within the semi-institutionalised network of think tanks and periodicals, the chief vehicle for the transmission, diffusion and reproduction of the religious intellectualist project, took the initiative to set up or edit national newspapers in order to reach a wider public and disseminate many of the theological and political insights of the preceding years in a more accessible and popular format. The issue of constitutionalism and constitutional reform is investigated through extended analysis and comparison of the political thought of President Mohammad Khatami and examines the synergy of post-revolutionary intellectualism and aspects of Khatami’s political programme, while also delineating the profound differences and heterogeneity which divided the proponents of political reform and development. It thus illustrates the very real heterogeneity of the reformist camp and the political repercussions of theoretical disagreements within it.
