's government in a more positive light than most American commentators, characterizing his regime as "managed pluralism" rather than as an outright authoritarian state. Along with Ray Takeyh, he was an early skeptic of the proposition that the spread of democracy in the Middle East would bring pro-American governments to power. Contributing to the anthology ''Our American Story'' (2019), Gvosdev addressed the possibility of a shared American narrative and focused on a sense of community, writing "Shared participation in and celebration of the unfinished and ongoing American experiment is the best way to create and cement the bonds of fellowship and citizenship among Americans." Since 2020, he is cohost of the Doorstep podcast, an initiative of the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs. This is part of an effort to connect U.S. foreign policy with domestic concerns, as well as to explore new narratives for U.S. global engagement.
