IMI: The Three-Civilization Compact — Iran, Italy, and Mexico in the Making of a Multipolar Strategic Network

پروپوزال کتاب جدیدم «پیمان سه تمدن: ایران، ایتالیا، مکزیک» در zenodo منتشر شد. با الهام از نظریه «گفتگوی تمدن ها»ی خاتمی، مدلی برای هم افزایی متقابل فرامنطقه ای ارائه دادم که می تواند رقیب غربی بریکس و شانگهای باشد. کتاب تکمیل شده و آماده انتشار است اما برای انتشار نیازمند حامی/اسپانسر هستم

I am pleased to share the official book proposal for my forthcoming project
The book explores a simple but challenging question:

Can three geographically distant states, with different historical and civilizational backgrounds and without a common alliance, develop meaningful strategic connectivity and build a new form of networked cooperation?

The proposed case study brings together Iran, Italy, and Mexico—three countries that do not constitute an existing geopolitical bloc or trilateral alliance. Rather than assuming that such a compact already exists, the book treats IMI as an **analytical laboratory** for testing the conditions under which civilizational recognition can develop into economic complementarity, technological cooperation, connectivity, and eventually a durable strategic network.

The intellectual starting point is connected to the broader tradition of Dialogue Among Civilizations, particularly the initiative associated with former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami. But this project seeks to move the discussion beyond cultural dialogue toward questions of strategic connectivity, political economy, technology, infrastructure, and networked multipolarity.

The central analytical sequence of the book is:

Recognition → Complementarity → Connectivity → Institutional Feasibility → Potential Strategic Compact

An important feature of the project is that it does not assume that the hypothesis will succeed. The three bilateral relationships are examined separately, including their asymmetries, limitations, and structural constraints. The possibility of failure is therefore part of the research design rather than something to be concealed.

The book also develops the broader idea of “network within networks”: future multipolarity may not necessarily be organized around a small number of rigid blocs. Instead, states may participate simultaneously in overlapping economic, technological, infrastructural, regional, and strategic networks.

The proposal also outlines the book’s discussion of technology, manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, maritime connectivity, space cooperation, and emerging forms of strategic geography, as well as scenarios for how such a network could evolve toward 2040.

Official Book Proposal

The full proposal has been archived on Zenodo as a public research record:

The Zenodo record provides the formal proposal and its research framework for readers, researchers, publishers, and institutions interested in the project.

I am also open to discussions with academic publishers, research institutions, foundations, and potential partners interested in the publication, translation, development, or international dissemination of the project.

This is not a proposal for another conventional geopolitical bloc.

It is an attempt to ask whether civilizational diversity, economic complementarity, technological capability, and strategic connectivity can become the foundations of a new architecture of multipolar cooperation.
