Summary/Abstract |
The Bush administration contends that the push for democracy in the Muslim world will improve U.S. security. But this premise is faulty: there is no evidence that democracy reduces terrorism. Indeed, a democratic Middle East would probably result in Islamist governments unwilling to cooperate with Washington

Summary/Abstract |
It is not often that a Ritz-Carlton becomes a detention facility. But last November, when a large slice of the Saudi elite was arrested on accusations of corruption [1], the luxury hotel in Riyadh became a gilded prison for hundreds of princes, billionaires, and high-ranking government officials. Behind this crackdown was the young crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, also known as MBS [2], who is attempting to remake the kingdom’s economy and social life, and even the House of Saud itself.

Summary/Abstract |
Americans have short memories, at least when it comes to the Middle East.Once again pundits and opinion makers are jumping aboard the democracy-promotion train.There seems to be a renewed longing for the heady days of the Bush administration when the Washington conventional wisdom held that democracy promotion was the best antidore to regional anti-Americanism and terrorism.
