JINSA Fellow David P. Goldman provides an energy market analysis of U.S. failure to convince the world that it will intervene if Iran does not halt its nuclear weapons program.
JINSA Fellow David P. Goldman explains why the U.S. finds itself in the worst of all possible worlds backing the Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt unequivocally in public while privately urging it to adopt austerity measures which ensure its inability to govern.
JINSA Fellow David P. Goldman explains that while it is relatively easy to find the right rhetoric for disengagement from Egypt, the fact of the matter is that the United States has put all of its eggs in Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi's basket. If the authority of the Morsi government were to fail, American planners would have to consider urgent alternatives to prevent the Egyptian crisis from destabilizing the whole region.
JINSA Fellow David P. Goldman concludes that embattled Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi will most likely pursue austerity measures through devaluation rather than tax increases or subsidy cuts, with deleterious consequences for the already-failing Egyptian economy and the region. The consequences are already being felt as far away as the Arabian Gulf financial centers to Jordan, where half a million Egyptian workers may be held hostage by a Hashemite monarchy ever more suspicious of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood government.
JINSA Fellow David P. Goldman asks the question: How should we understand the apparently erratic behavior of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi?
JINSA Fellow David P. Goldman on the potential wild card posed by a rapidly growing Kurdish population in Anatolia. He maintains that these demographic shifts and Turkey's inability to integrate the Kurds under the broader Islamic tent could make the present boundaries of the Turkish state unsustainable.
In his first article as a JINSA Fellow, David P. Goldman contends that President Morsi's behavior after the September 11 attack on the American embassy in Cairo raises questions about Egypt's governability.
