Contribution to the Project
Sajjad Faraji Dizaji is not only an Iranian Economist with an outstanding academic career but also a prolific writer, published in more than thirty refereed national and international journals. His research interests concern the political economy of developing oil states, particularly in the Middle East, public policy, the effects of international sanctions and economic theory. As an Extractivism.de fellow, Diyaji further expands this analytical focus to the Maghreb, exploring the links between oil rents, middle class behavior, and political institutions.
