    <title>Afghanistan’s Unavoidable Partition</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The US, still mired in a protracted Afghan war that has exacted a staggering cost in blood and treasure, has formally opened peace talks with the Taliban, its main battlefield opponent.

    <description><![CDATA[As the centenary of the outbreak of World War I approaches, the Middle East is being convulsed as never before by the legacy of the Ottoman Empire’s breakup.

    <title>Insuring Immigration</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Although open labor migration would bring massive economic benefits, it inspires fear among source and destination countries alike. A "reversible-bond" system would insure both sides against the risks and allow labor markets’ actual needs to dictate migration flows – thus unlocking the global economy's true potential.]]></description>

    <title>Only the Poor Die Young</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The lives of people who are lower on the socioeconomic ladder are shorter and less healthy, on average, than those of people on higher rungs. What is needed are more targeted welfare policies that account for the effects of selective upward social mobility and different rates of diffusion of behavioral change.]]></description>

    <title>The Trouble Within Islam</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The murder of Lee Rigby on a London street last month does not signify a problem with Islam. But there is a problem within Islam: a strain that has at its heart a view of religion – and about the relationship between religion and politics – that is not compatible with pluralistic, liberal, open-minded societies.]]></description>
