Relations between Iran and its Arab neighbours have been marked by a complex ebb and flow of tensions, suspicions and alliances. Now, in the midst of the Arab uprisings, these relations have been thrown into greater flux and this uncertainty has severe implications for the whole Middle East region. This timely conference will feature leading academics and journalists who will explore the impact of recent events on the future relations between Iran and Arab states.
The conference is organized around four panel discussions:
-
Iran and the Arab World Post-2003
-
Reporting Iranian-Arab Relations: Media, Ethics and Conflict
-
Ethnicity, Religion and Nation
-
National Security, Regional Stability: Prospects for Arab-Iranian Conflict and Cooperation
Keynote speaker: Professor Gary Sick, Columbia University
