Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Hosts

This expert-moderated seminar will examine the emergence of modern Iran against the backdrop of Iran’s political, social and diplomatic history. From the discovery and politics of oil, to the transition from secular society to the Islamic Republic, to the rise and fall of Iranian-American nuclear diplomacy, moderators Roham Alvandi and Suzanne Maloney will elucidate pivotal moments and themes in modern Iranian history through present day. What must we understand about the people, identity, government, and geopolitics of Iran to build a successful foreign policy in the years ahead?

Moderated by:
