The Global Research in International Affairs (GLORIA) Center has launched its new web site. Follow this link to go there. The link at the right of the page has also been updated accordingly.

I encourage JIW subscribers who want more in-depth analysis to often visit GLORIA and subscribe by email or RSS feed.

From their "About' page:

[GLORIA is] directed by Barry Rubin, is a research center located at the Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya (IDC). IDC is Israel's first private institution of higher learning.

Our special focus is a unique and creative application of new information technologies to scholarly and analytical work. We believe that these new tools can revolutionize the study of international affairs. Our basic conception in this regard is presented in our article "Bringing Middle East (and International Affairs) Studies into the Twenty-First Century."
