Arab Center Washington DC
Arab Center Washington DC is organizing a half-day conference to discuss the notion of US disengagement and a pivot away from the Middle East, the realities and dimensions of this perceived retreat, the possibility that this situation reflects a repositioning of US policies and priorities in the region, and the question of whether a new multipolar international political order is emerging in light of these shifts. The conference sessions will also explore the United States’ military and economic involvements, evaluate the current state of US commitments to human rights and democracy, analyze US policy priorities in Egypt, Syria, Iran, Israel, and the Gulf states, probe patterns of direct military involvement and haphazard disengagement in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, examine how actors in the Middle East and North Africa view the United States’ posture, and assess long-term implications for US policy in the region.
