Abstract
For decades, the Middle East is at the center stage of international relations and is a matter of great concern for policy-makers, diplomats, scholars, journalists and numerous other people interested in regional and world stability. Nowadays, more than ever, the Middle East is in turmoil. The destabilizing issues are numerous: the horrendous situation in Syria and its awful consequences, in particular the refugees’ crisis; the instability of Iraq; the deteriorating (not to say vanishing) peace process between Israelis and Palestinians; the delicate stability of Lebanon, that is highly affected by the Syrian war; the very shaky political landscape in Afghanistan; the complex follow-up of the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement; the war in Yemen,… All those elements, and many others, are drastically affecting the Middle East, but also international peace. And they have consequences and after-shocks that are felt thousands of kilometers away from the Middle East.
