From Stephen Peter Rosen<\/a> and Martin Kramer<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Last weekend marked the first anniversary of Middle East Strategy at Harvard (MESH), which we launched on December 5, 2007. Over the past year, MESH has provided a platform for expert discussions on a wide range of issues by an impressive array of authorities. The site has acquired a devoted readership in the United States and abroad, especially in Washington and the academy, and it benefits from incoming links from many other websites. There have been many spirited debates, all conducted by experts in their fields, and our unique format of keeping exchanges within a single thread of comments has created a user-friendly archive of enduring value. Our Middle East Papers<\/em> series<\/a> has won praise, and we have had some valuable exchanges in the closed forum, MESHNet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the next few weeks, we will be reviewing our model and considering improvements. We invite readers’ comments on what we might do better. These will not be published, so write frankly and provide us with constructive feedback.<\/p>\n

The mainstay of MESH is our members, who initiate blog postings and sustain discussions. They are listed on the right sidebar, and this is the moment to thank them for keeping MESH fresh and interesting. In addition, MESH benefits from other contributions, by experts invited to comment on posts, and by authors invited to launch their new books on the site. The following list is comprised of all persons\u2014members and others\u2014who contributed posts or comments in our first year. We are grateful to the many outstanding experts who have used this platform to articulate ideas. We take it as a vote of confidence in MESH, and in the high level of discussion and debate we have maintained to date.<\/p>\n
