Disruptions and Dynamism Across the Arab World

Tue. May 9th, 2023
Live Online

The Arab World faces a cascade of current and looming challenges, from the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic and Ukraine war to the worsening impacts of climate change and the imperatives of the energy transition. How have these shocks affected governance, societies, and geopolitics in the region?

Join the Carnegie Middle East Program and a distinguished panel of scholars to discuss the impact of these global crises on Arab societies. 

Research for this project was made possible through a generous grant from the Henry Luce Foundation.
