The Geopolitics of Iran’s Nuclear Program by Vijay Prashad

Tuesday, Mar 17, 2015
12:00pm -> 1:30pm
American University of Beirut (AUB)

The Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs (IFI) cordially invites you to an upcoming lecture on “The Geopolitics of Iran’s Nuclear Program” by Vijay Prashad, IFI Senior Research Fellow.

Iran’s nuclear program is sixty years old, yet the crisis of the program only opens up after 2003. The legal objections to the programs are vitiated by the example of India, which has – despite illegality – been welcomed among the nuclear nations. The problem is political. This is precisely what the talk will explore. It will build upon the IFI Working Paper entitled “India’s Iran Policy”.

Vijay Prashad is a Non-Resident Senior Research Fellow at IFI. He is also the George and Martha Kellner Chair of South Asian History and Professor of International Studies at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. Prashad previously held the Edward Said chair at AUB.
