Another special edition of Roqe during the current uprising in Iran, this time focusing on the infuriating inattention of Western leaders, corporations, and media while the regime in Iran continues its brutal crackdown on youthful protestors. Jian is joined by prominent voices from across the Iranian Diaspora, including: Dr. Mehrzad Boroujerdi in Los Angeles Nazenin Ansari in London, UK Arash Sobhani in New York, Armin Amiri in Los Angeles Shirin Nasseri in London, UK. Plus, the Roqe on-air team reflects on the global day of action that took place at the weekend with various demonstrations organized globally in solidarity with Iranians inside Iran, the meager efforts of Western leaders when it comes to human rights in Iran, a viral song by Shervin and the unexpected (albeit spotty) unity of the diaspora.

With the entire world caught up in the mystery, madness and machinations of the American presidential election this week, we look at how this election has been seen by Iranians and the implications for people of Iranian descent in the United States, the diaspora, and inside Iran. Internationally recognized author and academic Dr Mehrzad Boroujerdi and broadcaster and political analyst Reza Goharzad join Jian to discuss. Plus the Roqe on-air team convenes on voting choices, cuisine, and critical letters.

Roqe 1.7 - an interview with Dr. Mehrzad Boroujerdi in Virginia.

Tarihçi Ayşe Hür, bu haftaki programında, Doğu (Orient, Şark) ve Batı (Occident, Garp) ayrımının öteki tarihine bakıyor. Ayşe Hür: ''Samuel Huntington’ın “Medeniyetler Çatışması” “kendi kendi gerçekleştiren kötü bir kehanet” mi idi, yoksa Huntington dünyadaki doğal gidişatı, en erken gören düşünür müydü? Doğu (Orient, Şark) ve Batı (Occident, Garp) ayrımının kökeni MÖ 12. Yüzyıl’da gerçekleştiği rivayet olunan Troyalılarla Akhalar arasındaki savaşa kadar götürülür. Filistin kökenli ABD’li düşünür Edward Said’e göre şarkiyatçılık bir bilgi-iktidar ilişkisiydi ve bu ilişki ve bu ilişkiyi kuran söylem tek yönlü, tutarlı ve sürekliydi. Partha Chatterjee’ye göre garbiyatçılık “Şark” diye tanımlanan bölgenin entelektüellerinin “Garb”ı algılama tarzı olan “tersine şarkiyatçılık’ diye nitelenebilir. Mehrzad Boroujerdi, garbiyatçılığın tanım icabı İslamcı düşüncelerin harcında bulunduğunu ileri sürer. Amin Maalouf, Arapların Gözüyle Haçlı Seferleri adlı eserinde Arapların, bütün Haçlı Seferleri boyunca, Batı’dan gelen yeni fikirlere direndiklerini söyler.''

The way Iranians interact with their government is changing. With information more readily available through the internet, it is easier for citizens to organize protests but also to make an impact without leaving home. Since the Iranian Green Movement in 2009, the political elite has changed dramatically, but a small, stagnant group at the top still holds the most influence. Mehdi Yahyanejad, a senior researcher in computer science at USC, and Mehrzad Boroujerdi, a professor of political science at Syracuse University, spoke to FSI Director Michael McFaul about how Iran's youth are changing the way the country interacts with its politicians. They visited Stanford to speak at a conference about whether politics and culture are changing in Iran, co-hosted by FSI and and the Hamid and Christina Moghadam Program in Iranian Studies.

Venezuela's official gazette published a decree this week signed by ailing President Hugo Chavez. It's the first time the president's signature has appeared in the gazette since his latest cancer-related surgery, indicating he could be getting better. The decree issued Tuesday and published Wednesday names former vice president Elias Jaua Milano as Venezuela's new foreign minister. Chavez has not made any public comments since his fourth operation in Cuba last month. Vice President Nicolas Maduro says Chavez asked questions when he visited him. Maduro expressed gratitude to Chavez's medical team during a televised meeting in Caracas on Tuesday morning. Maduro says that Chavez is, in his words, "climbing the hill, he's advancing." Chavez has been fighting an unspecified type of pelvic cancer. University of Oklahoma comparative political scientist Charles Kenney is an expert on Latin American governments and democratization in the region. He says Chavez's silence has fed speculation about his condition. "We have limited information," Kenney said. "We know he had surgery on December 11. He has not been seen since before then. The fact is that we have no idea whether he's alive, if he's in a coma, if he has a lung infection. We have no idea." Shifting to Iran, on Wednesday President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the country must move away from dependence on oil revenue to overcome Western sanctions that have slowed the economy and disrupted foreign trade. Political scientist Mehrzad Boroujerdi returns to World Views to discuss the domestic situation in Iran. He says even though those sanctions impoverish the middle class and create discontent, the regime isn't as effective as it once was. "Because the government has been utilizing this discourse of anti-Americanism for the last 30 years, they have been getting a lot of mileage out of that," Boroujerdi said. "This type of discourse no longer resonates with the average Iranian citizen." Boroujerdi founded and leads the Middle East Studies Program at Syracuse University, where he also co-founded their Religion, Media, and International Relations Program.
