SPOILS OF CIVIL WAR – BRINGING THE ARAB WORLD BACK
IN?


“After Conflict? Spoils of war and the emergent international
disorder in the Arab World” is the title of an international
expert meeting convened by the Striking from the Margins research
project of the Central European University with the support of
the Carnegie Corporation New York.
The meeting opens with a public keynote panel at Bruno Kreisky
Forum, joining two eminent intellectuals and actors in the
international arena – Tarek Mitri and Ghassan Salamé – to discuss
current challenges in the Arab world. Before them are issues of
political disarticulation, state capture, civil wars and proxy
wars in the region, and their international extensions, including
the erosion of international norms and frameworks, in what is
emerging as global disorder and the conditions of a new cold war
with variable geographies.
