About this video
This video is from the conversation-based series 'Mahestan,' within the framework of the Enduring Iran programs, and features Mehrzad Boroujerdi, Professor of Political Science at the Missouri University of Science and Technology. The program was recorded in two sessions on August 8 and 11, 2022, and is dedicated to some of the main questions of the Enduring Iran series.
The focus of this conversation is four fundamental questions about Iran: What is Iran? What is the state of Iran? What factors have led to this state? And how can this state be improved? In this program, the first two questions are addressed, and the continuation of the discussion regarding the factors shaping Iran's condition and the ways to improve it has been postponed to another occasion.
The importance of this conversation lies in its examination of the issue of Iran not merely from the angle of daily events, but within a more analytical and historical horizon. Drawing on his knowledge of political science and contemporary Iranian studies, Boroujerdi helps in understanding Iran's political identity, the current state of society and government, and the difficulties of analyzing the country's future.
This video is suitable for those interested in Iran, political science, contemporary history, political sociology, public policy, and theoretical discussions about Iran's future.
