Slavin is the author of Bitter Friends, Bosom Enemies: Iran, the U.S., and the Twisted Path to Confrontation.

The book starts with a description of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a representative of the "new generation" despised by the Iranian elite, followed by an explanation of the way Ali Khamenei manipulates different loci of polity like the Revolutionary Guards, the mullahs, the reformers and the oppositions. Slavin then assesses the discontent of the younger generation born after the Iranian Revolution, and analyzes aspects of the antagonism between the United States and Iran with regards to their respective relations with the Arab world. In a review for Foreign Affairs, L.

Carl Brown, a Professor of History at Princeton University, notes that Slavin describes the Revolutionary Guards as "part-military, part mafia". In another review for The Middle East Journal, John Limbert, a Professor of International Affairs at the United States Naval Academy, notes that Slavin uses many "small but revealing vignettes" to illustrate her analyses. In an article for the Lowy Institute for International Policy in January 2017, Slavin described President Donald Trump as "a neophyte populist politician whose promise to 'make America great again' is based on a deeply pessimistic view of the American status quo and the world order.

" She added, "Our new president has a lot to learn and has shown a limited capacity to evolve."

3. Mission of video monitors

Sardinian coasts are composed by cliffs, islands and sand dunes, which are the result of geology, weather conditions and exposure to the ever-pounding sea. The agency manages some of the most beautiful locations belonging to the Sardinian historical and cultural heritage: lighthouses, harbours, towers and past archaeological sites.

The Conservatoria acquires the most fragile and delicate territories by donations, by pre-emption in or, from time to time, by direct purchase. After ensuring all the restoration work, the Conservatoria can manage the areas by itself or entrusts the management to local authorities or other local groups or organisations. The Conservatoria determinates how the sites should be managed and what activities (such as agricultural or turistic activities) are compatible with its goals.
