Making sense of Politics in Iran
Touching upon Year 3’s module at Birkbeck ‘Politics and the Middle East’, this engaging one-hour session with Dr Matthijs Van Den Bos explores how regime persists through strong control structures but faces growing economic, political, and social pressures, with uncertain prospects for democratic change.
Iran is once again in great turmoil and as of this writing in late March 2026, the survival or the regime is in serious question. How have political scientists looked at the regime’s resilience and weaknesses, the opposition to it domestically and abroad, and the prospects for democratic transformation?"
