The arena of conflict, resistance, opposition, and confrontation against colonialism, imperialism, and crusaders, is today, the arena of the private sector.  We have to develop private sector strategies for building partnerships, alliances, and solidarity between Muslim nations, and across the Global South.   We need to study trade patterns and relationships to pinpoint opportunities for shifting the balance of power in the world.  In this podcast I discuss the idea of "Broker Nations" as a potential strategy for strengthening the Muslim world economically, and containing others.  Consider this as a session of brainstorming, and please offer your own ideas and feedback below.
