Understanding the Middle East

Join Us for Our Next Lecture

Forging a New Regional Order:
The U.S. between the Arabs, Iranians, Israelis and Turks
Sunday July 27 • 5:00 - 6:00 PM EDT

REGISTER HERE (FREE and via Zoom) 

The American led order that prevailed in the Middle East for almost three decades is breaking down. Washington now faces new and old rivals in shaping the region while a new generation of Arab leaders seek to shape the Middle East themselves. This comes at a time when President Donald Trump has signaled a new set of both global and regional priorities for the United States. All these forces are combining to produce a regional order that looks very different than the one with which Americans have grappled for the better part of the last three decades.

Steven A. Cook is the Eni Enrico Mattei senior fellow for Middle East and Africa studies and director of the International Affairs Fellowship for Tenured International Relations Scholars at the Council on Foreign Relations. He is an expert on Arab and Turkish politics as well as U.S.-Middle East policy. He is a columnist at Foreign Policy magazine and is frequent commentator on these areas in print and on radio and television. Cook is the author of several books including The End of Ambition: America’s Past, Present, and Future in the Middle East.
