The challenges to peace and democracy in the Middle East | LSE Event

This conversation is part of AFSEE's programme of events to celebrate our tenth anniversary.

Peace and democracy are facing growing challenges across the Middle East, raising urgent questions about the future of the region. From violent armed conflicts to escalating political polarisation and pressures on democratic institutions and civic participation, people across the Middle East are confronting complex and interconnected challenges. The panel explores the obstacles to building peaceful and democratic societies in the region, examining how political movements, civil society organisations, and grassroots initiatives are responding to these challenges. Bringing together perspectives from academia and activism, the discussion considers the challenges but also to the possible pathways to peace and democracy in a rapidly changing region.
