Michael Doran

Senior Fellow and Director, Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East

Shadi Hamid

Senior Fellow, Project on U.S. Relations with the Islamic World, Center for Middle East Policy, Brookings Institution

Jessica Stern

Research Professor, Boston University’s Pardee School of Global Studies

Gideon Rose

Editor, Foreign Affairs, Peter G. Peterson chair, Foreign Affairs, Council on Foreign Relations

Can ISIS and other organized terror groups be defeated in the Islamic Middle East? How can we make sense of the Arab Spring’s disappointing aftermath? And is American “democracy promotion” a genuinely useful tool in a region still struggling to reconcile Islam and modern nation-state politics?

Three noted experts offered their perspectives: Hudson Institute’s Michael Doran, former senior director at the White House National Security Council; The Brookings Institution’s Shadi Hamid, author of a must-read new book on Islamic Exceptionalism; and terrorism specialist Jessica Stern, also an NSC veteran and prolific, award-winning author. Foreign Affairs editor Gideon Rose, an expert in his own right, served as moderator.

Co-presented with the 92Y.
