We are very excited to be launching a new weekly newsletter with the best of our foreign policy and national security news and analysis, highlighting Quincy Institute staff and outside expert contributors to our dynamic online magazine.
Many of you will recognize former LobeLog regular contributors, including Eli Clifton, Paul Pillar, Shireen Hunter, Eldar Mamedov, Trita Parsi, Ben Armbruster, Emile Nakhleh, William Hartung, Giorgio Cafiero, James Dorsey, Mitchell Plitnick, among many others. They have found a place at RS for their indispensable analyses of the Greater Middle East, the influence of neoconservatives and foreign-funded lobbyists on U.S. foreign policy, the persistent militarization of U.S. policy more generally, and the shortcomings of mainstream media coverage of international affairs.
QI and RS have also expanded LobeLog’s focus on the Greater Middle East to include broader geostrategic issues, notably Washington’s increasingly confrontational stance toward China and Russia, its relationships with North and South Korea, and the Biden administration’s efforts to renew closer relations with its NATO allies in Europe.
So please enjoy our updates and check in with ResponsibleStatecraft.org regularly — you never know what we will be posting there next.
Best regards,
Jim Lobe
Sr. Advisor and Contributing Editor, Responsible Statecraft
