Module 05 - Iranian and Iraqi International Affairs The state of Iran is complex and hard to understand especially if you are not from Iran. For the West, the Iranian revolution is still tied tightly to the seizure of the American Embassy and Americans in Tehran, but much political change is going on in Iran even while the old revolutionaries cling to power. It is important to study these contemporary events; it is equally important to try to grasp Iranian theocracy and Khomeini's theocratic model. Islam itself is diverse and one should never generalize about what it is like. For instance, why did Iran and Iraq, both Muslim countries, fight a bitter war for so many years? And, if Sunnis and Shiites are expected to work together in a new Iraqi government, why isn't that an issue in Iran? Other questions: What are the Islamic charitable foundations and why do they control so much economic activity? Why do some say they weaken the government? How can state capitalism include such a powerful privately owned small business sector? While studying Iran, prepare to make comparisons with other Third World countries. There are useful political-economic parallels with Nigeria to examine, patron-client systems to compare with Mexico, difficulties liberalizing the economy on a par with India's difficulties. As much as Iranians and Iraqis have their unique identities and histories, there are similar patterns of authoritarian rule and secular-religious divides in the two countries. In the evolving politics of a new Iraqi state, it seems that attempts to gain power have more often been made with bombs than guns. Saddam Hussein especially seemed to assert his power through force. And that pattern continues. But behind the scenes that journalists can see, from the safety of the Green Zone or the heavily guarded hotels, other kinds of politics have been going on. What you can work hard to see, amidst the carnage left by partisan bombers, is the truth and reality behind the political actors, the political ideas, and the political methods that form the basis for news coming out of Iraq. When you studied conflict in China, you probably recognized factional politics within the Communist Party. Is it really outlandish to suggest that there are politics within the Iraqi state? Are there parallels between Iraqi and Iranian politics? Current News As always, be sure to catch up on today's news of this module's country - Iraq. Check any websites recommended in your textbook.

Module 05 Discussion - Compare and Contrast Authors of Indigenous World Literature Select two authors from the indigenous readings to compare and contrast. You may want to select one from each country and compare and contrast the Native American experience with that of the Aboriginal Australian experience. • • • • • • What did the two populations have in common? How were their experiences different? How did the authors represent their time period and their culture? How did they represent mainstream society vs. the indigenous people? What are common traits in both worlds? How are myths and legends utilized by both indigenous populations? In your initial post, submit your comparison by writing a full paragraph on each story or author you are examining. (As a reminder, a full paragraph consists of 5-8 sentences). Feel free to utilize outside resources for support to your posts, and be sure to acknowledge your sources. In your responses to peers, it is important to add to the ideas presented by your peers. If you wrote about the same story, then add how you felt about it in comparison to your peer. • • Did you find any additional information that helped you understand either the period or the struggles of the characters in your chosen work? If you wrote about a different story, then can you suggest some ideas for your classmate to understand the story or stories further?

It can be asserted that the American and the Australian indigenous people lived in a
variety of different environments where they developed their culture. The Aboriginal
Australians and the Native Americans had various similarities and differences especially on
their evolution from the free tribe status (Ford, 2010). I would like to compare and contrast
the Yirrkala people of the Aboriginal Australians and those of Native America. The Yirrkala
people and the Native American had in common on the way they were treated with their
schooling and land dispossession just like how the Yirrkala people "protested the
government's secrecy and failure" to consult the people of Yirrkala on leasing the people land
to the bauxite...
