'The Middle East at war: Regional (dis)order, global repercussions, and EU options' is a series of close-door workshops examining the strategic, political, economic and security repercussions of the conflict in the Middle East.
The series aim to inform EU policy discussions and identify possible avenues for European action.
Beyond assessing regional and global dynamics, the workshops focus specifically on what the conflict means for EU interests, partnerships, credibility and capacity to act.
The series is structured around four key dimensions of the crisis:
Workshop 1 - Gulf strategic recalibration: assessing the strategic, economic and diplomatic implications of the ongoing US-Israel-Iran war for the Gulf states and for the EU GCC relations.
Workshop 2 - The reshaping of the Levant: discussing longer-term war aims in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and the wider region, as well as escalation scenarios and pathways towards regional stabilisation.
Upcoming workshops
- The Russia-Iran-Ukraine nexus
- Spillovers into the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa.
