Abstract:
This article presents some outcomes of the expert session “The future of the Islamic Republic of Iran” which was held on 2 July 2009. The session was an attempt to create an opportunity for experts on the subject of Iran to get together and try to make sense of the situation and the possible outcomes. This article is part of a series of reflections on the recent developments in Iran by researchers and practitioners linked to the Knowledge Programme on Civil Society in West Asia. This is a joint initiative by Hivos and the University of Amsterdam with the purpose of generating and integrating knowledge on the roles and opportunities for civil society actors in democratization processes in politically challenging environments. This programme integrates academic knowledge and practitioner’s knowledge from around the world to develop new insights and strategies on how civil society actors in Iran and Syria can contribute to various processes of democratization and how international actors can support this.
