Description: Speaker: Pejman Abdolmohammadi, LSE Middle East Centre Chair: Roham Alvandi, LSE In the last three years, the main focus of the international community and the media dealing with Iran has been the nuclear issue and Iranian foreign policy. Despite the relevance of these two elements, Pejman Abdolmohammadi argues that there is another paramount aspect which, in the next two decades, could have a crucial influence over the future of Iran. This new aspect is related to Iranian civil society and its ongoing radical change and is defined by Abdolmohammadi as the “Iranian Renaissance”. Recorded on 1 December 2015.
