The Middle East remains characterized by a proliferation of regional initiatives and cooperative frameworks yet continues to lack a cohesive and functional regional order. Instead, it is a theatre for competing visions advanced by key regional powers seeking to shape the region’s future in their own image. In this webinar, speakers examine how key regional actors conceptualise and pursue their visions of regional order. This discussion sheds light on how their competing visions interact and manifest throughout the region.
The event aims to address the following key questions:
- What are the core elements of key regional actors’ respective approaches to regional ordering
- How do these visions intersect, conflict, or evolve in response to changing geopolitical conditions?
- What do emerging minilateral initiatives and regional connectivity projects reveal about these actors’ strategic outlooks?
- How do these states view the role of external powers – including the US, Russia, and China – in the regional order?
By registering for this event, attendees agree to our code of conduct, ensuring a respectful, inclusive, and welcoming space for diverse perspectives and debate.
