مناظره هاشم آقاجری و علیرضا شجاعی‌زند | از انقلاب ۵۷ تا دموکراسی - بخش اول

Description:

In the first part of the debate, Hashem Aqajari and Alireza Shojaizand discuss the legacy of the 1979 revolution, the challenges of establishing democracy in Iran, and the role of the Islamic Republic’s political system. Aqajari argues that the 46‑year experience of the Islamic Republic shows that a system based on the principle of guardianship cannot be made democratic, while Shojaizand compares Iran’s constitutional framework to those of other democracies, questioning whether periodic constitutional revisions can truly reflect popular will. The discussion highlights the tension between religious authority and democratic aspirations in contemporary Iran.
