May 19, 2011

Ellen Laipson contributes analysis on "The Arab Spring's Impact on U.S.-Iran Rivalry," for "The Iran Primer," a joint product of the United States Institute of Peace and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

"The Iran Primer" brings together 50 top experts-both Western and Iranian-to offer comprehensive but concise overviews of Iran's politics, economy, military, foreign policy, and nuclear program.  It is an unprecedented project by 50 of the world's top scholars on Iran representing some 20 foreign policy think tanks, eight universities, and senior foreign policy officials from six U.S. administrations. The book has no single political perspective or agenda, as the authors approach the subjects with a wide range of views.
