Join author Kian Tajbakhsh in a panel discussion about his most recent book, “Creating Local Democracy in Iran: State Building and the Politics of Decentralization.” With a combination of historical, political, and financial field research, it explores the multifaceted dimensions of local power and how various ideologically opposed actors shaped local government as an integral component of authoritarian state building.
