Description
The post-Cold War liberal order is shifting with global developments, including those in the Arab region. Scholars in both North America and the Middle East are engaging in research on the international affairs of the region, focusing on interlocking war economies, securitization, and prolonged conflicts. This planning grant will support the convening, research, and communications activities of the Political Economy Research Institute (PERI) of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst dedicated to engaging the Arab regional scholars and practitioners in developing new frameworks for understanding the emerging world order in relation to contemporary challenges. The activities will entail meetings, panel discussions, policy briefs, public commentaries, working papers, and podcasts.
