Join the fifth webinar of our Shifting Paradigms Series!
Energy is one of the most significant arenas for political power and post-war recovery across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. As conflicts fracture infrastructure and unsettle long-standing alliances, energy systems are increasingly shaping both the course of instability and the possibilities for reconstruction. This webinar examines how energy diplomacy, reconstruction finance, and shifting geopolitical competition are redefining recovery efforts amid uncertainty and strategic rivalry. Drawing on a multidisciplinary lens, the panel of experts will explore how shifting power balances and evolving economic interests influence prospects for cooperative energy strategies, the role of the state, and the risks posed by unresolved political disputes and ongoing instability.
The “Shifting Paradigms” series addresses the complex and evolving landscape of international relations, focusing on how global power structures are changing and what that means for stability, security, and cooperation worldwide. The discussions bring together experts in political science, economics, international relations, history, and security studies to present a multidisciplinary perspective on the topic.
