Yemen’s Revolutionary Moment, Collective Memory and Contentious Politics | 3 ABSTRACT 2011 became a year of revolt for the Middle East and North Africa as a series of popular uprisings toppled veteran strongmen that had ruled the region for decades. The contentious mobilisations not only repudiated orthodox explanations for the resilience of Arab autocracy, but radically asserted the ‘political imaginary’ of a sovereign and united citizenry, so vigorously encapsulated in the popular slogan al-shaʿb yurīd isqāṭ al-niẓām (the people want to overthrow the system).

  • Barry Rubin's Legacy and the Study of U.S. Middle East Policy
    BARRY RUBIN’S LEGACY AND THE STUDY OF U.S. MIDDLE EAST POLICY www.rubincenter.org /2015/07/barry-rubins-legacy-and-the-study-of-u-s-middle-east-policy/ Martin Kramer In the following transcript Dr. Martin Kramer recounts his friendship and long acquaintance with Prof. Barry Rubin and their shared interest in U.S. Middle East policy, noting Rubin’s deep concerns regarding the Obama administration in this regard. Also discussed is the administration’s view of the region, contending that it has an appeal to the traditional American realist view of the Middle East, whose adherents tend to favor a U.S. withdrawal from the region. This, Kramer contends, is what has enabled the administration’s approach to the region to gain wide currency in the United States, rather than any broad support for the leftist underpinnings of Obama’s worldview. It is part of a symposium entitled, “Regime Collapse and Sectarian War: Where is the Middle East Headed?” The symposium was held on March 15, 2015, to mark the launch of the newly named Rubin Center for International Affairs in honor of MERIA founder and former editor the late Prof. Barry Rubin. Editor’s Note: Since the beginning of the Arab Spring, the world has witnessed the collapse of a number of authoritarian regimes in the Middle East and the consequent opening of an ungoverned space. Two formerly strong states, Iraq and Syria, have ceased to exist. The result has been the emergence of a series of paramilitary and political organizations–most based on ethnic and sectarian identity–all competing for control on the ground of what were once those states.

  • The Transatlantic Dimension of Europe's Nuclear Diplomacy with Iran: 2003–21
    The Transatlantic Dimension of Europe’s Nuclear Diplomacy with Iran: © 2021 IAI 2003–21 by Riccardo Alcaro With the support of the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union ISSN 2610-9603 | ISBN 978-88-9368-195-7 ABSTRACT European nuclear diplomacy with Iran has always had a transatlantic dimension at its core. Facilitating US–Iranian engagement is instrumental to securing European long-term interests in supporting the non-proliferation regime and preventing a major military confrontation in the Gulf. Over the years the Europeans have made a number of tactical adjustments in pursuit of this strategic goal. They succeeded in turning initial transatlantic divergence under Bush into a fairly solid transatlantic consensus under Obama, when the Iran nuclear deal or JCPOA was signed. After Trump pulled the US out of the deal, Europe fell back on conflict management, which was barely enough to keep the JCPOA on life support. With Biden the pendulum has shifted back to transatlantic re-engagement, with a view to revive the nuclear deal. Convergence with the US remains indispensable, but it may require a degree of leverage over Washington that Europe has lost.

  • What Drives President Biden's Middle East Policies?
    Policy Report No. 22 – May 2021 What Drives President Biden’s Middle East Policies? And what are their Impacts on the Gulf States? Dr. Mohammad Yaghi Introduction There are major differences between President Biden and the former President Barack Obama. The latter, for example, opposed the Iraq war in 2003, while Biden supported (both were Senators at the time). During his campaign for presidency in 2017, Biden proposed to divide Iraq into three autonomous regions along sectarian lines, while Obama opposed this proposition.1 Biden is also closer to Israel than Obama was, and he has personal ties with the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. Additionally, Biden supported the continuation of the same stability policies in the Middle East, while Obama championed political reform.2 Nevertheless, this article claims that although President Biden’s political views belong to the centrist camp of the Democratic Party, his policies will most likely lean more to the left than those of President Obama for two main reasons: the U.S.’s need to direct its resources to the competition with China and to mega projects to solve its internal economic crisis; and because of structural changes that took place within the Democratic Party. The Middle East is draining the U.S.’s scarce resources from where they are most needed: to confront China and to ensure the U.S.’s economic leadership. Furthermore, the progressive current in the Democratic Party is very strong, such that President Biden cannot turn his back to its political and economic demands. In view of these considerations, President Biden will avoid further military involvement in the Middle East, and he will try to align his policies more closely with those of the progressive current in his party.
