Description:

Over six years after 9/11, much has been heard about the goals of the global jihad movement, but less is known about the internal debates and rifts among Salafi-Jihadists. In this presentation, Dr. Assaf Moghadam will examine the ideological roots of the Global Jihad and highlight the main internal divisions that continue to plague the movement. He will also discuss possible strategies for the United States to exploit the global jihad movement's internal disagreements.

Worst of the Worst: Dealing with Repressive and Rogue Nations

"This volume makes an unparalleled contribution to the growing and vital field of measurement and human rights. [The book] offers a useful categorization and assessment of repressive and 'rogue' states, allowing us to measure the extenet of repressive state behavior more accurately. His [Rotberg] work should embolden external critiques and facilitate more transparent and accountable foreign policy."

--Sarah Sewall, Director, Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, Harvard University
