Special Report: The Development of Iran's Non-Oil Exports, 1990-2011
Marcus has written a first-of-its-kind report examining the key drivers behind the growth of Iranian non-oil exports between 1990 and 2011.

Marcus is a final year undergraduate student of Arabic, Persian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge. He is a senior committee member of Cambridge’s Middle East and North Africa Forum (MENAF). He has previously worked as an open-source analyst on Iran for IHS Markit’s Country Risk desk.
