Navigating the “Middle East” in Washington
In recent years, a growing number of experts claiming personal and familial ties to the Middle East have joined elite foreign policy think tanks in Washington, DC, in an effort to shape US policy debates on this complex region.

Specifically, they serve as “multiplicitous diplomats” wh…
