The US / Iran Conflict: Imperialism, Hegemony and Intervention


The Department of Politics and International Relations will host a seminar jointly organised by the International Development Forum and International Development Society on the US / Iran conflict: imperialism, hegemony and intervention

Abstract
The crisis of Iran and the West, especially the US has reached a new climax: a threat of attack on Iran from NATO, the US and Israel are reminiscent of the 2003 Iraqi invasion. Although Iran denies that they are processing nuclear weapons, the West has refused to believe Iran’s claim and continues to impose sanctions on Iran. This meeting will assess the root causes of the conflict, the role played by the US in the region and the implications of the conflict in the region and beyond. 

Speakers
Professor David Chandler: 
Dr Farhang Morady
Dr Sahar Taghdisi Rad

Monday 26th of March 2012, 17:30, Board Room, 309 Regent Street
