6. Long COVID and the New Middle East

Author : Mitchell Belfer

Published in: Global Security in Times of Covid-19

Publisher: Springer International Publishing

Abstract

COVID-19 has not redefined security dynamics in the Middle East but it has cemented political trends. This process will have long-term impacts on how the states of the Middle East view themselves, each other and the exogenous world around them. This chapter looks specifically at several interlinked thematics that moor unfolding trends to the COVID-19 experience. It identifies some of the more pronounced transitions that the pandemic has accelerated and will anticipate the who, what, where, when and why of the next round of regional crises so that policy makers may be better prepared for post-COVID-19 turbulence.
