Articles, Op-Eds and Speeches by Selig Harrison

Working with Iran to Stabilize Iraq

What A.Q. Khan Knows
In this OpEd piece in the Washington Post, Selig Harrison argues that Abdul Qadeer Khan could have played a larger role in how North Korea came to possess centrifuges for uranium enrichment. Selig goes into further detail about why "Musharraf is determined to keep Khan under wraps" and whether or not North Korea will give the facts in order for the denuclearization process to be completed.
The Washington Post, January 31, 2008


Beware Pashtunistan
In his latest piece, featured in Newsweek International, Selig S. Harrison stresses the importance of the U.S. encouraging a fair election in Pakistan. Harrison warns of a breakaway 'Pashtunistan,' that could not only divide Pakistan, but also destabilize the entire Middle East.
Newsweek International, November 12, 2007

Improving the chances of a fair election
Selig S. Harrison's Op-Ed in The Globe and Mail questions whether Benazir Bhutto will make it to the January elections alive. More importantly, Harrison suggests that even if she does, the chances of a fair election, and a Bhutto-majority large enough to enact change, are slim. Harrison exposes rigging schemes in Pakistani-Parliamentary elections, concluding with a discussion of possible pressure U.S. and European aid donors could put on the Musharraf-run government to ensure free and fair elections.
The Globe and Mail, October 24, 2007

Sanctions Won't Stop Tehran
Selig S. Harrison's Op-Ed in The Washington Post
argues that the persuading the Islamic Republic of Iran to renounce nuclear weapons will be significantly more difficult than the negotiations that led to North Korean disarmament. Harrison warns against sanctions, instead recommending a multilateral dialogue that addresses Iran's security concerns, including Israel.
The Washington Post, October 2, 2007

The US meddles aggressively in Iran
Selig S. Harrison's Op-Ed in Le Monde Diplomatique explores the covert action the United States is taking in Iran to encourage regime change. Harrison declares the Bush Administration's policies of aiding the MEK, as well as arming militias through proxies like Israel and Pakistan, counterproductive. Harrison warns that such measures merely strengthen the support of conservative hard-liners in Iran. Harrison proposes stopping destabilization, but admits that Iran is unlikely to concede to nuclear negotiations unless the United States dramatically alters it's posture in the Gulf.
