Last year, as part of the World Affairs Council of Harrisburg’s annual Great Decisions Discussion Series, we explored the intricate dynamics of Middle East Realignment. This engaging session featured Brian Katulis, senior fellow at the Middle East Institute, who brought decades of expertise to the table, guiding us through the shifting geopolitics of the region.
In this episode of the podcast, we revisit highlights from that discussion, including:
How "death spiral" states like Yemen and Lebanon impact regional stability.
The role of major powers—Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Israel—in shaping alliances and rivalries.
U.S. foreign policy's evolving focus and its implications for the Middle East.
Katulis’s insights illuminate the complex realities of a region where history, politics, and culture intersect, offering a fresh perspective on some of the world's most pressing issues.
If you enjoy this conversation, don’t miss the opportunity to join us for this year’s Great Decisions Discussion Series, starting January 28th! Over the course of eight weeks, we’ll explore topics ranging from US/China realtions to the impact of AI technology on democracy.
