Description
A historical exploration of how the modern Middle East was shaped through empire, partition, colonial administration and political realignment during the 20th century.
Examining the legacy of the Sykes-Picot Agreement, mandate systems, nationalism and post-colonial state formation, the discussion considers how borders, external intervention and competing visions of political identity continue to shape the region today.
The event offers historical context for many of the conflicts, alliances and tensions that continue to define the contemporary Middle East.
