On the future of the Middle East from Harvard Gazette:“It would be lovely to imagine a pluralistic, democratic set of states in the region they could substitute for the autocratic nation-state or for a congeries of unpleasant, self-protecting, and violent militias. But that’s a pipe dream right now relative to the reality on the ground,” said Feldman. “You can’t get pluralistic democracy unless you first have states that are functioning, and we don’t have functioning states. So the first step has to be to produce functioning states, and only then would it be even conceivable, though by no means guaranteed, to start talking about generating functioning democratic governments.”
