...Exile A telecom billionaire who has spent much of his self-exile in Dubai, Thaksin is an unlikely savior for a legion of bus commuters. He is everything a Thai farmer or construction worker is not: a pale-complexioned ethnic Chinese with nary a callus on his palms. (Abhisit fits that category too.) But Thaksin knew how to tap into a voter base long underexploited by traditional Thai politicians. His populist policies, which included heavily subsidized health care and microfinancing schemes, delighted the lower classes and helped Thaksin win the largest electoral mandate in Thai history. Economists have critiqued...

...even when not invoking ethnic stereotypes, Steele’s uncontrollable logorrhea has never failed to undermine the Republican message. For example, during the debate of the Democrats’ stimulus plan, Steele audaciously proclaimed that “You and I know that in the history of mankind and womankind, government—federal, state, local, or otherwise—has never created one job. It’s destroyed a lot of them. It’s hampered a lot of them.” This is a curious statement considering that the very job that Steele...

...Until now, the working assumption of Iraqi politics has been that no ethnic group or sect can be excluded from a share of power without the risk of creating dangerous instability. And that may be more true than ever, after the Sunnis came in from the cold, first in turning on al-Qaeda, and then in participating in the election. But despite some perfunctory efforts to include some Sunni representation, addressing Sunni communal aspirations has never been al-Maliki's priority. And the arithmetic of inclusion has become vastly more difficult now that the Sunnis believe they won the election...

...March 13, Patrick T. Brennan '11, managing editor of The Salient, published a highly controversial article about ethnic studies. In the article, Brennan condemned the new Ethnic Studies secondary field as tangential to a proper undergraduate education. But in the meantime, his rhetoric-heavy article has ignited passionate debate over meals, House e-mail lists, meetings, and just about any other place at Harvard...
