Summary/Abstract |
The end of the 19th century, Lord Curzon, then the British Viceroy of India, described Iran and its neighboring Arab countries as “pieces on a chessboard upon which is being played out a game for the domination of the world.” Fast-forward to the 21st century and not much has changed, as the ongoing nuclear negotiations between Iran and the West have started to show implications well beyond the Middle East peacemaking process, even spilling over into the European Union’s strategic decisions on how to consciously uncouple from Russia’s gas supply monopoly. So far, while Iran reached an interim one year deal with the West in early 2013 to freeze all nuclear activities on the condition of being provided with a temporary easing of some sanctions, the pace of progress remains slow. For now, the West is failing to propose an attractive policy that would alter the intransigent stand of the Iranians.

Summary/Abstract |
Since I'm kicking things off, I thought I'd set the context for the nuclear deal itself, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA. I'll then offer my views about implications for the region as well.

Summary/Abstract |
Iran’s domestic politics and power structure have been a source of puzzlement and conjecture since the country’s 1979 revolution, which toppled a U.S. ally and brought the Islamic Republic to power. This bewilderment intensified during the nuclear negotiations between six world powers collectively known as the P5+1 (China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and Tehran.

Summary/Abstract |
Few other international security issues have attracted debates and discussions at the global level the way the US-North Korea nuclear negotiations have in recent times. Particularly, with the beginning of the Trump administration, the US approach to the North Korean nuclear issue and Washington’s intention to engage with Pyongyang has certainly grabbed the limelight in the international security environment.
