Iran began conducting presidential elections after the revolution of 1979. Following the death of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989, Iran experienced a limited liberalization process, culminating in the election of President Khatami in 1997 and 2001 and the election of a reform-oriented parliament in 2000 (Sahliyeh, 2002). This phase ended when the conservatives recaptured the parliament in 2004 and 2008, and the election of Mahmoud Ahmedinejad as president in 2005 and 2009 (Gheissari and Nasr, 2005; Hen-Tov, 2006-07; Campbell, 2008).

Balance of power between the US Congress and the President under the War Powers Resolution of 1973.

Lou Fisher's prolific writings on the war power—the constitutional repository of authority to initiate war and lesser military hostilities on behalf of the American people—have informed and, for the better part of four decades, shaped discussions and debates on the respective roles of Congress and the president, from the halls of academe to the corridors of power. Widely cited and invoked on hundreds of occasions by political scientists, historians, and legal academics, his work has opened doors for serious consideration of his views by representatives in all three branches of the federal government. It has, as well, established his place in the front-rank of constitutional scholars and, almost certainly, earned for his scholarship an enduring influence on discussions about the constitutional authority to order the use of military force.

Algeria, the biggest country in Africa and potentially one of the most volatile, played an eerily subdued role in the Arab Spring. There were sizeable demonstrations to begin with but while neighbours including Libya and Tunisia exploded into revolution, President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's regime remained remarkably stable. It is only now, two years since a wave of popular uprisings spread across the Middle East and North Africa, that Algeria has become a focus of world interest. With revived interest in Algeria, there is much for the West to learn. Bouteflika spent much of the Arab Spring warning that gangster jihadists would thrive within the borders of his newly liberated neighbours. Anticipating dark consequences of the Arab uprisings, the determinedly iron-fisted Bouteflika clamped down on any sign of unrest at the beginning of 2011. Adapted from the source document.

In Chile, sexual and reproductive rights have been at the core of an ideological and material struggle during the past decade between the women's movement-the grassroots, academic, and nongovernmental organizations that work for women's rights, whether or not they call themselves feminists-and conservative forces. The 2006 election of Michelle Bachelet, a divorced socialist and single mother, as president led to governmental attempts to advance reproductive rights, principally distribution of the emergency contraceptive pill in public health care centers. This effort was unsuccessful for most of Bachelet's term. Although in 2010 a new emergency contraception law finally allowed the public health system to distribute the "morning-after pill," the political debate over other reproductive rights such as abortion is still dominated by conservative positions.
