| Summary |
Program # 865: "Title: Dream and shadows. Tension between the Islamic world and the west is a topic of major interest. But there is another, more fundamental struggle underway in the Middle East. Throughout the region progressive men and women are embarked upon campaigns aimed at increasing the scope of human rights legislation and the boundaries of political expression. Their efforts are redefining the Middle East and expanding the influence of those committed to a democratic future. Journalist and author Robin Wright explains these developments as described in her latest book 'Dreams and shadows.' " |

Program #783: "Title: Beyond the veil : women and change in the Middle East. When Egyptian women gained the right to no-fault divorce in 2001, they achieved a remarkable victory. In building the parliamentary coalition they needed, their first recourse was to respected Muslim clerics who agreed with their interpretation of traditional Islamic Law. The result of the effort was typical of the ways in which women are bringing about change throughout the middle-east. Mahnaz Afkhami and Diane Singerman analyze methods employed and challenges faced by women in a variety of middle-eastern countries."--Track sheet. |

Former Congressman Lee Hamilton explains what underlies the intense partnership in Congress, and 'Why holding the majority matters.' "--Track sheet. |

Commentary #320: "Title: China. the great questions in foreign affairs for this century will involve China, says former Congressman Lee Hamilton. Closer ties between China and the U.S. are crucial on environmental, economic, and foreign policy issues."--Track sheet. |
