[URPE] URPE's "Political Economy of the Iran Crisis" web page

[Ruth Indeck]

Last spring URPE sponsored a panel called "Oil, Nukes, Mullahs, 
Democracy and U.S. Hegemony: The Political Economy of Iran" at the 2006 
Left Forum, and another panel of the same name at the Brecht Forum, both 
in NYC. The 2006LF panel was videotaped, and both panels were 
audiotaped. The audiotapes have been used to produce radio programs on 
WBAI. The panels led to various articles in magazines and newspapers. 
These panels also led to the creation of a web page on URPE's website:

http://urpe.org/Iran_Crisis.htm

The relationship between the US and Iran is still in crisis, and the web 
page has received many new additions since it was first announced early 
in the summer.

The page contains articles, books, radio shows, a video and 
organizations, with links wherever possible. You can play or download 
the radio shows and excerpts from panels, and you can order the video.

Speakers and writers featured on this page include Ervand Abrahamian, 
Cyrus Bina, Faramarz Farbod, Reza Ghorashi, Ismael Hossein-zadeh, Leili 
Kashani, Michael Klare, Fatemeh Moghadam, Kamran Nayeri, Tom O'Donnell, 
Hamideh Sedghi and Behzad Yaghmaian. The is also a link to the RRPE page 
on Sage's website -- you can look up references to articles on Iran that 
have been published in the "Review of Radical Political Economics," 
URPE's journal, over the years.

All opinions expressed in the talks, articles and books on the web page 
are those of the authors and do not represent positions of URPE as an 
organization. There is also a great variety of opinion among the authors 
listed on this page.
