Episode Synopsis
“Foreign Policy Under the Ayatollahs” - Part 20 of the Roqe Media series, The Contemporary History of Iran. How are we to make sense of the way Iran has dealt with the world in the last 43 years? What has been the foreign policy approach between a stated mission of “non-alignment,” saber-rattling and uneven relations with the West, and an increasing turn towards the East? German-Iranian political scientist and Middle East expert, Dr. Ali Fathollah-Nejad, author of the new book, “Iran in an Emerging New World Order: From Ahmadinejad to Rouhani,” joins Jian Ghomeshi from Berlin for a wide-ranging conversation about Iranian foreign policy since the revolution of 1979 and its shifts, contradictions and continuities.
