Reza Pahlavi

last crown prince of Afghanistan (born 1960)

Reza Pahlavi belongs to the record of public life as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Reza Pahlavi as Crown prince of Iran (born 1960).

Reza Pahlavi was born at Tehran in 1960. His recorded nationality is Pahlavi Iran. He was educated at University of Southern California and Williams College.

Modern careers are conducted in public and at speed, with reputations formed and revised far faster than the work itself changes.

The record gives his occupations as politician, human rights defender and aircraft pilot.

His principal work is Winds of Change: The Future of Democracy in Iran. Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.

His recorded fields of work are politician and politics.

The honours are a fair index of how the work was received - Knight Grand Cross with Collar of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic (1974) and Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour.

That the work was done from Pahlavi Iran matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Reza Pahlavi is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
