Global Views on the West Asia Conflict
Tue, May 19th, 2026
6:00 PM - 7:30 PM (GMT+5:30)
Zoom Webinar
The conflict in West Asia has gone on for over 70 days, even as a mutually acceptable agreement continues to prove elusive. The conflict has fundamentally changed the region, and has had a profound impact on the global economy. Structurally, the conflict has disrupted the rules based international order, which was already under stress in recent years. Economically, the fallout is likely to last for much longer, even if a durable ceasefire is reached anytime soon. Every region and every country across the globe is impacted, not least in the domains of energy and agriculture.
To dive deep into the multifarious dimensions of the conflict, this virtual discussion brings together experts from Carnegie centers across India, Middle East, Europe and the U.S. to offer grounded perspectives from each of these regions.
Agenda:
06:00 – 06:05 pm: Introductory remarks
06:05 – 06:30 pm: Regional perspectives
06:30 – 07:00 pm: Panel discussion
07:00 – 07:25 pm: Q&A by the audience
07:25 – 07:30 pm: Closing remarks
