The Politics of Chaos in the Middle East Last Sunday, the New York Times Book Review weighed in on the new Olivier Roy book, The Politics of Chaos in the Middle East. Reviewed alongside Noah Feldman’s new book, the Times declares, “At only 167 pages, Roy’s book provides a concise and penetrating summation of the current scene; it’s a fine primer for anyone trying to get a sense of just how chaotic the Middle East is.” You can read other reviews of the work here. And the first chapter of the b

It meant less supply on world markets even as global demand entered a fundamentally n

Why do I care? Because, given the politicization of academia in general and Middle East Studies in particular — and the individuals running the conference — I expect that it will not be a quiet exercise in arcane scholarship. Instead, I expect another attempt to bring the politics of hatred to o
