Rather than a major step on the road to the renaissance of a once great civilization, the recent eruptions in the Middle East have yet again partly collapsed the century-old dysfunctional order, only to be substituted, in most cases, by either anarchy or renewed oppression. Under the prevailing circumstances the foreseeable future of the region does not look promising.
In this talk, Dr. Dan Schueftan will focus on discussions of the dramatic change in the Middle East and its implications for the region, for Israel, and for the world. He will address the national security situation in Israel, its challenges and solutions to domestic and foreign policy, as well as provide insight on Europe‘s policies towards the Middle East.
In structurally analyzing the roots of this problem, Dr. Schueftan will discuss the widespread deficiency of political and social pluralism in the Arab world, challenges to effective democracy building, and the role of European contributions in establishing political and social stability in the Middle East.
Dan Schueftan is the Director of the National Security Studies Center at the University of Haifa, the Director of the International Graduate Program in National Security at that university, a Visiting Professor (2012-2014) at the Department of Government at Georgetown University in Washington DC and a lecturer at the Israel Defense Forces National Defense College. For the last four decades he has been a consultant to Israeli decision makers and to the top echelon of Israel's Prime Minister's Office, Foreign Ministry, Defense Ministry, the IDF and The National Security Council.
Since the mid-1970s Dr. Schueftan has been briefing Members and staffers of the US Congress, as well as top professionals and key political appointees in the executive branch. In Europe he has been briefing ministers, parliamentarians, political leaders, senior officers, defense and intelligence officials and government advisors. He regularly lectures at leading universities, research centers and think-tanks in the United States, Europe and East Asia and is a regular source and interviewee on the Middle East for the major media in Israel, the Arab world, Europe, and North America.
Markus Kaim is Senior Fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP), Adjunct Professor at the Department for Political Science at the University of Zurich, and Guest Lecturer at the Hertie School of Governance.
