Summary/Abstract |
Over the past eight years Iran’s conservative leadership has effectively tightened its hold on power, thwarting attempts at political reform. It has centralised decision-making, strengthened the Revolutionary Guard, invested in new strategic weapons, built ties of patronage and effectively used economic levers to assert control. The conservatives’ consolidation of power now constitutes the framework of Iran’s power politics, which will in turn determine the nature and scope of internal political developments after the 2005 presidential elections, the country’s response to outside pressures regarding the nuclear issue, and the kind of government towards which the Islamic Republic is likely to evolve.

Summary/Abstract |
Over the last seven years, social upheavals and civil wars [1] have torn apart the political order that had defined the Middle East ever since World War I. Once solid autocracies have fallen by the wayside, their state institutions battered and broken, and their national borders compromised. Syria and Yemen have descended into bloody civil wars worsened by foreign military interventions. A terrorist group, the Islamic State [2] (also known as ISIS), seized vast areas of Iraq and Syria before being pushed back by an international coalition led by the United States.

Summary/Abstract |
Pakistan's politics has been shaped by the dynamics of civilian-military relations and Islamism's relation to the state. This has created an ongoing negotiation for power in which the military, civilian politicians, and Islamist forces have individually and in alliance with one another vied for control of Pakistan's politics. General Pervez Musharraf's regime has been no exception to this trend. As its claim to secular military rule proved untenable, it has turned to rely on Islamist forces to manage civilian-military relations.

Summary/Abstract |
The Shi'a-Sunni competition for power is not just the single greatest determinant of stability in post-Saddam Iraq. The sectarian struggle will have the single greatest influence on the future of peace and stability from South Asia to the levant

Summary/Abstract |
By toppling Saddam Hussein, the Bush administration has liberated and empowered Iraq's Shiite majority and has helped launch a broad Shiite revival that will upset the sectarian balance in Iraq and the Middle East for years to come. This development is rattling some Sunni Arab governments, but for Washington, it could be a chance to build bridges with the region's Shiites, especially in Iran.
