AKP, Alcohol, and Government-Engineered Social Change in Turkey

Springtime for Iran

To the casual observer, Iraq's post-electoral political process might appear to be deadlocked or moving at a snail's pace. Although international observers validated the results of the March 7 election as largely free and fair, the outcome has been subjected to a series of ill-natured legal challenges. This will complicate

Iraq's Painful Government Formation

The most likely scenario for government formation is a government of national unity that will hold together just long enough to appoint a president, prime minister and cabinet.
