Think tank assignment

Now take two think tanks, one from the Middle East, the other Western (probably American) specializing in the Middle East. Be prepared on Feb. 8 to tell the class what you think about them. Are they particularly ideological, and how so? Is their work academic and technical, or more for general readers? Do they seem to emphasize events or publications or something else? See if you can find where their funding comes from. Check other sources (e.g. Lexis-Nexis, Factiva) to see if they are discussed much in the news media.
