Lemme ask one of those tone deaf economist questions that annoy almost everyone. Today, many families learned that the amount they owe on their mortgage has declined—in real terms—by 9.1% over the past year. Why do we hear so little about this? Why don't we see folks celebrating?

Great piece by @AlexMStark on US relations in Gulf. US job is to manage relationships and advocate for US interests. When junior partners want the opposite of what their more powerful partner wants then it’s not a relationship problem, it’s a divergence.

All eyes understandably on Ukraine, but other policy challenges persist. @dahliasc @CenturyIntl reports how Abraham Accords exacerbate ills they're supposed to address — and how to salvage progressive policy goals from the Accords. tcf.org/content/report/salva…

How to Salvage Progressive Policies from the Abraham Accords

When the Abraham Accords were first announced in 2020, some heralded them as the dawning of a new era in the Middle East. The architects of the bonanza of

It's been 10 years since we lost Anthony Shadid. I miss him every day. But some of his brilliance lives on — so many people mentored by Anthony who today practice his ethics, his tenacious reporting, his storytelling. worldpoliticsreview.com/tren…

The nature of Anthony Shadid’s work is sometimes misunderstood. After his death 10 years ago this week, he was celebrated as one of the greatest journalists of his era, which he most certainly was....

Until the U.S. invests in peace with the same effort it puts into military engagement against ISIS, the region will face predictable waves of violence. New from @tcambanis: tcf.org/content/commentary/g…

Only Governance and Rights Can Stop the Return of ISIS

Decades into an ill-conceived war on terror, the United States still hasn’t learned to focus on the long-term policy problems that fuel violent groups

"Better governance in Mosul is a win-win proposition—an undeniably wise investment in human well-being that just might also foster stability in a troubled, strategic corner of the world," writes @tcambanis in a new report for @CenturyIntl. tcf.org/content/report/bombs…

Bombs Couldn’t Erase ISIS from Mosul. Better Governance Might

Late one night this summer in a park on the edge of Mosul’s Old City, I met a group of teenagers unwinding by a fountain at the end of a blistering day.

Without good governance Iraq and entire world is vulnerable to the next ISIS. US has a role: rebuilding what it bombs & supporting reconciliation. This is the long game—for Iraq, counterterrorism & rights, I argue in a new report for @CenturyIntl tcf.org/content/report/bombs…

Yikes. Like I always used to tell my Critical Terrorism Studies students — — the Endless War on Terror always told us as much out “us” as it did about “them.” And “over there” always comes back home, eventually. #Gitmo
