In recent years, a number of factors have destabilized the Middle East and escalated tensions among regional and global powers. The Iran nuclear deal, an example of how diplomatic initiatives can succeed despite high levels of mistrust between stakeholders, has nevertheless left some countries in the region feeling vulnerable. The tragedy of the war in Syria has further destabilized the region and is having significant global impact as millions of Syrian refugees seek safe haven. The rise of the Islamic State and its proliferation throughout the region and beyond has shocked the international community as well.
\nGiven these difficult new realities, the Asia Society Policy Institute and Academic Exchange present a high-level panel discussion on the evolving security challenges in the Middle East and potential pathways to stability. Senior policy experts will shed light on the changing region and discuss alternative visions for the region\u2019s future and steps that can be taken to get there.<\/p>\n
