The Difficulties of Persian Scientific Publication and Our Responses

The anti-globalization movement of the 2000s brought about a global discussion of the environment through the lens of climate justice (Aguiton and Cabioc’h 2010). Currents of thought such as ecofeminism, concepts such as intersectionality, or environmental racism are all indications of a shared sense that reflecting on ecological crises and relations of domination is now a compelling necessity.

Iran: The Looking East Strategy and the Turn of the Century

The world is on the cusp of a new order at the turn of the century. Iran may fall prey to this shift. The order that emerged in the 1980s as a result of globalization and the disintegration of the Eastern Bloc is coming to an end. As a result of the invasion of dictatorships and populism against liberal democracy and Russia’s military action against Ukraine, the globe is currently divided along two axes: dictatorship and liberal democracy.

Historical Analysis of Iran’s Foreign Policy and Its Main Approaches During the 14th Century(sh)

Defining the Criteria for Recognition of Sexism in Textbooks

The aim to propagate the totalitarian Islamic ideology by emphasizing the “basic distinction between men and women” is one of the features of the Islamic Republic’s educational system after the revolution of 1979. This view is founded in both the traditional culture and intellectual beliefs of Islamists, who, based on the doctrine of velayat al-faqih, perceive their legitimacy to be based on a pyramid of power in which God reigns over servants, jurists rule over imitators, and males dominate over women.

Education in the Last Century in Iran
