  • The Crisis in Syria
    The Crisis in Syria
    Critical Questions
    By Aram Nerguizian
    Feb 8, 2012

    Q1: How has President Bashar al-Assad of Syria been able to remain in power in the wake of mounting unrest?

    A1: A number of local and regional factors have and are likely to continue to enable Assad to hang on to power, at least in the short to medium term.

  • Russia’s Self-defeating Game in Syria
    Commentary
    By Jeffrey Mankoff
    Feb 2, 2012

    Russia’s opposition to a new UN Security Council resolution calling on Syrian president Bashar al-Assad to step down should hardly come as a surprise. Reflecting a series of calculations about the Middle East as well as relations with the West, Moscow has staunchly backed Assad throughout the popular unrest roiling Syria over the past 10 months.

    Egypt and U.S. Health Assistance
    Report
    By Jon B. Alterman
    Jan 31, 2012

    Few countries have been as successful as Egypt in parlaying its strategic position into an economic asset. At the nexus of two continents, astride the Suez Canal, and with one-quarter of the Arab world’s entire population, Egypt has made itself an object of interest, and often an object of concern, among the world’s great powers for more than a half-century.

  • Middle East Notes and Comment: The Arab Decade?
    Newsletter
    By Jon B. Alterman
    Jan 24, 2012

    One year ago, the protests in Cairo’s Tahrir Square proved that Tunisia was not a fluke. Until January 2011, Tunisia didn’t resonate much in the Arab world. It was too small, too Francophile, and too socially liberal.

  • Egypt in Transition: Insights and Options for U.S. Policy
    Report
    By Jon B. Alterman
    Jan 18, 2012

    Egypt’s leadership has dashed expectations for a swift and complete shift from autocracy to democracy. The inherent conservatism of Egypt’s military leadership, combined with the political ineffectiveness of many of the activists who were at the center of public protests a year ago, is widening the gap between public expectations of the post-Mubarak era and its reality.

  • The Broader Crisis in Iraq
    Report
    By Anthony H. Cordesman
    Dec 27, 2011

    It is tempting to focus solely on the evolving political crisis and power struggle between Prime Minister Maliki and his opponents, but this is only part of the crisis in Iraq.

  • The Real Outcome of the Iraq War: US and Iranian Strategic Competition in Iraq
    Report
    By Anthony H. Cordesman, Adam Mausner, Peter Alsis, and Charles Loi
    Dec 20, 2011

    The events of the last few days have made it all too clear that the US celebrated the end of the Iraq War without any realism as to the impact of the war and US occupation or the fact that the real result has been to create a new theater of competition between the US and Iran.
