Project Description

The need to develop a focused strategy in approaching the region, both for political and for economic solicitations, also required a deeper and developed analysis of the main issues coming up in the area. The end of the “Arab Spring” revolutions, the degeneration of the Syrian war, the gradual improvement of relations with Iran, the astonishing development of Turkey as a regional power, the gradual reduction of US’s presence and political weight in the region, the rising role of China, the slow but continuous growth of Russian influence, also thanks to the new EEU have pushed EIEAD in 2013, and later in 2016, to call for a roundtable of Italian Diplomats who had served in the region.

An event where form, official diplomacy and protocol have left space to the open discussion among experiences, analysis, views of the different sub-regions, to achieve a shared general view of the situation as a useful tool for policy makers of the Italian and European foreign affairs.
