US-IRAN (ایران - آمریکا - دمکراسی)

خانه ایران تقدیم میکند: (سخنرانی بفارسی)Persia House of Michigan Presents:US-IRAN (ایران - آمریکا - دمکراسی)The Role of the United States in Iranian Transition to DemocracyDr. Hooshang Amirahmadi - دکتر هوشنگ امیراحمدی Professor and Director of the Center for Middle East Studies, Rutgers UniversitySunday, May 22, 2005, 3:30 – 5:30 pm at Persian SchoolIran faces two serious challenges in the immediate future: democratization of domestic political economy and normalization of relations with the United States. Dr. Amirahmadi argues that the two challenges are interrelated and that the democratization will depend on the normalization. Specifically, unless and until US-Iran relations are normalized, Iran cannot be democratized. However, normalization alone cannot lead to democratization in Iran. In other words, normalization is a necessary condition but nor a sufficient condition. Among other conditions, three are the most important: reformation of Islam, diversification of the petroleum economy, and the formation of a coalition government among the upper middle and lower classes, based on their corresponding needs for economic growth, political development, and social justice.
