June 2009

Liechtenstein Institute on Self Determination, Princeton University

Abstract

A new report published by the Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination contains a series of recommendations related to Iran. The report, "Iran's Role and Power in the Region and the International System," outlines a series of recommendations in the areas of Iran's relations in its region, Iran's nuclear program and multilateral nuclear diplomacy, and Iran's relations with the EU and the US. The report notes that, "Time is working against all involved, for the passage of time increases the likelihood for radicalization," though "there is still a window of opportunity for a reasonable diplomatic dialogue."
