Brad is first joined by Dr. Rachel Kleinfeld, a Senior Fellow in the Democracy, Conflict, and Governance Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

There she focuses on issues of rule of law, security, and governance in post-conflict countries, fragile states, and states in transition.
