Professor Gawdat Bahgat will use his expertise in the Middle Eastern to discuss how Russia and China have been consolidating their economic and strategic ties in the region.
The United States has several major national interests in the Middle East including oil supplies, the security of Israel, nuclear nonproliferation, and counterterrorism. To protect these interests, Washington has been heavily involved in the region. However, in the last two decades, both Russia and China have consolidated their economic and strategic ties with several regional powers. Meanwhile, some Arab leaders perceive the US as withdrawing from the region. Senior US officials strongly disagree with this assessment. This program will examine the main forces that shape US foreign policy in the Middle East and the rest of the world and discuss the challenges and opportunities in US relations with major regional powers (Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey among others).
