- How India's Voters Can Stop Terrorism
Professor Christine Fair lays out the ways in which political pressure from the Indian public may be critical in improving state security institutions and reducing India's vulnerability to terrorism.
- The Challenge of Gaza: Policy Options and Broader Implications
Professor Daniel Byman and co-author Gad Goldstein analyze the ways in which the status of peace talks actually impacts the political and security situation in the Middle East broadly and Gaza in particular. Only through understanding the myriad interconnected and mutually reinforcing factors shaping the dynamic, which the authors lay out, can policymakers hope "to assess options, determine the benefits and drawbacks of the alternative policies, and make strong, informed decisions."
- Pakistan's Middle Class Extremists
Professor Christine Fair and her colleagues report the findings of their research into the connection between income and support for militancy in Pakistan. They find that "there is no evidence that economic development changes attitudes toward violent militant groups, or even that it is the poor whose attitudes are problematic." Rather, support for militants is higher among elites and the middle class than among the lower classes, who tend to bear the brunt of militant attacks.
