Some Weekend Diversions

A few end-of-the week referrals:
  • Christopher Boucek has a new paper for the Carnegie Endowment, Yemen: Avoiding a Downward Spiral. The linked page has the summary and conclusions and links to the full .pdfs in English or Arabic.
  • Thomas Hegghammer at Jihadica is going to be taking a bit of a leave until spring, which would be bad news for the jihadi tracking community except that his first guest blogger is my friend Jean-Pierre Filiu from Sciences-Po in Paris. The blog will be in good hands. Both Hegghammer and Filiu come out of Gilles Kepel's shop in Paris.
