October 2009 View this newsletter as a web page on CFR's website. In this Issue, New CFR Resources on: IRAN AND THE WORLD A NEW TAKE ON IMMIGRATION GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK PANDEMIC FLU CFR ACADEMIC CONFERENCE CALL SERIES IRAN AND THE WORLD CFR Book: Guardians of the Revolution: Iran and the World in the Age of the Ayatollahs For over a quarter-century, Iran has been one of the United States' chief nemeses. But as CFR's Ray Takeyh shows in this accessible and authoritative history of Iran's relations with the world since the revolution, behind the famous personalities and extremist slogans is a nation that is far more pragmatic—and complex—than many in the West have been led to believe. More resources on Iran: CFR.org Backgrounder: Iran's Ballistic Missile Program Op-Ed: Richard N. Haass on a Different Regime Change in Iran CFR.org Interview: Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Manouchehr Mottaki A NEW TAKE ON IMMIGRATION CFR Task Force Report: U.S. Immigration Policy This CFR-sponsored Independent Task Force report offers a strategy for maintaining the United States' political and economic leadership by attracting skilled immigrants, a program of legalization for those living in the United States illegally, and steps for securing the country's borders in an effective and humane way. More resources on Immigration: Academic Module: Teaching Notes and Resources on CFR Book The Closing of the American Border Op-Ed: Edward Alden on Losing America's Secret Weapon CFR Meeting Transcript: U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet A. Napolitano GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK CFR Working Paper: The Gloomy Prospects for World Growth In this Center for Geoeconomic Studies Working Paper, CFR's Steven Dunaway argues that the world economy faces the prospect of prolonged slower growth. Other sources must be found to counteract decreased U.S. demand, but no other major economy appears inclined to change their policies to do so.
