SPECIAL LECTURE

MODERATOR

Dr. Yukiko Nishikawa, Professor, GSID

Dr. Hisae Nakanishi

Professor, Graduate School of Global Studies, Doshisha University"Where does the Middle East go?: Syria, the Iran-Saudi Relationship and Jerusalem"
Since the time of the Arab Revolt that started in January, 2010, the Middle East has witnessed worsening political,
social and economic instability. The Civil War in Syria has become protracted and the rivalry between Saudi Arabia andIran has intensiﬁed. President Trump's declaration of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel became a source of conﬂict in
the Middle East. The lecture will explain both internal and external factors that have contributed to the widespread
instability in the Middle East. In particular, it will touch upon both demographic and developmental problems that theMiddle East has faced and will continuously cope with. Among the causes of the growing instability are fragmentationof Arab states on the Palestine question, the demise of the oil economy, the increasing brain drain from the Middle
East region, globalization of arms markets, radicalized Islamic groups and the socioeconomic isolation of youth, and thecollapse of interdependency in the region. Some future prospects will be discussed at the end of the lecture.
