While I grow frustrated with the output of my colleagues for Qahwa Sada (and do drop me a line if you think that you might be a potential contributor), here's another roundup of interesting ME stuff around the web:
Simon Henderson discusses the implications of the new Saudi succession rules for the Washington Institute.
Olivier Roy has a piece at Open Democracy based on a lecture he gave on shifts within Islamism.
Crooked Timber hosts a great symposium on a new book by Shari Berman. It isn't about the Middle East, but it is a nice model for the kind of book symposium which we have in the works here.
Jordanian journalist and blogger Batir Wardum is working on a list of the 100 most influential Arab intellectuals in the past 25 years. You can see an English version of his work in progress here.
Brookings has a sobering analysis of internal displacement due to ethnic violence in Iraq, prepared by Ashraf al-Khalidi and Victor Tanner.
