“…Since the economic pressure imposed by the United States, the oil exports of Iran decline. This Iranian government loses 50-60 % of its revenues (Monshipouri & Dorraj, 2013) and this severely affect the income of all income groups of household (Farzanegan, Mohammadikhabbazan, & Sadeghi, 2015).…”

This paper presents an argument to call for more focus in food technology innovation in food policy. Failed food policy had bring devastated results. Some examples of failed food policy can be seen through three famine cases (Ireland, India and North Korea) discussed here that occurs throughout the 20th century. However, there are some themes from the previous failed policy are still implemented in current food policy. The similar themes are green revolution, sustainable intensification, dependency on importation and nutritional well-being. This paper also discuss the need to emphasize the researches on available resources to create novel food products, which is a gap on various food policies.

“…Despite the nuclear issue being integral to the antagonism between Iran and Israel, Rouhani endeavoured to set a new tone. He sent Rosh Hashanah greetings through Twitter to the world’s Jewish communities (Monshipouri and Dorraj, 2013: 133) and ‘condemned the “crime” of mass killings of Jews by the Nazis’ in an interview with CNN (Monshipouri and Dorraj, 2013: 133; Rouhani, [1392] 2013c). Despite the clear departure from Ahmadinejad’s presidency, the same equivalential chains associated with Palestine continue to be articulated through Rouhani’s populist discourse.…”

This article contends that the international is integral to populism. Thus, it calls for populism scholarship to embrace the interconnectivity between the domestic/internal and international/external. By borrowing from Global Historical Sociology, Global International Relations and Ernesto Laclau’s notion of populist discourse, the article puts forward a new conceptual framework for the study of populism that bridges the gap between Comparative Politics and International Relations. It shows how populist discourse simultaneously constructs several aspects of the social world: the actor who is articulating it and its relationship with its own population, that actor’s relationship with others in the international system, and global order. To illustrate its case, it examines populist discourses of Islamic Republic of Iran elites. Their discourses articulate the need to maintain the Islamic Republic’s legitimacy and populist credentials inside and outside Iran, delegitimise Israel, and construct global order. These discourses are grounded in a historical trajectory: the 1979 Revolution.

“…Devarajan and Mottaghi () note that the economy of Iran has experienced negative growth rates of −3.0% and −2.1% for 2012 and 2013, respectively. Since the tightening of energy and financial sanctions against Iran in 2012, the Iranian currency (Rial) lost more than 80% of its exchange value (Monshipouri & Dorraj, ). But it is difficult to attribute the effects on macroeconomic variables such as inflation and growth rates to one policy (international sanctions) or the other (food and energy subsidy reform) since both occurred over the same period and both represented large economic shocks to the Iranian economy.…”

We detail recent international sanctions against the Iranian economy and its government imposed by a subset of developed countries. The effects of these sanctions on the Iranian economy in general and upon upper and lower‐income rural and urban Iranian households, as well as the Iranian government, are modelled using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model. We supplement the Global Trade Analysis Project 8 data set using income and expenditure shares from the Urban and Rural Household Income and Expenditure Survey from the Statistical Centre of Iran (SCI). The model is calibrated to simulate the effects of international sanctions as closely as possible. We use endogenous trade taxes to simulate the effects of sanctions on Iranian oil and petrochemical exports and Iranian imports of petroleum products, metal products and motor vehicles. Our study finds that international sanctions reduced aggregate Iranian welfare by 14%–15%. Rural households in Iran suffered welfare losses which were almost double those experienced by urban households, and the poorest urban and rural households experienced the largest welfare losses, in the order of 5%–10%. But the government of Iran sees a decrease in real revenue of 40%–50%, due to the large negative effect of sanctions on the Iranian oil sector.
