خیزش در ایران

 خیزش ایران، عنوان کتابی است که امین صیقل در آگوست سال‌ ۲۰۱۸ نوشته است. این کتاب با شرح مختصری از قیام دی‌ماه ۱۳۹۶ در پایتخت و همچنین برخی دیگر از شهرهای ایران آغاز می‌شود. از آنجایی که دونالد ترامپ در آن زمان رئیس جمهور آمریکا بود، از این قیام استقبال کرد و حمایت کامل ایالات متحده را اعلام کرد. اگرچه ترامپ جز ادعای حمایت و فقط با سخن گفتن در مورد آن کار دیگری انجام نداد، نماینده ایران در سازمان ملل متحد او را محکوم کرد و  حمایت لفظی او را دخالت در امور داخلی ایران خواند. این امر بهانه خوبی به دولت ایران داد تا با نامیدن آن به عنوان یک قیام خارجی، تظاهرات را سرکوب کند.ا

Iran Rising

Iran Rising is a book authored by Amin Saikal in August 2018. The book commences by citing a brief description of the uprising of December 2017 in the capital, as well as some other cities of Iran. As Donald Trump was the US president at the time, he welcomed the uprising and stated full support of the United States. Although Trump did not do anything else besides his gesture of support, the representative of Iran in the United Nations condemned him and called it an interference in Iranian domestic issues. This gave the government of Iran a good excuse to crush the demonstrations by calling it a foreign-led uprising.

Institutions, private and public, wield immense power over the lives of people in and out of the U.S. Thus, people’s organized actions to change institutions are by definition David and Goliath-like power struggles. For America, that holds true in the main because the political donor class uses its deep pockets to influence the three branches of  government. Voters lack such influence.

 

A Deceptive Joy in Geneva over U.S. China Trade Talks

May 16, 2025

Daniel Warner

There is joy in diplomatic Geneva. The neutral, good offices convenor of Reagan-Gorbachev and Putin–Biden summits is back in the headlines with trade talks between China and the United States. “China–U.S. tariff talks place Swiss diplomacy on centre stage” boasted a local website. But wait, isn’t the trade war between the United States and China a clear violation of international norms codified at the World Trade Organization (WTO)? Is the euphoria over the possibility of averting a global trade war and recession actually undermining internationally accepted principles and institutions of multilateralism such as the WTO based in Geneva?
