Democratic Transition
Discussion of transitional models, interim arrangements, legitimacy, sequencing and the safe transfer of power. This area is for serious discussion of how Iran could move towards democracy without chaos or renewed authoritarianism.
Iranian Parliament (Majlis), Tehran, 1906.
The Iranian Parliament in 1906 represents a pivotal constitutional aspiration: public authority subject to law and representative institutions. The image is important because it locates democratic transition within Iran's own history. The Round Table need not prescribe the final constitutional form; it can help Iranians examine how legitimate authority might again be built and transferred peacefully.
