Description

"Peace is not a single event but a process—a long, difficult, and often unpredictable journey. The question is not whether we will ever arrive, but whether we are willing to take the next step." For five decades, the Iran-US conflict has been a source of instability, human suffering, and global anxiety. Yet, despite numerous failures, diplomatic opportunities continue to emerge. Why do they fail, and how can we prepare for the next window of opportunity? Based on extensive interviews with 40 experts and a rigorous application of Kingdon's Multiple Streams Framework, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the agenda-setting dynamics that shape Iran-US relations. It offers practical, actionable insights for identifying and seizing future diplomatic windows, transforming reactive diplomacy into proactive peacebuilding. Pathways to Peace is not just an academic study it is a call to action for leaders, diplomats, and citizens to prepare the ground for a more stable, just, and peaceful world.
