Abstract:
At the end of 2009 the authors of this paper initiated a research project entitled Comparing Authoritarianisms: Governance and Regime Resilience in Syria and Iran. This research project is part of the Knowledge Programme Civil Society in West Asia, a joint initiative of the University of Amsterdam and Hivos. This paper draws on the project’s main findings to list some key parameters for a rethinking of democracy and reform promotion in this part of the region.
