This series offers insight in the many conflicts that have been ripping the Middle East apart and looks at the role of the international community in these events. In the first lecture, the Middle East of today will be put into the historical context of colonial politics since the First World War still casting a shadow over the region. Against this background international conflict management and mediation will be analysed, with special attention given to the Arab-Israeli conflict (second lecture) and how to deal with terrorism (third lecture). Finally, the question why the promise of an Arab Spring turned into an Arab Tempest will be discussed.
