Bazaar Movements
International diplomacy. Human rights. Social movements. War. How does one begin to digest such monumental subject matter, particularly coming out of a region as volatile as the Middle East?
Perhaps we should turn to the smaller, under-reported stories that are often successful in revealing the salient characteristics of larger challenges. The key is simply knowing where to look.
Bazaar Movements will attempt to cover and unpack these stories in a way that shines light upon larger Middle Eastern (or at times, global) trends. It will serve as an aggregate for smart analysis from some of the most respected members of the foreign policy community, and attempt to provide thorough critiques of the defining foreign policy debates of our day.
