    Top 10 Posts for August 2014

    September 5, 2014 By Schuyler Null
    August-Top-10

    We started the last top 10 post tracking the dramatic battle over Iraq’s Mosul Dam and the most popular of August took a closer look. Cameron Harrington and I explain that this isn’t the first time water has played a major role in the fighting, while also exploring ways it could be a peacemaker.

    Other popular posts followed the headlines as well: ECSP Director Roger-Mark De Souza highlighted food security at the first ever U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit in Washington, DC, and Sarah Meyerhoff explained some of the demographic and gender dynamics that make Gaza’s youth especially vulnerable to conflict.

    Guest contributors Robert Engelman, Luisa Veronis, Jim Jarvie, Richard Friend, and Monica Duffy Toft also wrote top posts, explaining new thinking on family planning and sustainable development, environmental refugees, resilience and governance, and political demography.
