We tackle one of the world's biggest issues in this latest podcast from the 2009 Cambridge Festival of Ideas - the search for peace in the Middle East. What is the future of Iran after the June elections? And should the region be changing to confront the problems of the 21st century?

On the panel are two Middle East experts: Anoush Ehteshami is professor of international relations and head of the school of government and international affairs at Durham University. His many publications include the 2007 book, Iran and the Rise of its Neoconservatives.

Dr Glen Rangwala lectures in international politics at Cambridge, specialising in the politics of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Gulf region. His most recent book is Iraq in Fragments: The Occupation and its Legacy, widely cited by policy makers and commentators on the Iraq war.
