In various capacities, I’ve worked or consulted for the International Rescue Committee, the Carter Center, the Israel Policy Forum, the Institute for Multi-Track Diplomacy, the Center for Democracy and Human Rights in Saudi Arabia, Abraham’s Vision and Soliya.
I’ve been a regular guest on the Voice of America, a blogger for the Huffington Post, and an election monitor in the Former Soviet Union for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. I’ve spent extended periods of time—usually for research—in the Balkans, the Caucasus, Northern Ireland, West Africa and Israel/Palestine.
My writing has appeared in the Christian Science Monitor, Le Monde Diplomatique, Asia Times, Pakistan’s The Dawn, Beirut’s Daily Star, Israel’s Yediot Ahronoth, Al Jazeera Magazine, Al Arabiya, Middle East Times, World Politics Review, Transitions Online, Eurasia Insight, European Affairs Journal and elsewhere. My commentaries have also been syndicated in various other outlets in the US, UK, UAE, Israel, Egypt, Morocco, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, France, Czech Republic, Belgium, Moldova, the Republic of Georgia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.
I have a Master’s Degree from the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (ICAR) at George Mason University.
