About MESH

Aug 26th, 2007 by MESH

Middle East Strategy at Harvard (MESH) is a project of the National Security Studies Program at Harvard University. The program is part of the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs.

MESH is a community of scholars and practitioners who are interested in the formulation of U.S. strategic options for the Middle East. Since 9/11 and the Iraq war, the Middle East has occupied a place of primacy in debates over U.S. global aims and strategies. MESH brings together some of the most original thinkers in academe, research centers, and government, in a public multi-expert weblog.

MESH is convened by Stephen Peter Rosen, director of the National Security Studies Program, and Martin Kramer, senior fellow in the Program. The conveners select MESH members, all of whom enjoy blogging privileges at MESH. Substantive comments are invited from members and other analysts. Comments are moderated.

MESH reserves the right to edit, delete, or move all comments submitted to its weblog. Hosting of this site is provided by the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School.
