Operation Moshtarak Soldier Analysis: What Will Success Look Like in Operation Moshtarak? 16 Feb 2010 by Professor Michael Clarke
Operation Moshtarak is the most important campaign in Afghanistan since the invasion in 2001. Its success, however, will not be measured in military terms but in terms of public opinion, both in Helmand and the rest of Afghanistan and in the Coalition's domestic electorate.

Secretary Robert Gates Analysis: The Gulf States and a fourth Gulf War 2 Sep 2009
Internal upheaval has delayed Iran’s response, due this month (September), to the US offer of nuclear talks. The response of the international community to Iran's ongoing nuclear programme will be observed with keen interest by Gulf Arab neighbours whose attitude is governed by the overriding desire to constrain Iran’s regional role. This raises questions as to what options are open to them, including what part they would play in increased US economic or military pressure on Iran.

Obama Russia Analysis: US-Russia summit: a meeting of minds, but not of souls 9 Jul 2009 by Dr Jonathan Eyal
A breakthrough on arms control was achieved at the first summit between US president Barack Obama and the Russian leadership. However, the ‘reset button’ has yet to be pressed on the relations between the two countries. What the Russians really want the US is not prepared to grant, and what the US expects, Moscow is not willing to provide either.

Obama in Cairo Analysis: A new dialogue? Obama’s Cairo speech 4 Jun 2009
Obama’s Cairo speech has fulfilled the Obama administration’s determination to change in tone and substance the US dialogue with the Muslim world. It revealed an understanding of current political realities and the core beliefs of all parties. Through personal engagement he emphasised that violence should be rejected as a political tool. While Obama will have won credit to manage the challenges ahead, he must still show the moral authority to act in the face of criticism.

Natanz nuclear complex Analysis: Iran & America: The Clenched Fist Grasping an Olive Branch 13 May 2009
The Obama Administration’s call for a fresh start with Iran have so far been met with hostility, a result of political battles within Iran’s governing faction. Yet the political squabbling masks a tentative movement in Iran away from hostility and towards engagement. Middle East and North Africa Americas United States Iran
Karzai and Obama Analysis: ‘The Obama Effect’ in the Middle East and Beyond 28 Apr 2009
Obama's presidency has been greeted with abundant goodwill in the Middle East and his rhetoric thus far has only bettered relations. Much depends on the concrete steps that will follow his fine words. Global Security Issues Middle East and North Africa Americas United States Egypt Middle East Peace
Obama stump speech RUSI Newsbrief: Washington’s Stance on Iran: Prospects for Change Under Obama? 28 Jan 2009
President Obama’s campaign trail effectively changed America’s policies on Iran through its declarations of direct engagement with Tehran and, most controversially, discourse with Iranian leaders ‘without pre-conditions’. With the current stand-off between the US and Iran entering its fourth decade, and the task facing the US to produce a diplomatic breakthrough seemingly ever-more arduous, now could be the time for genuine diplomacy and negotiations between the two.

Obama 4 Analysis: What chances for success under an Obama administration? 20 Jan 2009
Expectations are unrealistically high, and the style of American political leadership will change more than the substance – yet the inauguration of Barack Obama as America’s first black president is hugely significant, and the very problems he is inheriting could enhance his chances for success, and perhaps even for greatness.
