A year and a half ago, the historic Abraham Accords normalized relations between Israel and four Arab countries\u2014but did little for stability or democracy in the region, much less for Israeli\u2013Palestinian peace. On this episode of Order from Ashes, Century International fellow Dahlia Scheindlin assesses the possibility of salvaging progressive foreign policy goals from the problematic agreements.\xa0\nA progressive U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East should encourage Israeli\u2013Palestinian peace, reduce militarization, support democracy, and strengthen the rules-based international order. So far, the Abraham Accords have mostly undermined these goals. In a new report for Century International, Scheindlin argues that diplomatic relations between Israel and Arab states can promote the core aims of progressive foreign policy in the Middle East\u2014but it will take focused American leadership to turn the Abraham Accords around.\nThis podcast is part of \u201cTransnational Trends in Citizenship: Authoritarianism and the Emerging Global Culture of Resistance,\u201d a TCF project supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Open Society Foundations.\xa0\nParticipants include:\nDahlia Scheindlin, fellow, Century International\nThanassis Cambanis, director, Century International
