«مدرن شدن» بدون «سکولار بودن»

امروزه «مدرن شدن» مهمترين مسئلهء روز جوامع است

چگونگی «مدرن شدن» بدون «سکولار بودن» جراحی سکولاريسم و خارج کردن آن از بدن مدرنيته به منکران ضرورت جدائی مذهب از حکومت کمک می کند تا بتوانند توضيح دهند که نه تنها جوامع دارای حکومت های مذهبی دارای قابليت مدرن شدن هستند بلکه اساساً، با توجه به «رستاخيز مذهبی» کنونی و رفتن جوامع بشری به سوی دوران جديدی از گرايشات مذهبی، خود مذهب می تواند در مدرن سازی جوامع نقش بازی کند و بخصوص جوامع کهن و سنت زده را کمک نمايد تا عقب ماندگی های خود را مرتفع ساخته و راحت تر مدرن شوند.>>>

Democratization process in Iran

What is the Iran Democracy Project at the Hoover Institution?

07-Feb-2008 (45 comments)
Michael McFaul, a professor of political science at Stanford University, is one of the directors of the Iran Democracy Project (IDP) at the Hoover Institute, along with Abbas Milani and Larry Diamond. “The Iran Democracy Project at the Hoover Institution was created to understand the process and prospects for democracy in Iran and the rest of the Middle East. The central goal is to help the West understand the complexities of the Muslim world, and to map out possible trajectories for transitions to democracy and free markets in the Middle East, beginning with Iran. The project also seeks to identify, analyze, and offer policy options on the existing obstacles to democratic transition and ways to remove them and to ensure that policy makers in Washington receive advice that is non-partisan and reliable.”>>>

STORY

Boy in Prison

The craziest part of the whole adventure

07-Feb-2008 (2 comments)
What an adventure, from waking up in the morning to going to bed at night, a life spent behind enemy lines, you might say, but if he did, he would say it with such a smile as to disarm any enemy, as to leave them intact but thinking, introducing them to their own country, already having accepted that they are the last to know, that they are the last to know about a prison cell in his country, about a prison cell in all the countries like his. It was all an adventure, because no place where he could find himself was any place he would've guessed as a boy in prison. I'm here on the ground with you, he could say to anybody, but I'm up in the sky too. On the ground, he could lose them, but from up in the sky, he could see them walking home, going to their own bed at night>>>

ELECTIONS

Who lies the most?

US democracy vs Iranian democracy

07-Feb-2008 (8 comments)
Just a few days ago I was just thinking about the current electoral process that is undergoing in the US, and comparing it to Iran. I was comparing Americans to Iranians. America is the oldest ongoing (continuous)democracy (Britain is a 'democratic' Monarchy if we may say so) and they are some of the most prepared peoples in democratic affairs. But it is so amazing that the average American voter (that means the vast majority) is not much different an idiot than the average Iranian voter. While the Iranian voter votes for an Islamist hypocrite who pretty much says nothing while lying about the most basic realities of the world, the American voter votes for a Christian who is just a bit more careful in his lies (because of the continuous harsh scrutiny by opposing media channels), though still pretty much saying nothing!>>>

Debate on how to approach Iran

07-Feb-2008 (3 comments)
Yassamine Mather of Hands Off the People of Iran faced pro-war journalist Nick Cohen of The Observer in one of the regular studio talks organised by London’s Soho Theatre. Introducing Cohen to a packed audience, the chair, Martin Woollacott (ex-Guardian foreign correspondent), called him a “brave” but “lonely” voice on the left. A man who has doggedly stuck to his pro-interventionist stance despite the nightmare that has unfolded in Iraq. Indeed, as Woollecott correctly added, Cohen clearly thought the best form of defence was attack and had expanded his position into a general critique of the “western left’s sloppy softness - and even romanticisation - of fundamentalism”. >>>
