News on TTIP | October 14

By Global Business & Economics Program

Major Mariam al Mansouri’s exploits are an unintended benefit of a looser arms export regime.   Arms sales bear a bad reputation for mortgaging global political sensibilities to domestic economic interests. But as a diplomat in Washington reminded me over dinner last week, to have influence, one must be willing to talk. As sociologist Ori […]
