The war in Gaza and the unmaking of the Middle East
In person only
Join Andrew Miller, Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress (CAP) and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Israeli-Palestinian Affairs in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs in the Biden Administration, in conversation with Janina Dill, Professor of Global Security, as part of the Calleva-Airey Neave Global Security Seminar Series at the Blavatnik School of Government.

This session will examine how the ongoing conflict is reshaping regional dynamics, destabilising fragile political orders, and reverberating across global security architectures. Situating Gaza within the broader crises of governance, ideology, and geopolitics, the discussion will highlight the risks of regional fragmentation and the erosion of international norms. In line with the series’ aim, the seminar will explore the policy implications of these developments, providing insights for governments and decision-makers facing one of the most pressing security challenges of our time.

The event is followed by a drinks reception. Please note, this event takes place in person only.
