Iran Electoral Archive (Scuola Superiore S.Anna)

From the website: http://www.sssup.it/context_eng.jsp?ID_LINK=7928&area=47&lang=UK


The Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna has been involved in activities related to election assistance and monitoring, human rights, development, and post-conflict rehabilitation for several years. In this framework, an International Research Laboratory on Conflict, Development and Global Politics has been recently inaugurated with the aim of promoting research in the fields of conflict prevention and management, human rights, election related issues, post-war reconstruction and sustainable development.
The Scuola has an active engagement with the monitoring of national and local elections, as demonstrated by the Baladiyahs Governance Monitoring Project in Algeria and the Technical Assistance Programme for the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq: all these activities aim to promote a better understanding of the political and technical aspects related to the elections in various parts of the world.

In this framework, the Iran Electoral Archive (IEAr) has been launched by the Scuola as a concrete answer to the scarcity of available information and to the controversial debate growing around the Iran electoral process.
The IEAr is a comprehensive source of information including laws, high quality documents, and academic articles on Iranian Elections. The key objective of the IEAr is to provide a large variety of stakeholders with a comprehensive and impartial look at the Iranian electoral process.
The IEAr pursues its objectives inspired by the principles of impartiality and independence. For these reasons, all the documents included in the Archive have been selected by a team of highly qualified and independent researchers within and outside the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna with an interest in Iran and electoral processes and has been approved by an independent external body.
In the case you find that the documents included in the Archive do not respect these principles and the plurality of points of view involved in the Iranian election process, please let us know your suggestions and claims by contacting us at the iear@sssup.it
The IEAr is structured around thirteen interlinked topics. Each section is comprised of relevant documents which provide a detailed analysis of current electoral practices in Iran.
