By Juan Cole | (Informed Comment) | – –

Many, many thanks to all our very generous and committed contributors for another successful fundraiser!

Your donations are key to our plans for a significant redesign and for gradually moving to becoming a magazine.

The internet environment is increasingly unpredictable and possibly hostile to small blogs and webzines like ours. But as long as our readers are committed to our enterprise, of presenting expert analysis to the public on key issues in American foreign and domestic policy, we will forge ahead.

Your support has made that possible in 2018, and we’re so humbled and grateful.

For fans, here is a recent interview I did about the aftermath of the 2011 youth revolts in the Arab world:
