CFR.org’s latest Crisis Guide examines the tragedy in Sudan’s Darfur region. Introduced through a compelling multimedia essay comprised of original and some never-before-seen footage from seven of the world’s leading photojournalists, this Crisis Guide depicts the human, political, military, and historical realities in the region, and provides links to deeper resources from the Council’s think tank and other organizations around the world. The guide also includes:
• an interactive timeline of Sudan’s history since independence, narrated by the Council Senior Fellow for Africa Policy Studies Princeton N. Lyman;
• interactive maps illustrating the larger African context of the crisis, the involvement of the United Nations on the continent, and its colonial past;
• an examination by Council Senior Fellow for U.S. Foreign Policy and International Law Lee Feinstein of the UN’s “responsibility to protect;”
• a chapter summarizing the stance taken by each of the major international actors; and
• a “Get Link” feature for bloggers and webmasters who would like to host a graphic link to the guide on their sites.
Crisis Guides, CFR.org’s latest interactive editorial franchise, seek to bring context and historical perspective to the world’s most complex issues. Produced in conjunction with our innovative partners at MediaStorm.org, CFR.org’s inaugural guide, Crisis Guide: Korean Peninsula, looked at the standoff between the two Koreas. Future guides will tackle such issues at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Kashmir, China-Taiwan, global pandemics, and many others.

Start-Up Nation addresses the trillion-dollar question: How is it that Israel—a country of 7.1 million, only sixty years old, surrounded by enemies— produces more start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable nations like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada, and the UK? With the insights of geopolitical experts and investors, the authors examine this nation’s adversity-driven culture to answer this question and offer prescriptions for a global economy on the rebound.
In Forces of Fortune, Vali Nasr presents a paradigm-changing revelation that will transform the understanding of the Muslim world at large. He reveals that there is a vital but unseen rising force in the Islamic world—a new business-minded middle class—that is building a vibrant new Muslim world economy and that holds the key to winning the cold war against Iran and extremists.
In Cuba: What Everyone Needs to Know, Julia E. Sweig presents a remarkably accessible portrait of Cuba's unique place on the world stage over the past fifty years, including its internal politics, its often fraught relationship with the United States, and its shifting relationship with the global community.
