Matthew Yglesias is a fellow at the Center for American Progress. His first book, with the working title Heads in the Sand: Iraq and the Strange Death of Liberal Internationalism, scheduled to be published next spring by John Wiley and co., deals with the Democratic Party's struggle to find a post-9/11 foreign policy, focusing primarily on the rise and (hopefully) fall of the liberal hawk movement.

Previously, he was a staff writer at The American Prospect and an Associate Editor at TPM Media, where he contributed to the group blogs Tapped and TPMCafe. His main blog, now at The Atlantic, has existed in various forms since the dark ages of the blogosphere in January 2002.

His writing has appeared in The Guardian, Slate, The New Republic, and The Washington Monthly, and he is a regular on BloggingHeads.tv and makes the occasional radio or television appearance.

Desperately out of touch with the American mainstream, Yglesias was born and raised in Manhattan and studied philosophy at Harvard where he was editor in chief of The Harvard Independent, a campus alternative weekly.

His latest writings can be found on the Matthew Yglesias blog.

The Law of the Sea

Mark Goldberg has some further background and information on the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Meanwhile, Cato's Chris Preble points to a debate between Doug Bandow (last seen in a cash-for-comment scandal) and Raj Purohit from Citizens for Global Solutions over at the Partnership for a Secure America.

Frank Gaffney's also against this treaty, so I think you could say this treaty has all the right enemies. Basically, internationalists and establishmenty business types seem to be for it, and really paranoid UN-haters are against it.
