Iran Protests: Will the collapsing economy topple the regime?
Hannes Swoboda in conversation with Mahdi Ghodsi. The protests in Iran are driven by severe economic hardship, with high inflation and unemployment fueling widespread discontent. The interview examines the impact of sanctions, deep-seated mismanagement, and the economic power of the Revolutionary Guard. It also discusses long-term economic decline, growing environmental pressure, and the question of whether economic collapse could lead to political change.
The conference “30 Years After Dayton: Reimagining Peacebuilding Today”, held on 3 December 2025 in Vienna, brought together policymakers, researchers, civil society actors, and young leaders to reflect on these issues. Building on the initiative “Young Generation for the New Western Balkans”, the event combined closed workshops under the Chatham House Rule with a public panel discussion.
