The Prospects for a Democratic Transition in Venezuela

The first phase focuses on oil. Owing to sanctions, much of Venezuela’s oil production is effectively frozen. Under this plan, American companies would help rehabilitate oil production and facilitate sales, while profits would be managed in a way intended to benefit the Venezuelan population rather than fuel corruption or sustain the regime.

What Comes After Maduro Is the Real Test

On the morning of January 3, U.S. special operations forces arrested Venezuelan leader Nicolás
Maduro in a highly coordinated operation that immediately drew global attention. U.S.

Why Do Evangelicals Support Israel?

The fact that American evangelicals support Israel is undeniable, however, scholars disagree about their motivations. Our research seeks to fill this gap by carefully exploring theological, cultural, political, security, and demographic sources of evangelical support for Jews and Israel. To that end, we composed a nation-wide survey on 1,000 evangelical and born-again respondents, conducted in April 2018 and administered for us by Lifeway Research, a national polling company that specializes in surveying attitudes of various Christian communities. The full findings were published recently in a scholarly article (here).

ISRAEL IN THE MIDDLE EAST FROM PERIPHERY TO CENTER-PT.3: ISRAEL AND TURKEY-FROM KEMALISM TO ISLAMISM

Turkey was another Middle Eastern country, alongside Iran, which from day one of Israel’s existence was regarded as a likely and desirable friend, possibly an ally, of the Jewish state. The story of the relationships between Israel and Turkey can be considered a typical Middle Eastern story in as much as it is based on a long historic legacy whose implications are felt to this very day.
