• “Crackdown in Bahrain” in Foreign Policy on 17 February 2011 – “The Khalifa leadership is faced with the choice of truly liberalizing or risking outside intervention — which would mean a grave loss of their position, and a potential catastrophe for the United States as well.” Read it here
• “The Center or Bust: Will the Various Forces in Bahrain Finally Compromise on a Centrist Approach to Power?” in Jadaliyya on 8 March 2011 – Read it here
• “Saudi Arabia Strikes Back” in Foreign Policy on 14 March 2011 – “Their decision to intervene directly in Bahrain’s affairs suggests a weakness in the Saudi leadership and Riyadh’s surrender to the more conservative elements in the country.” Read it here
