Making Sense of Iran’s Policies
How should we understand the Islamic Republic of Iran? How does the enigmatic political system look like?
Has the nuclear deal brought only good results or is there a downside too? Will the moderate President Rouhani be elected in next year’s elections and who are the possible successors of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei? How to understand the alliance between Iran and the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad? Is the dominant ‘Sunni-Shia’ perspective really useful when trying to understand ongoing regional conflicts and ‘proxy wars’? Paul Aarts will help us understanding this Iran better by going into questions like these tonight.
