UP TO THE MINUTE : Iran: Changing Perspectives
This panel will offer the opportunity to discuss the recent unrest in Iran from a range of perspectives rooted in various socio-economic and political fields. In order to better understand the situation, scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds will examine the social, economic, political, regional and international implications of the protests and will attempt to explain the causes, the temporality and extent. The discussion will also consider the way different layers of the political establishment responded to them and whether or not they will have any mid- and long-term local, regional and international repercussions.
