H1 Foreign Affairs, March/April 2008

Us and Them The Enduring Power of Ethnic Nationalism Jerry Z. Muller Americans generally belittle the role of ethnic nationalism in politics. But in fact, it corresponds to some enduring propensities of the human spirit, it is galvanized by modernization, and in one form or another, it will drive global politics for generations to come. Once ethnic nationalism has captured the imagination of groups in a multiethnic society, ethnic disaggregation or partition is often the least bad answer.

The Fading Jihadists By David Ignatius, Politicians who talk about the terrorism threat -- and it's already clear that this will be a polarizing issue in the 2008 campaign -- should be required to read a new book by a former CIA officer named Marc Sageman. It stands what you think you know about terrorism on its head

Asia Times 'The world' according to Washington According to Anglo-American rules of discourse, "the world" is the political class of Washington, London and their allies of the moment. For an example, take the recent killing of Hezbollah doyen Imad Moughniyeh, one of "the most wanted militants in the world". But, if "the world" adopted the perspective of the real world, other criminals would be worthy of the epithet "wanted the world over". - Noam Chomsky

Foreign Affairs America the Resilient Defying Terrorism and Mitigating Natural Disasters Stephen E.
