Event
The Islamic State and the Middle East’s Shifting Geopolitical Landscape
Wed, October 29th, 2014
Washington, DC
This all-day conference examined the local and regional roots of the growing violence, fragmentation, and instability gripping the Middle East today. Four panels of regional experts and practitioners will consider the political, security, and sectarian dynamics fueling the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, the inherent contradictions within the U.S.-led coalition, the impact of Iran on recent developments, and the challenges facing U.S. policymakers.
