The Overlap of Media, Culture, and Intelligence in Iran
The Iranian regime has adopted a clearly-defined political strategy through which it aims to spread its ideology and strengthen its influence beyond Iran’s geographic borders. The regime views the triple-pronged approach of culture, media, and intelligence as an effective tool that will allow it to win the hearts and minds

The Case for Muhammad bin Salman
In the tragic Khashoggi affair, the Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman (MbS) certainly bears responsibility. As the face of the new Saudi Arabia, and as a young, daring, risky, and even reckless autocratic leader, MbS’s connection to the crime should certainly be examined with a significant degree of scrutiny

Infighting in Nidaa Tounes: A Danger to Tunisia’s Democracy?
Tunisia is the Arab Spring’s single democratic success story, and has remained so—though not without hiccups—for the past seven years.

Moreover, the struggle between the President’s son Hafedh

Gaïd Salah and the Future of the Algerian Army
As the question of succession dominates public concerns in Algeria, divisions between Algerian President Bouteflika’s supporters and opponents have deepened among political, military, administrative, and economic elites.

A Strengthening Shiite Axis Paradoxically Gives Peace between Syria and Israel a Chance
As the Assad-Iran-Russian axis prepares for the "last battle in Idlib," the question arises: what does the ‘day after’ look like for the region when events in Syria finally come to a conclusion? It is clear that Iran’s proxy forces would prefer to create a new Syria in accordance with

The Role of the Popular Mobilization Forces in the Iraqi Political Process
Wars do not break out in developing countries without armed groups appearing alongside regime forces, and Iraq is no exception. However, the fact that armed Shia factions have united under one banner as the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) has been an unexpected development in Iraqi politics. Although adhering to the

Remembering Gaza Disengagement 13 Years Later: Personal Reflections on a Missed Opportunity

Arabic Political Comedy: A Vector for Liberalization?
When the “Arab Spring” seemed to promise a transformation from autocracy to citizen empowerment, Bassem Youssef—an Egyptian medical doctor by training—carved for himself an unprecedented niche in Arabic-language media. First on YouTube in 2011, then on broadcast television, Youssef became the “Egyptian Jon Stewart”, the first comedic commentator on serious

The U.S. Role in the Future of Iraq
The United States of America has invested significant time and effort in Iraq over the last fifteen years, yet the Iraqi political process continues to falter.

Limiting Corruption Opportunities in Iraq
As popular demonstrations in the south escalate further each summer, the next Iraqi government should address the root causes of this unrest. Otherwise, it risks the existence of the post-2003 system.
