Amirpasha Tavakkoli

Amirpasha Tavakkoli is an Iranian political scientist who, along with philosopher Stéphanie Roza, recently published the essay "Lumières et anti-Lumières en Iran (PUF)." This work analyzes the complex relationship between Iranians, modernity, and the West. He is newsworthy due to the publication of this book, which examines the secularization of Iran and argues that political Islam has failed. The book's release coincides with a period of heightened international attention on Iran, including discussions of ceasefires and the legacy of Donald Trump's policies towards the country. Tavakkoli's expertise provides valuable insight into the internal dynamics of Iranian society and its evolving relationship with global powers, making his analysis relevant to understanding current geopolitical tensions.
