An expert on Iran and U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, KARIM SADJADPOUR has written extensively on the region’s political, economic, and cultural dynamics. Formerly the chief Iran analyst at the International Crisis Group, Sadjadpour is now a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and an adjunct professor at Georgetown University’s Walsh School of Foreign Service. In “Iran’s Hollow Victory” (page 30), he argues that Tehran’s quest for regional dominance will come at a steep cost at home and abroad.

ROBERT ZOELLICK has served in some of the most consequential positions in U.S. foreign policy, including as U.S. trade representative and deputy secretary of state. From 2007 to 2012, he led the World Bank. Now a senior fellow at Harvard’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Zoellick argues in “Before the Next Shock” (page 86) that despite calls to fundamentally overhaul the global economic order, what it needs is more modest reform.

Born in Copenhagen to a mother from Denmark and a father from Comoros, JACOB MCHANGAMA is an acclaimed advocate for free speech and human rights.

He is also the host of the podcast Clear and Present Danger and the author of Free Speech: A History From Socrates to Social Media. In “The War on Free Speech” (page 117), he argues that freedom of expression is under assault everywhere—not just in authoritarian states.

One of the foremost authorities on mass migration, refugees, and security policy, KELLY GREENHILL has written extensively on coercion and disinformation in international relations.
