We’re happy to have a new project director on-board here at ECSP, and apparently so are you. Roger-Mark De Souza’s welcome post was one of the most popular of last month, despite going up three-quarters of the way through. Wilson Center Scholar Jill Shankleman’s treatise on East Africa’s oil and gas returned to the top spot and was joined mostly by newcomers: the Wilson Center’s climate change and peacebuilding in Africa workshop; Wilson Center Fellow Jeff Colgan’s Petro-Aggression book launch; National Geographic’s “water grabbers” series; the continuation of our Toward Resilience series; an infographic on reproductive health and the environment; and the China Environment Forum’s brief on Yunnan’s coffee industry.
