Panel: The MENA Region in a Changing Global Order
In an increasingly multipolar world, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is navigating shifting power dynamics, fractured alliances, and emerging centers of influence. This panel explores how Iraq and regional actors are adapting to the erosion of traditional geopolitical alliances and power centers. What does multipolarity mean for sovereignty, security, and diplomacy in the MENA region? And how are states recalibrating their positions in response to global uncertainty?
Speakers:
- Victoria Taylor (Deputy Assistant Secretary for Iraq and Iran, Department of State, Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs)
- Krikor Der-Hagopian (Director General of International Relations, Prime Minister’s Office)
- H.E. Anne Linde (Former Foreign Minister, Kingdom of Sweden)
- Dr. Bader Al-Saif (Assistant Professor of History, Kuwait University; Associate Fellow, Chatham House)
- Renad Mansour (Senior Fellow, Iris; Director of Iraq Initiative, Chatham House)
Moderator:
- Dr. Maria Fantappie (Head of the Mediterranean, MENA, Istituto Affari Internazionali)
