It must make the necessary administrative and faculty hires to revamp the program and shift its focus towards the study of the modern region. This way, it can better serve the Harvard community on such pressing issues as the dimensions of Middle East terrorism, the rise of Islamism and the causes of the turmoil that besieges the Middle East region today...
