The Institute of World Economy and International Relations presents its annual Middle East Survey. The publication, and the many contributions comprising it, offer a multi-layered analysis of key events, trends, and future prospects currently shaping the MENA region. While the term “Yearbook” formally suggests an emphasis on the prevailing circumstances over a particular time period, in fact, the authors have taken a broader look at events and developments to analyze readers with the complexities and challenges facing the Middle East now and historically.


Keywords: Middle East | MENA region | conflicts escalate | contemporary elites |
