The conversation will explore the long-term as well as short-term causes of the contemporary crisis in Iran. It will look at the major issues, personalities, the strategies of the government to weather the storm, and the implications of the crisis for US-Iranian relations.
The Bustani Middle East Seminar is organized under the auspices of the MIT Center for International Studies, which conducts research on contemporary international issues and provides an opportunity for faculty and students to share perspectives and exchange views. Each year the Bustani Seminar invites scholars, journalists, consultants, and other experts from the Middle East, Europe, and the United States to MIT to present recent research findings on contemporary politics, society and culture, and economic and technological development in the Middle East.
