Middle East Brief
In late December 2005, the Crown Center launched a new publication, Middle East Brief. Parallel to the Center’s scholarly work, the publication, targeted primarily at decision-makers and opinion leaders, provides a brief analysis of a single issue at the top of the region’s political, social, or economic agenda.
