Global Disruptions and the Making of a New Middle East

Global Disruptions and the Making of a New Middle East is originated from debates and discussions held at the TRT World Forums in Istanbul. Since the end of the Cold War, the World has been going through radical transformations and disruptions shaking the established World Order. While populism is on the rise on a global scale, multilateralism is increasingly being questioned and ongoing conflicts, political and economic competition among global and regional powers continue to cause disruptions all around the World. This edited volume addresses some of the new challenges and complexities of global transformations in recent decades in the Middle East and offers fresh perspectives not only with regards to the dynamics of ongoing and emerging challenges but also on how to best grapple with their disruptive implications. Taking the legacy of the last hundred years and its implications for today into consideration, contributors to this book argue that a new Middle East is in the making, drawing on the origins and evolutions of long-running disputes as well as emerging issues in security, energy, foreign policy and economy.
